We're excited to re-post Erica Wiebe's episode to honor her
recent induction into the University of Calgary Sports Hall of Fame and celebrate her incredible impact as both an athlete and a passionate advocate
for safe sport in Canada.
In this episode, we dive into the profound journey of an
athlete, from the initial spark of passion as a young dreamer to the pinnacle of Olympic glory. Our guest, Olympic Champion Erica Wiebe (she/her) epitomizes the embodiment of resilience and dedication in Canadian sports. With an distinguished career spanning 15 years, Erica has not only clinched an Olympic Gold Medal in Freestyle Wrestling but has also devoted herself to amplifying the untold narratives that often underlie moments of triumph. From her early days training alongside top athletes at the London 2012 Games to her pivotal
role in shaping safe sport training initiatives, Erica's impact extends far beyond the medals and mats. As the Manager of Athlete Relations, Safe Sport, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Canadian Olympic Committee, Erica
continues to champion inclusivity and empowerment. Her extensive experience, coupled with academic achievements including a Queens Cornell Executive MBA and Bachelor's degrees in Kinesiology and Arts (Honors), equips her with a wealth of knowledge and passion. Through our conversation with Erica, we are reminded of the profound message that each day presents an opportunity to shape the
legacy we leave behind, transcending the realm of sports into the broader landscape of life's endeavors.
