Scott Brolin: What inspired me to become a physiotherapist

My first exposure to physio came after a skiing injury as a teenager. After I starting supporting the SFU Women's Soccer team in the 90's, I realized that physiotherapy was for me and started my efforts to applying to physiotherapy schools. Working with the SFU Women's Soccer team provided such insight into the role of physiotherapy (as I worked under direction of Laurie Freebairn, SFU Athletics) and how much I valued the ability to help others in achieving their goals. Various other PT mentors have helped to shape my career and continue today, but I owe the deepest gratitude for lightling my physiotherapy spark (in what had, until that time, been a somewhat aimless path in University) to SFU Women's Soccer and to Laurie, who will always hold a special place in my heart!
