Coach,

My name is Patrick Steenberge and I was fortunate to have the honor to play Quarterback and
letter two seasons under coach Ara Parseghian at Notre Dame. It was at school that I learned the
importance of teamwork and also of the power, influence and impact of international travel.

The Global Varsity Games is an international sports tour & event that provides the opportunity for
young amateur athletes from different countries to compete against one another, while
experiencing and learning first-hand about each other's cultures, customs and history.

At the Global Varsity Games we believe in, and indeed see every year, the incredible effect of
educational sports travel. At the beginning of each new athletics season hundreds of our travelers
(players, staff, coaches, family, fans and friends included) return home better citizens, more
confident, more enthusiastic in the classroom and on the playing field; more engaged in the world
around them; better prepared for life and more likely to make a difference to each other as
teammates.

Participate in the Global Varsity Games and you’ll get your students’ attention and keep it. And
best of all you’ll make a difference in their lives. I encourage you to contact one of your fellow
coaches who have traveled with us to hear about their experiences playing in the Global Stadium.

Happy trails!

Patrick Steenberge, President Global Sports
