“I leaned so much about team work and goal setting. It was the best presentation that ever came to our school.”

I simply wanted to pass on that Brenna's presentation at Notre Dame High School was great. Our intermediate students and staff had a blast! Thank you very much!

Brenna showed us that setting goals is good and if you set them you can get them!
Cindy, Grade 6 student, Lady Evelyn Alternative – Ottawa ON
The Esteem Team got our students pumped, not only about the Olympics, but about participating in sports. We even got to see one of the Olympic torches! We were fortunate to have the pleasure of two athletes (Brenna Casey & Mark Hatfield) sharing their passion with our students. I would recommend these presentations to all schools as a great way to encourage students to, “Reach for the Stars”.
