But behind the medals was a man wrestling with failure, identity, and mental health.He shares how years of injuries and disappointment nearly broke him, and the night he stood just five steps away from the C-Train tracks in Calgary, asking himself a question that would change everything:Do I want to live today?From that moment came a radical shift. A new understanding of what excellence truly means, and the realization that greatness isn’t about winning; it’s about trust, connection, and purpose.We dive into how champions handle pressure, how to build teams that win through trust (not talent), and how to move through identity shifts when the spotlight fades.
