The Arena podcast tackles the topic of multi-sport benefits

Calgary radio personalities Joe Mcfarland and Dave McIvor, who work with 770 CHQR, host a podcast called The Arena.

Last week, inspired by the Change It Up campaign, their topic was the importance of multi-sport opportunities for kids.

Richard Monette was a guest on the podcast. He talked about the role Active for Life is trying to play in supporting parents in raising happy, healthy kids, and about the unique multi-sport project that brought together four of Canada’s largest national sport organizations.

Jeff Ovens of Calgary’s Global Sport Academy was also a guest, speaking about how his organization is committed to developing well-rounded kids, not single-sport athletes.
