Day 25: Guest speaker

Thanks for the invite from the Interact Club to listen to guest speaker Alexa Loo.

This local Richmond, BC Winter Olympian competed in the 2006 and 2010 Olympics in snowboard racing.
Inspirational talk about all of the steps it took to realize her dream of becoming an Olympian.
Her road started in 1995 to try and make the Olympic team.

What was involved in training for the Olympics?  The difficulties of finding a sponsor.  Eventually lobbying for more money from the Federal Government to support Canadian athletes.

Being an Olympian is about inspiring others to dream/train to become an Olympian or to do something "big".  Laying "train tracks" for the next generation.

Keeping a positive mindset.  Keeping in mind the entire journey and the fact that she made the Olympics.

DID YOU DO YOUR BEST ON THAT DAY?

Maintaining focus.
Having belief in yourself.
Being accountable.
Having a goal.
Are you showing up everyday with that "attitude?"
