In need of some inspiration today? Check out this podcast with Michelle Sawatzky-Koop. In addition to holding a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance and working as a broadcaster with Golden West Radio, Michelle is the only setter in Canadian history to win anything at the Olympics. In 1996, the Canadian Women’s Volleyball Team qualified for and competed at the Summer Olympic Games. They won one match against Peru, besting them over five sets and Michelle played that match.
This podcast is rooted in a story about an athlete, but it really teaches us about the power of passion, tenacity, love, family, and our will to do our best. There will always be people who tell you what you're doing is impossible, there will always be people who suggest you need to be perfect and there will always be people who tell you that you don’t belong. After listening to this conversation, you will walk away believing that nothing is impossible, that mistakes are essential and that what other people think doesn’t really matter. What matters is your belief in yourself and your faith in your ability to do anything you set your mind to.
Please enjoy this discussion with Michelle Sawatzky-Koop.
