To build excitement for the Paris Olympics episode, I sit down with the inspirational Avalon Wasteneys, a Canadian Olympic Gold Medallist and a powerhouse in the rowing world. Avalon shares her journey from being raised in a family of world-renowned athletes to what it took to be part of a team that won Olympic Gold. From her early days as a competitive cross-country skier to putting her oar into the water, Avalon's lane is powered by resilience, passion, and unwavering self-belief. Avalon shares how she navigated ADHD, anxiety, and severe health issues like mono and chronic bronchitis to chase her dream.   My favourite quote from Avalon is: 'My 'why' isn't about being the best in the world but discovering what's possible and becoming the best version of myself.' You will also hear from another Canadian phenom, Sam Effah, a two-time Canadian 100m Champion – turned brand marketer at RBC. Sam discusses what RBC is doing with the RBC Training Ground to help Canadian athletes pursue their dreams. It's a fantastic episode to share with your entire family.       To learn more about RBC Training Ground, click here: https://www.rbctrainingground.ca.
