Coach Noli facilitated the festivities with his typical “adrenaline” facilitating skills. After a round of introductions, Coach Marc graciously provided an overview of Adrenaline Solutions – how it began as a response to provide coach education during the pandemic and its mission to empower sports organizations with people and expertise to help them achieve their goals. The group was eventually divided into smaller breakout sessions where people could chat more intimately. 

“I’m so excited, grateful, and privileged to have you all in this call,” Marc said. He reflected on the gathered team that, “This is what humans are. No borders, race, age gap. This is what sport does and it’s part of our mission.”

The sports consultants gathering is expected to continue every quarter.
