Recently I had a chance to go watch our home boy Milos Roanic during the Rogers Cup in Toronto. It’s nice to see the sport of tennis growing more and more every year and if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, I would urge you to go watch a match or two. Lacoste was lovely enough to invite me to attend with a entourage of other industry folks, alway nice to see familiar faces!
It was somewhat surreal getting to watch a live sporting event from a private box! I’ve never had the chance to be in one before. That being the case my girlfriend who was also in attendance decided to make a date day out of it [Thanks Lacoste]. We got to enjoy cocktails and food, and of course watch some high level tennis.
I’ve never taken a girl to a sporting event…I want to say because generally I feel like they don’t care much for sports [not in all cases]. Generally dates tend to revolve around dinner somewhere nice with fantastic food and drinks. Now my perspective has changed a little, going to a sporting event can be fun. Try it out gents and let me know how it all goes down.
The rogers cup isn’t just about watching athletes do their thing on the court, it’s a fantastic showcase for the younger players coming up in the ranks making their start in the pros. Coming up as an athlete myself I understand how hard it is to break into any sport as a career, and the enormous opportunity having a platform like the Rogers Cup to showcase your talent and be noticed. So it’s safe to say I will be going every year if not only to support our Canadian athletes.
All in all it was a fantastic experience and I would like to thank Lacoste for giving me the opportunity to attend The Rogers Cup!
