This episode discusses "the make or break point" where I transitioned from home and high school to living on my own and studying at university. There was a point where I stopped paddling altogether but how did I end up grabbing the steering wheel again and getting back on track? Listen, follow, share and enjoy!

In this episode I discuss my first taste of victory and how important sports like waka ama can be in the development of rangatahi. The first taste of victory (or loss) in waka ama, can have a profound impact on rangatahi (youth) athletes. Participating in waka ama at a young age can promote tinana (physical) hauora (health), hinengaro (mental health), and whakapapa (cultural awareness) while fostering important life skills such as kotahitanga (teamwork), whakahaere (discipline), and whakaritenga whainga (goal-setting). The sense of accomplishment and pride that comes with achieving a victory in waka ama can be particularly significant for rangatahi, but can also teach how to handle losses . Waka can strengthen their hononga (connection) to their tikanga (culture) and hapori (community). Through waka ama, rangatahi can also whakapau kaha (build strength) and hononga to their whanau (family) and hapori. Overall, the first taste of victory in waka ama can be a significant milestone for rangatahi athletes, providing a sense of whai whakamoemiti, whakapau kaha, and whakawhanaungatanga (connection) while fostering important life skills that can be whakamahi (applied) in all aspects of life.

In this episode, I take a trip down memory lane and share the story of how I was first introduced to the world of paddling. From my earliest memories of paddling in Pawarenga as a child to the fateful day when I first took my first stroke with Ron Tamati, I recount the begging of the lifelong journey. I discuss the impact that my mentors and coaches had on my development as a paddler, and how they helped shape my passion for the sport. Through my personal experiences, I hope to inspire others who are just starting their own paddling journey, and offer practical tips for overcoming the hurdles that come with learning a new skill. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights and a heartfelt story of the joys and challenges of paddling. #TRAINLIKEAKING
