The experience of the Canadian championship motivated players to excel, revealing the team’s potential.

The experience of the Canadian championship was an unprecedented source of motivation for the CS Saint-Laurent players. Each match was an opportunity to push their limits and showcase the team’s exceptional talent to Canada. Every training session was filled with palpable energy, fueled by the fervent desire to improve and prepare for upcoming challenges. Every detail was carefully studied, from on-field strategies to recovery routines, with the ultimate goal of representing our club and community with dignity. This experience strengthened our determination to practice more, refine our skills, and continue our progression as athletes. We are proud to wear the CS Saint-Laurent colors and demonstrate to Canada that we have the talent and passion to compete at the highest level.

For Jesse Acteson, assistant coach, this tournament was both enriching and revealing. Facing both a CPL team and an MLS team allowed him to perceive clear differences in level and intensity. It was an opportunity to learn, progress, and realize that there is still room for improvement. Despite efforts, lack of detail sometimes cost the team, but this experience enhanced his motivation to work harder and focus on essential aspects of the game to reach new heights.

As head coach, Nick Razzaghi thoroughly enjoyed the Canadian championship experience. Each moment on the field was both fun and stimulating for him. Viewing each match as a challenge, he saw it as an opportunity to push both the team and himself to their limits. During this intense competition, he found his rhythm and felt even more comfortable in his role. Despite the high stakes, he didn’t feel stressed, but rather a love for the experience and the constant challenge of elevating the game to a higher level.
