This time Emily takes inspiration from two Canadian holidays to give thanks for the many amazing coaches who have been part of her journey and who continue to help her chase her dream of paralympic gold. First, Canada hosts a coaches appreciation week the third week of September to encourage athletes of all ages and abilities to show their gratitude to the impact their coaches have had on their lives. And then last week Canada celebrated it's thanksgiving holiday. I've always been impressed with how quickly Emily is to show gratitude to everyone who comes into her life and has an effect on her. While listening to all the names and their various fields of expertise, I was reminded just how much work goes into developing a serious athlete like Emily. She also talked about this being the anniversary of her joining the Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports Blue Streak race team. https://vass.ca/race-program She talks about last year and how they managed with Covid restrictions. She shares her hopes and aspirations for the upcoming season. And I can't wait to hear of her future adventures. I appreciate the opportunity to help Emily share her story. I do hope you will rate, review, and share this episode with your friends and family.
