Perseverance and Grit. Starting with Gane Olsen coaching me in grade 11 and 12, if you set a goal, you made sure to achieve the goal, regardless of the sacrifices you had to make or the obstacles that were placed in front of you.
If you could share one message or memory with current Titans what would it be?
Everything Harry Ainlay does is FIRST CLASS!!! Enjoy your time wearing the school colors and understand not every school is able to throw so much support behind their athletic teams. You will definitely make lifelong friendships with some of your teammates, embrace those relationships and continue supporting each other.
Your favourite memory as a Titan?
I loved playing in front of my friends during the daytime during TVT. Leaving class and seeing the total support from the students. My son played in the Junior portion of TVT a year ago and it was a wonderful stroll down memory lane.
Anything else you would like to share?
My current work associates in the volleyball community roll their eyes when I still talk about my immense pride in being a Titan and I still enjoy following the results of the sports teams. Keep it up!!!
