Compressed - The Photographic Proof

Compressed

Yup, I've just been given a pair of those white knee-socks. The CEP website says they are for high performance and professional athletes.

Sponsored!

I've let a few people know and more will find out in the weeks ahead after the contract has been signed.

But I'm now a sponsored athlete.

Coach Tim

After several false starts, I took a coaching course and I'm now considered as a trained Community coach.

It's a new designation as the Coaching Association of Canada tries to find a way to encourage more people to coach athletes at the grassroots level across the country.

To become certified as a professional coach - something that I'm not planning to do now - would require more courses, a series of evaluations and about 12 months of time.
