Happy Easter
April 21

Yum Chocolate!
While we aren't promoting binging on a basket of chocolate this Easter, dark chocolate can have some health benefits in small portions for athletes!

A study suggests that dark chocolate may be similar to beetroot juice which is rich in nitrates. This is converted to nitric oxide in the body and dilates blood vessels, reducing oxygen consumption.
In translation: athletes are able to go further for longer.
 
vegan? Not to worry, most dark chocolate does not contain any milk ingredients. Just make sure to check the label first!

JACOB OOSTINDIE
Coach of the Month

JACOB'S FAVORITES: 

Favourite Food: Steak and grilled vegetables
Favourite Team: Canucks 
Favourite Athlete: 
Rob Gronkowski 
Most Memorable Moment:
Being a part of the first football team at Argyle in 30 years. I had never played football before and when I heard that we were getting a team I knew I had to join. We may not have been the most feared team to play against but it was an unbelievable experience playing football for the remainder of my high school days and seeing the opportunities that it lead me. I encourage everyone who has the opportunity to play football to do so.

JACOB'S QUOTE:
"Having been a Gameready athlete that has been with the program since the beginning where we used to workout in a rec-centre to now having our own facilities, it is crazy to see how far Gameready has transformed. Being able to work where I once trained is a cool experience because I know first hand the positive outcomes that arise from Gameready, through encouragement, positive reinforcement and how hard work pays off."

SAMUEL BOX

SAMUEL'S FAVORITES:

Favourite Food: Watermelon

Most Memorable Moment:  When we played basketball at Gameready and I made all the shots and coach Jess said I was doing amazing in the game, it was a good feeling

SAMUEL'S QUOTE:
"Gameready helps me with exercising and helps me play a lot better as an athlete. This is the best program I have ever been to and this place makes me a better person and helps me reach my goals."

Game Ready and the Washington Kids Foundation is a collaboration built on the fundamental belief that all youth deserve the opportunity to be successful in life, despite their circumstances.  We understand that youth learn and engage in different ways. Our program emphasizes positive leadership from coaches who will challenge the youth to work hard through workouts and then review the principals and concepts they have learned while pushing themselves. Our focus is on youth development therefore emphasizing skills and habits to be utilized for the rest of their life.

 

Programs ongoing in Surrey, North Van, East Van & Coquitlam.

 

Our Mission

At Washington Kids Foundation, we believe that all youth deserve the opportunity to succeed.

Our goal is to help the youth in our community reach their full potential by developing the building blocks for a healthy, productive and independent life. We’re convinced that once the foundation is in place – our youth will not only make the most of their life, they will go on to achieve remarkable things.
 

Our Programs

Our after-school, evening and school break Life Pillars programming – made up of Fit For Life, Lead For Life and Learn For Life elements, is designed to give youth ages 5-18 a solid foundation on which to build a great life.

We provide a positive, safe environment and  team of coaches, mentors and advocates dedicated to helping youth develop the skills needed to thrive, such as good decision making, effective study and social skills, leadership, dealing with peer pressure, nurturing their bodies through healthy food and fitness choices, and much more.
