The Serious Steed
The Serious Steed always has sports on the mind. They stick to what works and may not branch out much when it comes to activities off the field. They are serious about the success of their event. Their practical mindset means that team-building and time for rest between sporting events and training will take priority. An agenda from the Serious Steed will likely place a trip to one of our many beautiful beaches at the top of the list. Bring some fun beach toys and sports gear. Let loose and ride the waves on a boogie board. Play catch or frisbee on the sand. Go old school and fly a kite! The Serious Steed loves to include play and relaxation with the events they manage.
