My Life
I have been a personal trainer in Vancouver for 12 years now and own my own company called, "Pottie Training," feel free to laugh. I have a beautiful fiance and a 3 year old son that keep my life very fulfilled. I try to stay active as much as I can, when I'm not recovering from emergency knee surgery.
Favourite Quote
"100% of the shots you don't take won't go in" I applied this to my basketball game but I think it can be a universal philosophy.
Favourite Moment with Team Canada
When they qualified for the Olympics. This answer will save me from having to change it in the very near future.
Advice for aspiring athletes...
Every time you think about quitting, ask why. If it's just because, "it"s hard" you better keep going.
