This article needs to get some heavy rewriting, not to mention lack of independent sourcing. The problem is mostly on "Business" and "Media" sections. MarioJump83 ( talk) 12:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
This article requires a reordering of the headings and corresponding content to align with the individual's notareity to make the article valid and accurate. First and foremost, the subject is a tenured professor at a reputable university in Canada. The article correctly (and independently) cites the individual's national (i.e., Top 10 business professor in Canada by Research.com) and international stature (i.e., 47,000+ citations by Google Scholar). Furthermore, the subject has been an academic for over two and a half decades (i.e., his PhD was earned in 1999). This is an important distinction since it conflicts with the article version 00:39, 7 February 2024. That version contains three headings "Playing Career", "Executive Career", and "Personal Life". These headings incorrectly assume the nature of the subject's notareity and should be corrected. The article version 00:39, 7 February 2024 should not lead with "Playing Career" as the individual never played soccer for a national team not did the subject have a prolonged professional career in a top league. Second, the heading "Executive Career" is also mislabelled. The individual has volunteered for several soccer organizations. The section on "Personal Life" is not necessary. The article has been edited and reconfigured to align with the individual's notareity. The new headings are "Academic", "Keynote Speaker", and "Sports Management Executive". These headings correlate directly with the individual's professional career and correspond to the notareity and length of period he was involved (or continues to be involved with) in each area. Any unnecessary content and corresponding references have been removed. All current references are valid and operational. 376baker ( talk) 15:32, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
There are mutliple independent references of the individual having been a keynote speaker for many years. The following six (6) independent links confirm the subject's status as a keynote speaker, in addition to the extant link from Speakers' Spotlight which the article cited (which is also an independent bureau in addition to the organizations below):
