Michael, who has been skiing since he was 5 years old, is entering
his 3rd year as a NTDC athlete. Michael's goals are to qualify to
compete at the Canadian World Cup and the U-23 World Championships.
Along with several of his team mates, Michael will be representing
Ontario as a forerunner for the 2010 Olympics.
A memorable moment in
his racing career to date was winning two silver medals and a bronze
medal at the 2006 Nationals held in Thunder Bay at his home club,
Lappe Nordic. Michael believes and lives by the words of Harvey
MacKay, “A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and
a deadline.” |
