"Winning and losing is not all that important; more important was to nurture a civilized life by way of playing the games themselves and thereby celebrating fair, noble ideals."
Bill Harper, on the role of soccer for political prisoners at The Robben Island Prison during apartheid in South Africa

Pierre Alain - Head Coach, Hockey Canada U18 Women's National Team
It was an immense pleasure to get to know Chantale Lussier. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity of knowing
an extraordinary woman who has dedicated herself to human beings. Her love of life can be read on her face every
time you meet. She brought to our team a breath of fresh air, joy, positivity, and especially confidence. The discourse
that Chantale holds, is one that is grounded, based on the philosophy of doing what we do fueled by passion, for the love
of our sport. Her perspectives led the way to a sense of confidence in our process, on the work that we do week to week,
well before the competitive event: Have confidence in your training, trust your strengths, your teammates, and last but
not least trust the team's vision and plan. Finally, she encouraged us to trust the present moment.
Thank you so much Chantale for your incredible support, your work, and your contagious joy for life along with the confidence
you brought to our U18 Women's National Team 2011-2012. World Champions in the Czech Republic, January 2012. (photo credit: Jana Chytilova, IIHF)
Sylvie Desrosiers - Director Contemporary Dance Programme, The School Of Dance
Chantale is an excellent teacher/consultant, she is very well organized, her objectives and goals always clearly
outlined. Her focus and dedication makes her a pleasure to work with. She is spirited, generous, thoughtful and
extremely reliable. She is also very dynamic, internally grounded and focused on the task at hand, qualities that
are essential in nurturing a group of young dance artists/athletes. Chantale, very sensitive to group dynamics,
foresees upcoming issues and puts in place the necessary support systems. She has proven to inspire high
achievements from the students; she explains very well the details of the strategies and skills needed to achieve
the dancers work and objectives. She has also proven instrumental in guiding the students/dancers to access their
peak performance level. Chantale is also fluent in both French and English, which makes for communication with all
staff and dancers very accessible. I am positive Chantale would be an excellent addition to your team. She would
support the team and their goal with intent and efficacy.
Tony Milo - Academy Director, Tony Milo Tennis Academy & Carleton Tennis Centre
Chantale radiates a positive energy that is hard to match. To entice 13 and 14 year old boys to talk about their
feelings is not an easy task, yet she does it with patience and compassion. The boys enjoy their sessions and work
with her and we appreciate how prepared she always is with her lesson plans. She is an important part of helping
them achieve their goals and take their game to the next level. In sports, fitness is important - but so is the
mind. Chantale helps my players prepare mentally for all their challenges.
