The Olympics have a way of stirring something in us — the anticipation, the discipline, the glory, the behind-the-scenes stories we rarely see.
And this week, they took me back 20 years.
Back to a season when I worked with Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton. Back to being 20 years old, wildly underqualified, fresh out of a small farm town… and somehow standing in the middle of a World Cup event.
Oh — and saying yes to riding in a bobsled at 90 km/hr.
In this episode, I’m sharing the story:
How I landed a job in Olympic sport with more willingness than experience
What it was like working behind the scenes during a World Cup
The night Vancouver won the Olympic bid (and why I still get chills)
The moment I climbed into a four-person bobsled and screamed my way down the track
And what that bold yes taught me about risk, courage, and trusting God when I wasn’t the one steering
This isn’t just a nostalgia episode.
It’s about saying yes before you feel ready.
If you’ve ever felt underqualified, stretched, or unsure of the next turn in your life — this one’s for you.
Let’s talk bobsleds, boldness, and the kind of yes that turns into a testimony.
