Carl-Andre Potier is a coach for the Bell Warriors Bantam team. He played football growing up all the way to university. He played for the Western Mustangs at Western University. Potier says that football has been an extremely beneficial aspect of his life. “It has impacted me in so many ways and has made me the person I am today. Giving back to our youth is the least I can do to pay back my dues.” says Potier. Potier says that his favourite thing about coaching is seeing the players improve throughout the season, not just with their physical skills but with skills that help them become better individuals. The most rewarding moment for Potier isn’t winning, even though that is a great feeling. “The most rewarding moments is to see your players do things they never thought they would do, such as overcoming their fears and challenges.” says Potier. Potier says that one of his biggest challenges is seeing the sadness in his player’s eyes after a loss. “The biggest challenge in sport is to win it all. Unfortunately, there is only one team in football that wins every year. I tell my players, in life there is no such things as winning and losing, it is all about winning and learning and as long as each player improves in any way during the season, it is a win for all of us.” says Potier.
