Judi Shum-Mousseau

Judi Shum-Mousseau has dedicated a substantial portion of her life to high performance coaching, officiating, learning facilitation and evaluating coaches for certification. Her 35-year coaching career has produced numerous next level athletes playing for Team Ontario, Team Canada 19U, 21U, universities and colleges across Canada and in the United States. Judi sits on the Board of the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa (BGCO), working to ensure all youth in need receive opportunities that will better their lives.

As a certified insurance professional and risk consultant, she works in a senior client executive role always maintaining a team atmosphere. Judi collaborates with her clients to provide expertise in identifying risk factors both for their physical assets, everyday operations, and in their contracting agreements, which may lead to financial hardships.

Judi is the proud mother of two extraordinary athletes and has a wonderfully supportive and loving husband. Judi is fluent in two languages and manages some French as a third. As an immigrant to Canada at the age of three, Judi never forgets the sacrifices her parents made for her to have a better life. Sports were always a part of her family growing up and supported by her parents and siblings. Judi takes immense pride in watching her alumni athletes compete. Her recent love-hate relationship with golf keeps her patient and humble. She loves family game night and a good laugh with friends.

I have always believed that sport, and particularly the sport of volleyball, could enrich and change a young life for the better. The lessons learned from being in a team atmosphere, reaching a common goal with others, discipline and hard work can provide a multitude of necessary life skills. In so doing, this positive environment can result in future confident leaders in communities everywhere. I am proud to be a part of the MYOF Board in the hopes of providing many opportunities where there may not have been for our youth community.
