Emily and I are so happy to share the latest happenings with you through the podcast.
The episode starts out with her new intro music which I love.
It reminds me of the start of ski races I’ve seen on TV during the Olympics and Paralympics.
I can just picture Emily flying down the hill with a big smile on her face headed towards that first gold medal.
Then she recaps the podcast and shares the teamstarfish.ca website.
Then about 7:00 minutes in she gets to the good stuff.
She explains how moving from Ontario to Vancouver brought her to the attention of Canadian Alpine Snowboarding.
She talks about how this has lead to new opportunities including training with coaches from Team Canada.
She then explained that these coaches didn’t join her right away due to the fact that Emily is working with a new team of guides of her own.
The Team Canada coach would join them after they had worked together fora few weeks.
Knowing the new coach was coming made Emily nervous, but she explains how that is a good thing.
As she tells the story you can feel the variety of emotions in her voice. Which shows just how much she wants to succeed.
She talks about having to have multiple game plans to deal with a variety of snow conditions and levels of visibility.
She shared about how having the additional coaches could look at their methods objectively and make suggestions if necessary.
The new race coach told Emily that he was really impressed with the way she rides down the mountain. And that obviously made her happy.
She talks about discovering the coach was local and how that would lead to more opportunities to learn.
And then she talked about how many opportunities for snowboarding, training, racing, etc in the Vancouver area.
Which is a validation of what she thought when deciding to move cross country in the first place.
She teased some big announcements. And just like Emily I can’t wait until we are able to share the great exciting news with you.
That’s it for today’s episode of SFG.
