Manage What You Can Control

In this episode of Come Rain or Shine, Alex Kopacz, Canadian bobsledder and the reigning Olympic co-champion in the twoman bobsleigh event, joins the show to discuss his legendary athletic career.

As a gold medalist and fierce competitor, Alex brings a level head to this interview brimming with marketplace application. Having matured from university shot putter to an international winter game icon, Alex’s message is simple yet inspiring: Manage what you can control.

While chance and luck have their place, what ultimately drives success comes down to effort, commitment, and attitude. Whether your skills are group oriented or individual in nature, accomplishment often starts with composure and focus. You may be fearless, but this should never be an excuse for pride and over-extending yourself.

Alex also talks about constantly learning, new pursuits as a keynote speaker and mechanical engineer, and life after the Olympics.
