EP40 - Angela Whyte | Confidence In Your Value

In this episode, I chat with 3x Canadian Olympian, and 100m hurdler/ heptathlete, Angela Whyte. Angela is a 3x Canadian Olympian (2004, 2008, 2016), 5x International Medalist, 2x World Championship finalist, 4x All-American, 5x Big West Champion, and is one of the top Canadian hurdlers of all-time.

Angela was raised in Edmonton, Alberta, and had dreams of playing professional basketball before switching to track and field in high school. She left Alberta after accepting an offer to New Mexico the States, but It wasn't until she transferred to the University of Idaho that her career really started to take off. Her two years at Idaho saw her become a 4x All-American, 5x Big west champion, and 13x school record holder. She made her major Canadian Senior team debut at the IAAF World Championships in Edmonton and has since been to 3 Olympic Games, multiple world championships, commonwealth, and Pan-American games. Currently, she holds a Master's degree from the University of Idaho and is training to represent Canada at what would be her 4th Olympics at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. 

In this episode, we chat about, Taking risks, having confidence in yourself, finding value in what you do, her Olympic experiences, getting through doubt, the gift and curse of experience, overcoming struggles, and the one big lesson she’s learned over her career so far!
