At the moment of the recording, this summer, Hergy played for the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL, the Canadian Football League. Since then, he was transferred to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. We go in depth about the life and struggle of elite football players, and we discuss the importance of keeping high hopes and a solid mental, in a sport where you don't control everything about your performance. Even if Hergy still has many more years to go, it is impressive to witness the wisdom he has already acquired, and I'm convinced this will lead him to amazing heights.

James Piccoli is a pro cyclist, who started competing late, around 20, when he wanted to test the objects he was building for school projects, while studying Mechanical Engineering at Concordia University, in Montreal. And even then, once he became a pro, it took him more than 4 years to find what he considered to be "success", and get a decent pro cyclist contract. James is the perfect exemple of athlete resilience, passion and grit, to make his way through the ups and downs of his journey.

Some of you might know Shady El Nahas from the TV show L'Ile de l'Amour, but most would know him for his offensive and relentless attitude on the tatami. Shady was born in Egypt and started judo for self-defense after suffering from bullying at school. He climbed the world ranking at a crazy speed, staying world #2 for more than 2 years in the 100kg category. Shady is not hiding: he knows he has to keep his mental at the top to reach his biggest goal: the gold medal, next year at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Une fois n'est pas coutume, dans cet épisode en francais, je rencontre Sasha Laoun au café Le Club, pour une discussion des plus intéressante. Tout d'abord, un grand merci au Club de m'accueillir pour l'enregistrement de cette épisode!

Sasha est une golfeuse Québécoise, membre des Carabins de l'Université de Montréal, et également de l'équipe Canadienne de golf pour sourds et malentendants. Née avec une malformation du diaphragme qui a requis des sérieuses opérations pour assurer sa survie, Sasha a perdu une partie de son audition à cause de certains médicaments administrés lors de cette procédure. Bien qu'encore très jeune, Sasha a déjà une grande expérience de la vie, du sport, et plus particulièrement du golf à haut niveau
