The framework has indisputably been laid...Putting People First, Wellness, is Now a Part of Sport’s DNA

“Obviously performance and winning is a big part of it, but so is coming out of your athletic endeavours just feeling good. Because at the end of the day if we’re not here to help people to enjoy their experience, to gain from it, then what are we doing?”
— Mick Lizmore, national wheelchair curling coach

The Story: https://www.ownthepodium.org/en-CA/Pursuit/Stories-and-Videos/Putting-People-First,-Wellness,-is-Now-a-Part-of-S

Le cadre a incontestablement été posé.... Mettre les gens au premier plan et le mieux-être font désormais partie de l'ADN du sport

« La performance et la victoire sont évidemment des éléments importants, mais il est tout aussi important de se sentir bien après avoir pratiqué un sport. Parce que si nous ne sommes pas là pour aider les gens à profiter de leur expérience, à en tirer avantage, quel est notre rôle ? »
— Mick Lizmore, entraîneur national de curling en fauteuil roulant
