Best Advice You've Ever Received

To always work hard, despite any setbacks. It’s the only thing you can control.

Being an RBC Athlete means...

The opportunity to give back to young people what sport has taught me and given me. The chance to guide young people in their life choices—a life filled with sports is much more complete and fulfilling (friendships, coaching relationships, travelling around the world, etc.) than a life without sports. It’s also an opportunity to work with people at RBC who care about the success and well-being of athletes.
