why resilience?
What is RESILIENCE? "Resilience is the ability to withstand pressures and adversity, maintaining performance and well-being through difficult situations."
​
Why RESILIENCE is important in sports? "Resilient athletes have a challenge mindset. This means they face challenges positively and believe they have the resources to overcome them."
​
How important is Team environment on building RESILIENCE? "....for a challenge mindset to work best, we need to create an environment that facilitates athlete resilience. It’s not all about testing athletes’ ability to withstand pressure, it’s also important to find and create an environment in which they can thrive. The best environment for resilience is one that is high in both challenge and support. Coaches can create this by maintaining high expectations of athletes’ abilities and performance, while also providing support. It’s a recipe for high athlete performance and well-being."

Woodbridge Soccer Club would like to thank Stratos Kalpakidis for the motivational/team bonding workshops he conducted for our OPDL teams.
The comment below is a from a parent,
who summed our experience with the workshop:
“Thank you for organizing last night’s presentation and thank you to the gentleman who led the meeting. There was a lot of great information and stories that were shared. I hope the boys find this information useful for their future.
A few points from last night really stood out to me:
1. Success is built on knowledge, skills and attitude.
2. Discipline is the key driver on the road to success.
3. I’m paraphrasing; one can/will always find the right voice/teacher to offer advice and encouragement on your journey. “
Chris Shelton

It was a great pleasure having Stratos join our U13 OPDL group to kick off the outdoor season. His workshop provided each player with a certain level of confidence and understanding to what it takes to achieve success. It was great seeing the team bonding.
Coach Ivan Juric RUSH Canada
"On behalf of everyone at Rush Canada Soccer Academy, I would like to thank Stratos for a wonderful online workshop. Stratos successfully delivered his online workshop "Resilience, we bend, but we don't break!" with well over one hundred of our youth members. The timing of his presentation was amazing since many of our youth athletes are dealing with the challenges of COVID-19. He went over the challenges he had to overcome and how they shaped his life and then he tactfully introduced the players to different aspects of mental health and mental training and what they could and should be doing during the pandemic. His workshop included many different activities to engage the players during the presentation. Thank you Stratos for a much needed workshop!"
