On May 15th, I walked into the CAA Centre for my very first Brampton Honey Badgers game. And almost instantly, I felt emotion rush over me. Pride. Gratitude. Reflection. And what can only be described as a true full-circle moment. Not simply because I love sport, although I absolutely do.
There was a time when exhaustion in leadership was worn like a badge of honour. Long hours. Constant availability. Pushing through stress. Running on caffeine and adrenaline.
