Can the Riders move Rider Nation?

posted by: Kenji category: Engagment, Healthy Living, Leadership, Sport

They pulled it off! The Riders are headed to the Grey Cup and Rider Nation is going with them in one way or another! Most of these guys have probably been working to get where they are for the better part of their lives. There is a reason athletes are able to dedicate their lives to an activity. The adrenaline rush, the physical improvements and health benefits [even when guys are busted up, they are only concerned with the date they can get back in there] the mental escape from stress, the friendships they build, basically the pursuit of happiness. My hope is the people of Saskatchewan are inspired to harness the benefits of being active for themselves. Saskatchewan already has a crazy strong “movement” in the form of Rider Nation and it isn’t much of a stretch to make the link to physical activity. I’m gunna go ahead a releate all of this awesomeness to the power of young people too!

As the world gets smaller because of technology one basic right of children is being lost. The Right to Play! The video that really inspired me write this blog is a Master Card commercial. The message is: When children play, the world wins. I couldn’t agree more and I love to play to this day!
