Today, hear the story of Anicka Newell, member of team Canada in Pole Vault. A great gymnast when she was young, Anicka suffered a pretty bad back injury, which forced her away from the sport. Then, in high school, Anicka was thrown on a pole vault runway, and learnt how to use a pole bwith a soccer coach.. This was obviously not love at first sight with this discipline, but the adrenaline of the jump made Anicka feel like she was flying; and since then, she hasn't looked back, climbing the worl...

On today's episode, Regan Yee, Track and Field athlete specializing in the 3000m Steeplechase, explains how she reached the world's top level in long distance running. By simply "forgetting" how much training can hurt, and also forgetting about bad results and failures, Regan is able to only focus on the bright side of things, to keep her motivation at the top.

When he missed the qualification and no spot was open for Canada, his whole dream fell apart. Today, I don't speak to the "diva", as Bryden calls himself from his Instagram persona, but I talk to a poised and thoughtful 23 years old guy who's reflecting deep on what's next for him. T...

In this episode, I talk to Kevin Drury, who competes in Ski Cross. An alpine skier until he was 26, Kevin felt he wouldn't be able to make it to the Olympics; so he decided to switch to Ski cross in 2014. Even if alpine and ski cross are very different sports, one fighting against the clock, the other fighting against opponents on the slope, it took Kevin only 4 years to qualify for the 2018 Olympics, where he finished 4th. Today, Kevin is still not fully recovered from a knee injury that happen...

Today, you'll hear one of the most amazing athlete journey you can think of, with Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi, defensive lineman for the Washington Commanders in the NFL. Born and raised in Nigeria, where football was absolutely unknown, Haggai discovered this sport and the NFL with a Youtube video in 2019. And in 2022, only 3 years later, he signed his first NFL contract; I couldn't believe it! But then he got into the details, explaining how he made that happen. Pretty simple in theory: trust the p...
