Do you have trust and faith in your teammates? A successful teammate is there to support, challenge, and contribute towards the end goal - no matter what it takes.
Today, I’m talking to Canadian Para Alpine Ski Team member Mac Marcoux and his guide, Tristan Rodgers. Mac is a visually impaired four time Paralympic medalist, five time World Champion, and has recently pioneered blind free skiing with Tristan by his side. Together, Mac and Tristan created the short movie, Blind Faith, to document their journey as a visually impaired skier and guide duo attempting three of Whistler Blackcomb’s iconic freeski lines. Mac and Tristan’s relationship is an inspiring reminder that with hard work, trust, and faith, any challenge can be overcome.
As an athlete, it doesn’t matter whether you are in an individual or team sport, it’s important to trust yourself, teammates, coaches and anyone else that is helping you to reach a goal. Building this trust requires communication and support to work together and always have each other’s back.
Tune in and listen to episode six of Unspoken Bravery. Mac, Tristan, and I talk about how they began working together, how they have built a foundation of trust, how they communicate while skiing together, their experience creating the movie Blind Faith, what’s up next for them, and more. It’s incredible to watch Mac and Tristan accomplish so much at an elite level and I am so excited for you to hear their stories.
