James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop
hit Friday's news with Wayne Rooney returning to Major League
Soccer as the head coach of DC United, Cristiano Ronaldo rejecting
a reported $300 million offer from a Saudi Arabian club, and the
Canadian women's national team punching their ticket to the
CONCACAF W Final versus the United States. Dan Wong is puzzled as
to why no one thought CanWNT v USWNT would be a better draw on
a Sunday night instead of Monday.
But the bulk of Friday's episode was an insightful and eye
opening conversation with Eva Havaris, the VP of Partnerships and
Participation at Tennis Canada. The former Canadian Premier League
executive peeled the curtain back on the conversations that are had
in national sport body boardrooms, what mistakes she's seen over
the years and has learned to avoid, and what Tennis Canada has done
to build strong relationships and trust with their best, and most
marketable, athletes. Y/ou'll learn a lot more from this episode
than you usually do when listening to Footy Prime.
