I’m Israeli and I’ve been here for six or seven years now. In Montreal and at Concordia, especially, I’ve had the opportunity to talk and collaborate with people from different nationalities that, if I were at home in Israel, I would never have had the opportunity to meet. At the end of the day, we are all just human beings; people. If we can sit in class together, study for exams together, and do projects together, then we can do other things together. We can expand the conversation. What I really want to do is create sports games that bring people together.

“How do sports bring people together?”

“There is a goal: to win. When you have a shared goal, I believe, you can put your differences aside. It’s also hard to run a lot and play a long game. Human connections get a lot deeper when it’s hard. People will help each other finish that last mile, score that last goal, raise one another up to the finish line.”
