A true role model in sport is someone who works hard each and every day at practice, strives to be the best athlete they can be, sets goals for themselves, is a strong team player and leader and who gives back to the sport in which they compete. Breda Vosters is a role model.

A member of the Youth National Team since 2006, Breda exemplifies all of the attributes and characteristics of a sport role model. For this reason, coupled with her accomplishments in the pool, Breda has received the prestigious “Women to Watch” grant from Sport Manitoba.

Breda Vosters has been playing water polo with the Bushido Aquatic Club since the age of 6. Since this young age, she has increased her level and frequency of training that has now become a six day per week commitment.

This past summer, Breda was named to the Canadian Team competing at the Youth National Pan American Games held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Breda 's leadership also gave her the honor of being named as the Canadian Team Captain.

In addition, Breda was selected by the Senior Women's National team coaching staff to train and compete as a player on the Canadian Select League in Montreal . This selection is a true testament to her skills, athleticism and maturity. It allows her to train in Montreal with Senior and Junior National teams year-round. This additional opportunity for training will aid Breda as she strives to compete in Junior World's in 2009 and the Olympics in London in 2012.

The things that make Breda such a role model are not just about her athletic achievements: they are things like her humility and avoidance of the spotlight, the fact that she would much rather be highlighted as a “team” than as an individual, the fact that she volunteers her time coaching to pass on her knowledge and leadership to younger players.

Breda is not only a role model for women in sport, but for all athletes in sport and all people in life.

Congratulations Serena Bredin - named to Canada's Junior Womens National Team!! She competed at the Pan Am Junior Championships which were held in Montreal this summer!

Congratulations also to Heather Carson - she has been added to the Junior Team and competed at a series of international games in July against the New Zealand National Team!

*Both of these girls have also been selected as ALL STARS at the Youth Women's Nationals!*
