Marnie McBean - one of Canada's most decorated
Olympians, and an expert in turning potential into performance.
As one of only two Canadians ever to win three Gold medals in
the Summer Olympics, she is used to performing under pressure. Her
12 World and Olympic medals bear witness to this.
After a record-breaking rowing career, she is now Manager of
Olympic Preparation with the Canadian Olympic Committee. In the
years leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010
Vancouver Olympics, she worked closely with athletes to prepare,
emotionally and psychologically, helping to transform their
potential into reality. Her job, simply, is to ensure the highest
performance possible.

A member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame and the Guinness Book
of World Records, and a recipient of the Governor General's Medal,
McBean, concurrent to her Olympic career, also managed to finish a
degree in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario. She
is also actively involved in helping to promote the safety, health
and activity of Canada's youth as well as many sport and athlete
development groups. |
