Canada’s rugby sevens team made it to the quarter-final, but for now, Lucas Hammond focuses on another goal line
Lucas Hammond of Team Canada runs with the ball during the Men's Pool B Rugby Sevens match between Canada and Japan on day four of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.When an athlete reaches their shelf life due to injury or age, a career in real estate is often a sustainable fit, and because so many of their peers are already working in the industry, it’s already a supportive environment.where he played in his first Olympics.
Juggling rugby with the job could have been more challenging if his realtor teammate wasn’t also an athlete. He had joined former football player Alex Carroll’s Carroll Group, which works with Engel & Völkers Vancouver Island. Mr. Carroll, who is 29, got started in real estate after that career-ending injury, four years ago. Unlike Mr. Hammond, Mr. Carroll’s sports career ended abruptly, which he thinks might be an easier transition.
“I will be curious to see how Lucas approaches that same thing because he’s been doing both for the better part of a year now, and continuing to pursue rugby, while beginning his new career in real estate. It’s a softer transition for him.” As part of a sports-loving family, Mr. Hammond started playing rugby at age 7, in South Africa, where his parents worked as missionaries. He’d play barefoot, and he loved it. They returned to Toronto when he was 12 years old, and he continued to play for a local club.
