As many of you know, I take a lot of pride in your athletic achievements. Whether they be in my program, or in other recreational pursuits. (Even goofy “sports” like Curling :) I ask a lot of you guys out there, and every month somebody manages to do something that amazes me, themselves, and their fellow participants! Over the past year, I’ve had participants nominate their peers for recogniton on a monthly basis. Apart from getting some major props, the winners received sweet prizes from my sponsors and I. At the end of the year, a champion was crowned, based on the number of monthly wins they achieved. These guys walked away with some heavy loot. This system worked well, but like any other system, it had it’s flaws. So…I’ve decided to change things up a bit.
For starters, the contests will be called “Athlete of the Month” and “Athlete of the Year”. I think these monikers really define who we are, and what we do out there. It separates us from all the other “run of the mill” bootcamps. Each month, my instructors and I will select a Male and Female athlete from both Crew and Elite programs. The “Athlete of the Month” title will be awarded to individuals who exhibit mad skills out on the field, while demonstrating leadership attributes that make their teams better. At the end of the year, the individual with the most “Athlete of the Month” wins, will be crowned “Athlete of the Year”.
Without further adieu, here are your Athletes of the Month for April……

This month, all winners will receive a $25 giftcard from New Balance Toronto.
That’s it…..That’s all.
