“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

With over a decade of experience working with young people, my diverse background combined with my own experiences sets me apart from other coaches.

Over the years I have held various positions working directly with youths including my time as a high school rugby coach and at Westhaven Community Centre in NDG. I also played competitive sports including rugby for Concordia University.

Being a young person today is not easy. We often feel unheard or dismissed. We won't achieve our goals if we lack inspiration or motivation. Not only am I an advocate for addressing mental health issues among my generation, I can also understand how it feels being on the other side of the chair. 

My name is Keyon Cyrus and I am a Life Coach for young people. I focus on the 16 to 21 age group (or Secondary 4 to first year university students) as these are pivotal years in one's life. 

I am currently in my final year at Concordia University and am an Educator at Batshaw Youth and Family Centres.
