Sports teach kids lessons that resonate with them long after their playing days are over. They learn translatable life skills such as hard work, teamwork, leadership, accountability, and discipline. Most importantly, they have fun.
For these reasons, the Pat Connaughton Foundation is committed to making sports accessible to student athletes across the world.
โAs a multi-sport athlete, sport has taught me some of lifeโs most valuable lessons โ hard work, teamwork, leadership, accountability, and discipline. I want to give back to the communities I call home and provide our next generation with opportunities and life lessons through the lens of youth sports. My goal is always to show kids their potential and inspire them to dream big. Whether they want to be a professional athlete, a scientist, a teacher, or anything else when they grow up, itโs possible. The lessons and values that they learn on the court translate across their lives and can help them achieve incredible things. I am honored to be in a position and have a platform that allows me to inspire the next generation of student athletes and shape them into our future leaders."
