Welcome to Sportopia, the place to re-imagine the future of sport! In this week’s episode, host Dina Bell-Laroche leads a discussion with Team Member and Leadership Coach, Lauren Brett and special guest Ed Van Hoof, Head National Team Coach for Men’s Artistic Gymnastics at Gymnastics Canada. The pair share why they believe it is critically important to intentionally Design your Team’s Alliance to both ensure effective communications and to proactively prevent issues from arising. Designing Team Alliance is a Sport Law Program that we’ve created to foster healthy and holistic coach athlete relationships. Listen in as we discuss the evolving relationships between athletes and coaches and the move towards more open, values-based interactions.

The Sportopia Podcast is recorded on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. We wish to thank these First Peoples who continue to live on these lands and care for them, and whose relationship with these lands existed from time immemorial. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live, work, and play on these lands.
Sport Law is committed to recognizing, supporting, and advocating for reconciliation in Canada and to actively work against colonialism by amplifying Indigenous voices and increasing our own understanding of local Indigenous people and their cultures.
