I Lived One Block Away from a Future ICF President…

Little did I know, a future ICF President used to walk his dog in front of my house.  This was the place I lived during elementary school, no doubt pursuing my ‘dreams’ of becoming a lawyer, doctor, or something that definitely wasn’t coaching!

The house in question was 6029 Hudson Street, to be exact, in Vancouver, B.C., and Steve Mitten, former President of the ICFand Canadian Coach of the Year in 2007, lived - apparently - on Athlone Street, just one block ‘down the hill’ not ten minutes away on foot.  Of course, I don’t know the number of his former house, nor did I know him then, but you could call this my first brush with ‘the future’ of coaching, in his teenage years.  :-) 

Steve still lives somewhere in B.C. as far as I know, and I’ll be moving back later this year. I hope he doesn’t think I’m stalking him…
