This week, we travel to Canada and talk to Canadian Paralympic rower Jacob Wassermann. Jacob was not always a para-athlete. He was once a goalie for the Humboldt Broncos, a Canadian junior "A" ice hockey team from Humboldt, Saskatchewan. In 2018, the Broncos were traveling to a playoff game in Nipawin when the team bus collided with a semi-truck. This incident changed Jacob, the Broncos, and the city of Humboldt forever.   Jacob's recovery journey has been one of incredible resilience and inspiration. Despite the physical and emotional challenges, Jacob found a new path in the sport of rowing. His determination and spirit led him to embrace this new challenge, ultimately earning a spot on the Canadian 2024 Paralympic Rowing Team. In this episode, Jacob shares his story of recovery, the support he received, and how he discovered rowing. From the tragedy that forever changed his life to finding hope and purpose in a new sport, Jacob’s journey is a testament to the power of the human spirit. As always, thank you for your support and it’s a good day to be a Bronco.   Jacob Wassermann Instagram: @maddywassermann @humboldtbroncossjhl  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_Broncos www.humboldtbroncos.com   Every 4 Years Podcast Instagram: @every4yearspodcast Twitter: @every4yearspodcast Facebook: @every4yearspodcast
