Glen Mulcahy

Glen grew up playing multiple sports across Canada and played on provincial winning teams in Hockey, Football and Rugby. He is a graduate and now a mentor of the University of British Columbia’s School of Kinesiology. Soon after he graduated from UBC he started coaching, and he has now coached men, women, boys and girls in slow-pitch, hockey, baseball, softball, rugby and ball hockey for over 2 decades. Glen is also the founder and CEO of Paradigm Sports and Executive Director of For the Love of the Game, two organizations with the key goal of educating coaches, parents, and sport organizations of current trends, research, and best practices to make sure youth sport is a wholly positive experience for kids. His infamous quote “Kids play sports because they’re fun, they quit when they’re not. It’s not rocket science” shows his ability to simplify the issue and speak to and engage people in a way that makes them want to understand and be better for the kids they serve.
