Ep. 17 - Susan Sell-Haynes on Athletic Achievement, Sports, and Leadership
Listen now
Description
Susan Sell-Haynes is the Director of Sport at Seoul Foreign School, an institution many regard as Korea’s best primary and secondary school. She has lived in Korea for over eight years, spending most of that time working in athletics.

We talk about navigating  ‘Korean sensibilities’ about education, the benefits of physical activity to childhood development, institutional resources, and the best parts of living in Seoul. You can connect with Susan at [email protected] and Seoul Foreign School at www.seoulforeign.org.   Bios, show notes, and links available at www.settlersofseoul.com
