I watched a news report tonight and it said, and showed, Google Street View using a snowmobile to show what the slopes are like in Whistler for the Olympics. You can actually do a ski run, see a turn as an Olympic skier does and much more. Very exciting!

You can also see the view from above, see the ski runs and so much more. Check it out here.

My client, Susie Hastings, and I have worked together for 5 years now. She has proudly told me about her son’s Chris & Jeff Hastings (ski jumping). I was thrilled to learn they are both in Whistler covering the Men’s ski jumps What a proud Mum!

Susie, as a Coach, refers to her Olympic connection:

We all know that an

Olympic athlete flourishes under the keen eye of a coach – they discover the potential of the athlete, build on their strengths, celebrate victories, lift spirits when the athletes are discouraged, they guide, cheerlead, provide mentorship and on the occasion a good morning wake up call. They believe in the athlete – even when the athlete doesn’t believe in themselves. As a mother of two Olympians, Susan applauds coaches, be it sports or life in general.
