Breanne Nicholas: “Give It A Try”

There truly are so many sports for young athletes, and girls in particular to try.

Team Canada rugby member, and Blenheim, Ontario product Breanne Nicholas has a message for young girls thinking about trying sports

“Sports are an amazing way to exert some energy, be competitive, build friendships, and stay physically healthy,” Nicholas said.

“There are so many types of sports out there available to be explored and enjoyed by all.”

Nicholas has been a key component of Canada’s Rugby 7s team in recent seasons, and is currently in the process of helping Canada compete for an entry in the 2020 Summer Olympics.

For Nicholas, rugby is a sport she believes is worth a “try.”

“Rugby for instance is a very welcoming sport to anyone who wants to be involved,” Nicholas said. “Team cohesion, running, ball handling, and contact are some of the many aspects associated with playing rugby! Whether it’s rugby or any other sport.

“You won’t know if you like it unless you give it a try!”
