I'm honoured to be part of an organization that goes from the grassroots all the way up to the national team level. That does present some of the complexities, of course, but I always look at sport as being sport for all, and soccer is for all. It's in every corridor of our country.
We want to make sure we have a framework and we have the opportunities, so that everyone is engaged: men, women and various diverse groups, from indigenous communities to the very multi-ethnic groups across our country. This is the kind of organization we want to build. Yes, it's one that is transparent and that's built on trust, and again, that's built on further transparency, but we also have our athletes. We have to make sure we do right by them, because they are the ones...their platforms are so powerful and so important, and they are the inspiration for our nation.
That's what drives me every day. We just want to put our arms around so many of the various groups that aren't a part of Canada Soccer and bring them in and let them feel that this is a safe environment that they can be a part of.
