For Glen, building a complete program that supported both male and female athletes in their sports was important. Students were encouraged to become involved with the athletic program. Roles and responsibilities were outlined. Whether you were an athlete, a spectator, a minor official or a concession worker, Glen made it his mission to make sure everyone who wanted to be involved felt like they were an important part of the program.
When describing Glen, and his overall commitment to building the athletic program words like passionate, dedicated, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, respectful, and compassionate come to mind. He always led by example. He inspired the students to be committed to one another and their school community. Glen promoted team values, life values, life skills over individual recognition. An example of these qualities put into action would be the mini-basketball program he started for the grades four, five and six. Varsity players were encouraged to coach, officiate, and help to run the mini league. He was teaching within his program the importance of giving back, the importance of mentoring, the importance of building community and the importance of good citizenship.
Sportsmanship and integrity were a cornerstone of the athletic program Glen built. He set the bar very high for how he expected student-athletes and coaches to conduct themselves while representing Foremost School.
