The following is Chris’s favourite quote and keeps the fire that is his passion about sport burning every day. It outlines the importance of sports and shows how much power it holds to make positive change in our world. 

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”
