Creating Olympians with Olympic Medalist Jason Parker

from Respect The Grind with Stefan Aarnio · host Stefan Aarnio

At age 3, Jason enrolled in his first skating class, and by age 6, he was playing in the youth hockey league. "It didn't take long for everyone to notice – I was one of the fastest skaters on the team, and after seeing my sister come home with handful's of shiny speed skating medals, I was inspired to try the sport myself." Jason finished his first race in grand style; falling four times and finishing dead last – but that didn't stop him – it FUELED his motivation and became an important life lesson (it doesn't matter how many times you fall down, but how many times you get back up)! Jason rapidly improved, and at age 12, he competed in his first Canadian Championships! 20-plus years of training and commitment has rewarded Jason with hundreds of honors and successes. "I raced in 65 World Cups and 10 World Championships – over 130 international races overall." (making Jason one of the most accomplished and experienced speed skaters in Canadian history).
