Coaches, administrators, parents, and athletes, lend me your ears.
\nAll those involved in sports in Aurora will get the chance to hear from the best in the business later this month in the inaugural Aurora Sport Summit, hosted by Sport Aurora.
\n\u201cWe are very proud of this inaugural event and hope that our community, not just those in already in sport, embrace what we\u2019re putting together for them,\u201d said Heather Di Santo, the organizer of the event.
\nWith sessions running Friday, February 23 through a full day\u2019s schedule on Saturday, attendees will hear from experts in fields ranging from nutrition, to proper coaching, sport psychology, Social Media 101, and a handful of other topics.
\nLeading the charge on Friday will be a keynote address from Vicki Keith, one of the most successful marathon swimmers in the history of the sport.
\nHolding sixteen world records and a member of the Order of Canada, Keith holds the distinction of being the first swimmer to cross all five Great Lakes.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve heard her speak and am confident that between her vast marathon swimming experience and accomplishments, and overall outlook on life, that she will bring an engaging and thought provoking presentation on \u2018Connecting Community through Sport,\u2019\u201d said Di Santo.
\nFriday\u2019s keynote, held at the Aurora Cultural Centre, will be followed by a panel session on safety in sport, with a focus on concussion awareness and management.
