All too often in youth sport we lose sight of the big picture and the value that team sport has in terms of life lessons and opportunity. Our guest today on the podcast reminds us of that. North Gloucester Giants grad and Ghanaian immigrant Cyril Adjeitey joins us and talks about his first exposure to football as youngster from Africa. Believing he was heading to “football” practice (soccer as we know it) he describes his shock in seeing shoulder pads and helmets. Quickly falling in love with and excelling in the game, Cyril parlayed his incredible on field skills to an outstanding career at the University of Ottawa, culminating in 2 All Canadian selections and 3 All OUA selections. More importantly it’s what Cyril did in the classroom that is truly leaving it’s mark. Graduating with a master’s degree in Biochemistry, Cyril has joined a company that among other things is the world’s leading producer of COVID-19 testing kits. Like many in his field, Cyril toils quietly behind the scenes making life better for all of us. A true champion on and off the field, Cyril is the epitome of success and has always served as an incredible role model.
