From Resilience to Rowing with Ella Greenslade

@ella_greenslade is our very special guest this week on, ‘Let’s Talk The Untalked’. We were super excited to chat with her while she wraps her head around the fact that she is an Olympic medalist in MIQ!! Ella rowed and went to school at St Margaret’s and continued her rowing journey outside of school to reach where she is today. She speaks with us about her Olympic journey, how she used resilience to overcome setbacks and what it means to be a top level athlete. Many messages Ella gives about resilience can be translated into everyday life and speaks importantly how mental health does not discriminate. 

Ella’s favourite quote is, “We choose to do these things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept" John .F Kennedy. This sums up her words on how her motivation for challenging days was always wanting to push and be the best version of herself.
