Our Philosophy

The Metro Athletic Club is comprised of athletes who compete in sports and events that require tremendous speed, power and strength. We see these qualities as analogous to those required by corporations in a fast-paced, technology-dominated, ever-changing business world.

We are constantly teaching our athletes that “in order to go faster, you need to take your time.” The 100m sprint can be lost in a blink of an eye, with one mistake costing you the race. There are stages within a race that must be managed properly. You cannot rush through one stage – you must take your time to execute properly – in an effort to get to the next stage. When you are racing against the clock, you have to start fast, hit top speed in the middle and finish strong – and, you must take your time. Not unlike tackling a high-profile project in the corporate world.

Additionally, the training of our athletes is a meticulous process that demands technical perfection on a daily basis. “Practice like you play.” If we do not train every day with the utmost quality and intensity, we cannot expect to be ready to compete at a world-class level. In competition, where the stress levels are highest, “you do not rise to the occasion… You sink to the level of your training.” In a world where only the best thrive, whether athletic or corporate, this level of consistency and attention to quality is a must!

Corporate Sponsorships

With limited sources of funding via government sports agencies, we are actively seeking support from the corporate community to provide our athletes with the means to train, compete and win at the Olympic and world-class level. With the Vancouver 2010 Olympics almost upon us, the public interest in the achievements of our local amateur athletes continues to grow. Thus, we see the next few years as critical to establishing successful relationships with corporations in an effort to show the world that British Columbians can reach the top of the podium..
