Elite sport is often framed as an individualistic endeavor — a personal quest for excellence determined by an athlete’s skills, discipline and ambition. While these elements are crucial, long-term success is often shaped by an athlete’s community – by the teammates, coaches and culture that support and encourage a competitor throughout their careers.
In this episode, Trudy Callaghan sits down with gold-medal Olympian, public speaker and Red Seal cook Mark Tewksbury, who shares his thoughts on community, passion, leadership and identity. Through this conversation, Mark details the joys of lifelong learning, the power of openness, and how some of the most important lessons he learned through sport had nothing to do with swimming.
