My philosophy is "Everything I ever needed to know about business I learned on the sports field." From Behind The Scoreboard, I feature the sports stories that tell us much more than simply who won or lost. These personal and inspiring experiences of grade school, high school, college, other amateur and even pro athletes allow all of us to reflect a little more on what is important in life. ~ James C. Metzger, Chairman and CEO, Whitmore — The Agency _______ Mini-Pitch Gets Everyone Into The Game Former star soccer goalie Tim Howard, along with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the City of Yonkers and a corporate sponsor, have delivered a mini-pitch to a community park in this Westchester community. The ball remains constantly in-play with a mini-pitch and the field generates greater soccer engagement—increased ball contact, more in-game decisions and more goals—for players. The new Yonkers field at Pelton Park is the latest project by the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s “It’s Everyone’s Game,” a national movement to ensure children in underserved communities enjoy the health and youth development benefits of the game. The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new soccer field also launched the Tim Howard Foundation that provides resources, experiences and opportunities for children facing challenges in their families or communities. Now these are G-O-A-L-S for everyone! Learn more in my latest blog.
