When asked why GBASO is important to him, Shea said, “Since my first experience with GBASO, I knew I needed to get involved at some level. I have been passionate about youth development since before my boys were born. They are now 14 and 11 years old, good students, and avid skaters. I have seen firsthand through their experiences at GBASO how this organization can improve their growth and self-confidence. When they first walked into GBASO four years ago, they were shy and not confident in their skating abilities. Their self-confidence grew within a few minutes of starting their first skate through the instructions and encouragement they received from staff members and other kids in attendance. Seeing how proud they were of their new skills and how they interacted with everyone there, I knew immediately it was the right place for them.”
