Coach

Gideone’s mission is to foster personal growth and emotional resilience through sports, education, and genuine connection. With a background shaped by overcoming adversity, he helps youth and parents navigate challenges with strength, confidence, and purpose.

Gideone’s story begins with his love of sports and a dream to become a professional football player. His path was set when, as a high school freshman, he led his Varsity football team to a provincial championship as the starting quarterback. However, just one year later, his dream seemed to shatter when he tore his ACL. After 16 months of grueling rehabilitation, Gideone was back on the field, won another championship—only to suffer the same injury again. Faced with the choice to either give up or press on, Gideone chose the latter. His unwavering dedication not only got him back on the field but led him to play five more football seasons as a scholarship athlete, earn a university degree, and begin coaching youth across Canada. His journey is a testament to the power of resilience—overcoming hardship and learning to do hard things, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Academically, Gideone has a Major in Communications and a Minor in Educational Psychology, blending his passion for coaching with an understanding of how young minds develop. Gideone’s upbringing in a home that welcomed over 30 foster siblings gave him a unique perspective on family, love, and compassion. He witnessed firsthand how his parents treated every child—whether biological or foster—with the same care and structure. Growing up alongside foster siblings taught Gideone that family is built not by blood, but by love and commitment.

Watching his parents both parent and coach gave Gideone a front-row seat to a parenting style that blended honesty, compassion, and love. His parents’ ability to balance discipline with affection left a profound impact on him, showing him that the best educators and leaders know how to deliver hard truths in a way that is both loving and constructive. This philosophy guides his approach to coaching and working with youth today. He believes that honest feedback, delivered with care, is the key to unlocking personal growth and development.

Now working with Life Ready, an organization focused on trauma-informed and culturally competent care, Gideone helps youth build resilience and thrive. With a deep passion for leadership, resilience, and youth development, Gideone is dedicated to inspiring others to face life’s challenges with confidence and courage. Through his work, he continues to create spaces where individuals can grow, connect, and become the best versions of themselves.
