Adam van Koeverden: Three Things
Canada's Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden drops by our Boys & Girls Jr. Wolves games, dropping some advice that takes him from a free program — not unlike Free Play for Kids — all the way to the Olympics. 🐺
Show up. Listen. Be positive.
“Even if you’re not the best person on your team. Even if your not the tallest, or the fastest, or the most skilled.”
Like our daily after school program Free to Play, consistency is paramount in building trust. Trust in yourself to keep showing up. To trying new things. To taking small steps that lead to large outcomes like Olympic podiums.
This is a lesson these kids won’t forget when it comes from the lips of a multiple Olympic medalist. It is opportunities like this our Wolves, and our entire soccer pathway powered by Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities are afforded, when sponsors show up alongside government at all levels.
