This weeks episode is slightly different as we took a step back from having a guest on and reflected back on the podcast since its launch. We can't say thank you enough to all of our listeners ands supporters for following us on this journey! We also talk about things going on right now with training, hobbies, and of course the summer Olympics! We hope you enjoy this shorter episode this week, and we want to hear from you listeners about who you'd like us to interview, and what questions you want us to answer.

This week's guest is the 2020 Canadian Champion and we dive right into the process of keeping the longevity of being at the top for such a long time in our sport. Roman Sadovsky is now one of the tallest competitors in the world, and those that have known him from a younger age he was by far the shortest. He shares with us how he was able to overcome those growth spurts and body changes to be able to keep pushing to be his best and keep his big picture goals in mind. Roman and has roomed with both Mike and Trennt at many events across the world, so you really can feel the friendship, and comical stories they have to tell. We hope you enjoy this fun episode as much as we did!

In this episode, Mike and I dive into the world of osteopathy as well as strength and conditioning with Patrick Magee. Pat has been practicing osteopathy for 9 years and strength and conditioning for 14. He worked with McGill hockey as well as the Montreal Canadiens organization until he began his private practice. Pat is an integral part of so many athlete’s teams and continues to learn and improve to help his clients do the same. We discuss what exactly osteopathy is, as well as the benefits that it can have, and how Pat got into the profession. We learn how his work in the two fields can complement each other to assist in creating the well balanced athlete. This episode is full of knowledge and we’re super excited for you Ice Lab enthusiasts to hear it!

This episode, Mike and I were so grateful to be joined by the incredible innovator, advocate, and hugely positive influence in the skating world, Elladj Baldé. Elladj’s technical ability mixed with his entertaining showmanship made him a successful competitive figure skater for Canada. Since his retirement from amateur sport, he has become a social media icon, using his voice and platform to promote inclusion in our sport. We get into a deep conversation about the steps we can take to help be a part of that change. We also catch up with Elladj about his viral explosion and what life has been like post competition. It’s always a pleasure and an insightful conversation with Elladj; we hope you find light in it and enjoy it as much as we did.

His clinic takes a special interest in concussion testing and treatment, making them pivotal to the rehabilitation and recovery of people through all sports and walks of life. We dive into conversation about that, as well as the differences he sees in patients from varying sports, and some of the things we can do from day to day to stay healthy.
