What young athletes learn through sport later proves valuable in the business world.
“You can’t do it yourself. You have to build a team. You have to lead a team,” says Don Bristow of BMA Benefits, and Brian Mallard and Associates.
“I truly believe that kids who get involved in sports have a different thought process, a team mentality of working hard and mentality of succeeding. You carry that on in your life skills afterwards,” says the former football player whose three children competed in hockey, volleyball and basketball.
“Sport is where kids learn to be competitive, learn business and learn to stay out of trouble, so supporting facilities at Gordie Howe Sports Complex made 100% sense.”
BMA Benefits, and Brian Mallard and Associates also recognize the importance of having an indoor facility for year-round training and competition, especially for sports like ball.
