Athletes don’t achieve greatness without years of practice, or without dedicated coaching. For many, that devotion to sport begins during their high school years. Starting Line-Up focuses on the various high schools across our province that have shaped Manitoba athletes, as well as the builders who fostered these programs.
Each item on display represents friends made, rivalries challenged, lessons
learned, and games won and lost. Sport is about perseverance. Challenging
not just your opponent but yourself. Finding your mental and physical limits and pushing past them, just to hit a wall and push past them again.
High school sport is more than just a first-place trophy or a championship banner. It gives young adults first-hand experience with leadership and teamwork that they carry on into their adult lives.
And it might just carry them to an induction into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame.
