Thiago believes that sport can be a catalyst to promote positive change in people and society; he has been an advocate that equity, diversity, and inclusion are beneficial for the sport. He thinks a team functions better when its players are a diverse lot — a dynamic mix of people of different cultures, ages, gender, and viewpoints who feel included and accepted.

Jerson Barandica (Technical Director): 

As a native of Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, Mexico, futsal was the beginning of everything for Jerson in relation to this beautiful sport. Growing up, his most vivid and enjoyable memories involved always competing and playing 5 side futsal games with friends anywhere where they could find space. It gave Jerson the foundation that prepared him for the opportunities he received to build upon the full 11-a side game. These opportunities included being recruited to a private high school for their futsal team. With this team, he was able to win 2 Mexican National Inter-Cuam Championships in a period of 3 years. Later on, he chose to attend the University of Saskatchewan and major in Civil Engineering. Jerson considers that playing at the U of S was an unbelievable experience that allowed him to get selected to represent Canada at two World University Games (2009 - Belgrade, Serbia & 2011- Shenzhen, China). More importantly, at this point is where he met some fantastic teammates, friends, and mentors for life.
