Testimonials
“I have worked alongside Blake in delivering the important and powerful message of connection in sport. Blake brings a unique perspective of the critical importance of mental health both on and off the field. His professional sport experience combined with his easy going and knowledgable presentation style makes him a phenomenal asset to any team looking to take their game to the next level.”

“Blake Machan is an important voice in the ever changing space occupied by youth sport coaches, athletes, and parents. Too often the critical teaching of sport, the lessons that service us for the rest of our lives, are drowned out by the loud drum beat of revenue generation. Blake cuts through all of that to get to the heart of the matter: Sport is good, competition is healthy, failure is necessary, and resiliency is critical. We need more of the Thrive Sport Project.”
Rob Kerr
Director Sport Calgary and Community Sport Organizer
“We recently had Blake Machan speak at our first annual Division wide Mental Health Headstrong Summit, as well as classroom presentations in grades 7-9. Feedback was off the charts from both students and the teachers. He has a natural and engaging presence, and a powerful message to share. He is able to connect with students on a personable and meaningful level that promotes mental health and wellness and inspires the courage to break down stigma. Highly recommended!”

“Blake presented his powerful and timely message of resiliency to my Grade 9 students. He has an important message to share with teens about their potential to thrive and navigate positively through the complex and often tumultuous teenage world. It resonated meaningfully with their own experiences; it captivated their attention from beginning to end; and it inspired their willing, active participation in the sessions – no small feat! They left feeling empowered. Truly awesome. “
