3-time Canadian champion marathoner, Trevor Hofbauer, joins us on the podcast. He tells us all about his rise to being one of the top Canadian long-distance runner. While initally a basketball lover, he realised, later in his adultehood, his potential for running. So, in 2016, he decided that he wanted to make it to the Olympics. To reach that goal, he focused for 3 full years on this objective, training early in the morning and late at night, on top of his full time job, leaving his social life aside. Trevor gives us an amazing testimony of perseverance and dream quest.

Ali Nullmeyer is a professional skier in the slalom category. Even though she's only 25, Ali already rode the elite athlete rollercoaster, after being severely injured in 2017, coming back in 2019, getting her best World Cup results early 2022, before a disappointing result at the 2022 Olympics. She explains how important it is for her to keep a good sport-life balance and healthy relationship with her sport, as she kept studying across her career, to make sure ski isn't the only thing she can rely on for her future. Ali also talks about the importance to enjoy the small wins, when your only goal is to be the best in the world!

Valeria Tsoy is a snowboarder who competed in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, representing Kazakhstan. Her career and post career are a model of resilience and grit. She went through lots of lows, like the risk of losing her funding one year before the Olympics, to amazing highs, when she achieved country-wide fame and recognition a few weeks later following Olympics-qualifying trials. After disappointing results in Sochi, and due to a lack of support from her federation, Valeria decided to devote herself to helping athletes transition to their new post-career life. She underlines the importance to keep fun and excitement to be able to get good results.
