This month's #KidSport25 skill of the month is "When we are responsible, we learn". Retired professional lacrosse player, Geoff Snider shared with us how this "skill of the month" applies to his story: "It takes courage and vulnerability to be able to take responsibility for yourself, for your actions, for your peers and for your team. Sport in itself creates incredible opportunities to be held responsible and to learn how to share responsibility amongst teammates, coaches, a...nd opponents. Sport teaches that being held responsible is a positive thing for growth and learning. Being responsible is being a leader." - Geoff Snider - Official #SkillOfTheMonth #Responsibility #SportSkills #LifeSkills #GiveBack ELEV8 Lacrosse
