Feeling incredibly grateful and energized after being invited to present my Scoreboard Soccer concept at events in Niagara, Toronto, and Halifax.

Huge thanks to @CoachDavidBaird , Scottish FA Coach Educator and creator of Scoreboard Soccer, for delivering two insightful and inspiring education session to our grassroots coaches and club staff. Your knowledge and passion are truly appreciated! #Grassroots#ScoreboardSoccer
Huge thank you to @jacobshaff2 for coming to speak with our U13 Provincial players today. So privileged to have such an amazing role model to inspire the young players in NS!
I remember when we introduced this in @cmsasoccer…
My inbox melted… we were told we were ruining the game, kids wouldn’t understand, kids couldn’t adjust, and that’s not the real game…
Wonder if any of those people will think it’s amazing now that it’s done in England…
Big thanks to @IainKingSport and @Soccer_CB for hosting a successful SNS U12 ID Event! It was a joy watching players from across our province having fun and showcasing their skills in beautiful Cape Breton, NS
Thankful to have attended the @SportForLife_ summit yesterday in Victoria, BC.
Inspiring panel presentations, engaging case studies & meaningful discussions about the importance of inclusion in sport and physical activity!
