Pretty proud of Riley Coome. He came into LEAP with a lot of potential as a hockey player. He found out what he could do to improve from AA and high school to Jr B... and then spent his time every day doing the work and improving.
He is one of the lucky ones where his hard work and athleticism helped him improve and he kept adjusting to higher levels of performance demands. Some athletes work hard also, but are unlucky in genes, opportunity, and adjusting to the demands of a higher level. Such is life, kids. We are watching and supporting you, Riley!!

Coome’s climb: London Knights’ defenceman on a new path Two years ago, if you asked Riley Coome where he thought he would be now, his answer would not have had anything to do with the London Knights. But, that has changed.

Great article! Local woman working in the NFL.
A few key takeaways:
She volunteered during university for Laurier Football.
She established a strong work ethic, impressed the adults she met.
Asked to learn more from adults she met.
Did NOT get into a Master's (at first) so spent a year interning for FREE to build even more networks.
Her networks worked hard to help her make connections.
Networks got her EVERY position before the NFL, and she proved them right.
Seemingly unrelated undergrad degree shows she found passion through volunteering.

Don't burn bridges! Every situation is an opportunity to impress, learn, and network.

First field trip was amazing to the Canadian Country Music Awards on Friday! Amy Regan is the best!
We had a backstage pass, tour and helped the most talented, kind, and humble Canadian musicians prepare for the show by being involved in their rehearsals.
On Sunday, lucky LEAP students were at the show and up and personal beside the stage.
Event planning training at its finest!
On Friday, we were lucky enough to interview producers of:
The Amazing Race Canada
Hockey Wives
Tragically Hip (final tour)
The World Cup of Hockey
Heritage Classic

LEAP Camp 2016
Some LEAP counselors: "I don't think I ever want to be an elementary teacher."
Me: "It's not always this busy with a field trip and Water Play Day in one day."
Counselors: "but there's like 6 of us for 10 kids and a teacher is alone with them all. They DON'T like to listen."
Me : hahahahaha
Tired teenagers...

If you believe in any type of education reform or cultural reform of something you care about (e.g. youth sports) here are a few examples of how people in another area if the world approaches innovation (in education). It's time leaders think more "out of the box" and less status quo. We are not educating "mini-me's," and thus need to approach the future differently.

It will only happen if people have less ignorant opinions and more open minds.

Teenagers are complex. Pls don't write this boy off. He would not likely make decisions that enabled him to be late if he were 23 and realized the depth of his opportunity.
He may need some more time to develop his character and it may or may not evolve into where a NHL team needs him to be. The real question is how long should the team wait while other hopeful players would clearly step up?
