I’m speechless. Those of you who know me well, realize that’s not easy for me to say. Then I say a lot….
Last night, I went back to St Kitts to witness a club I started with friends 9 years ago run a networking event. It was one of the most impressive & fun events I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to super bowl, masters… this was different for me. It touched my heart. It inspired me.
I founded the BSBA (Brock Sport & Business Association) with two of my brothers, and at BrockU
We wanted sport and business opps to be inclusive to all at school, and provide a vehicle for other students to do things similar and better to what I had done as a dual citizen. Not easy to do when 90% of sports biz jobs are in the USA…
🧠 Ideation. 🖊️ Pen and 📄 paper. We founded the club. We wanted to run a large networking event 2 months later... We went door to door, 20 students strong, and did the best we could through our networks to get something worth going to. In fall 2016, we somehow got 130 + passionate students opportunities they didn’t have before. Speakers included Elliott Kerr, the Honourable , Andrew Hardaker, Brian Hutchings and more.
Now, the club that used to meet in an impossible to get to hidden brick room at Brock I still don’t know how to get to, is thriving, run by lady bosses like who just landed a dream job at , and many supportive staff and ambassadors. The event and club is thriving beyond my wildest dreams.
I am so proud of these young, passionate, inspired, and wonderful people who have kept the spark we started alive and poured gas on to it and now it’s 🔥 🔥 🔥
Surgite for life! Sports biz for life!
My heart beats out of my chest writing this. It’s for the next generation. There is hope and there is light.
Let’s GO
