Baseball/Softball DirectorSandy Grant
Sandy says, “I love to laugh; I love to try new things; I don’t mind failing - it’s just another word for learning. I want to be a good role model for my kids and husband and most of all, I want to inspire kids to do this for their kids one day.” Contact Sandy here. |
Sandy originally arrived in Belgium as a student from University of Ottawa to learn French and finish her degree. One year turned into two … and now 25 years later with her husband and two daughters she is living the local expat life in Lasne while working full-time in the IT world. In her free time, Sandy gives Pilates and Yoga classes out of her home studio, volunteers as a Brownie leader with Girl Guiding UK, plays fast-pitch softball with the Brussels Kangaroos, and umpires a game here and there.Basketball Director Dan Campbell
Although Dan has lived all over Canada including both coasts, he has never lived overseas and so in late November 2020, he left a 20-year career in the pharmaceutical industry to join his wife on this, their first posting, to Brussels. They have two young children who attend ISB which is how Dan came to BSA and eventually along with 2 other coaches oversaw the U13 team last year. Dan was immediately taken with the philosophy of BSA and guiding principle that BSA could serve as a bridge for kids living in Brussels and that the goal should be learning through fun and structure with an emphasis on teamwork and respect. He hopes to carry on the great tradition of BSA and working with new Director Lizette Subach, grow the basketball program post Covid to reach as many families as possible! Dan played basketball for over 15 years but prefers fairways over running the lanes on a fast break these days! He’s genuinely excited and honored to be a part of the BSA team. Contact Dan here.
