Avalon Wasteneys - Rowing for Olympic Gold

In this magical prelude to the Paris Olympics episode of Chatter That Matters, I sit down with the inspirational Avalon Wasteneys, a Canadian Olympic Gold Medallist and a powerhouse in the rowing world. Avalon shares her incredible journey, from being raised in a family of world-renowned athletes to what it took to be part of a team that won Olympic Gold. From her early days as a competitive cross-country skier to putting her oar into water, Avalon’s path is marked by resilience, passion, and unwavering self-belief.
Avalon shares how she navigated ADHD, anxiety, and severe health issues like mono and chronic bronchitis to chase her dream. My favourite quote is: '
'My 'why' isn't about being the best in the world but discovering what's possible and becoming the best version of myself.'
You will also hear from another Canadian phenom, Sam Effah, a two-time Canadian 100m Champion - turned brand marketer at RBC. Sam discusses what RBC is doing with the RBC Training Ground to help Canadian athletes pursue their dreams.
It's a fantastic episode to share with your entire family.
