Serving sport and community through PISE

From tennis courts around the world to leading the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence (PISE) in Greater Victoria, Robert Bettauer has left a mark on the world of sport. In episode five of the Vital Victoria Podcast, Bettauer joins host Lucky Budd to talk about his unique story: emigrating from West Berlin to Canada, his journey to becoming a professional tennis player and playing events like the Davis Cup and Wimbledon, becoming a national coach, covering tennis on national television, and his role developing sport across Canada. They then discuss the role of sports and recreation in Greater Victoria, the upcoming 55+ games and the importance of physical literacy for youth and PISE’s role in the community.
