Tuesday is a big day for Central Alberta soccer fans, and really for sporting fans and those who appreciate leadership skills as well. Two time Olympic medalist John Herdman, Canada’s National Women’s Soccer Team Head Coach is Guest Speaker at the 14th Annual RDC Kings and Queens Scholarship Breakfast.

College officials say Herdman will share his expertise and insight from coaching soccer teams to success on the international stage. It’s expected he will stress the importance of developing a high performance culture to build leaders who inspire trust, confidence and success, whether it’s on the field, in the workplace or in the home.

Herdman became the head coach of the Canadian National Women’s Soccer Team in 2011 and shortly after, he led the team to a gold medal finish at the 2011 Pan American Games – the first Pan Am gold in Canadian soccer history. Under his leadership, the team surprised the soccer world winning a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London. Then they did it again at the 2016 Summer Games. Before leading the Canadian team, Herdman was the head coach of the New Zealand Women’s National team from 2006 to 2011.
