The national contest made its yearly stop at UVic to try and find Canada's next Olympic and national team athletes.
For eight years RBC Training Ground has been travelling Canada in search of aspiring Olympian and national team members between the ages of 14 and 25. The program offers funding for aspiring athletes to achieve their Olympic goals and pairs them with national sporting organizations.
“[It’s] kind of selecting people with a lot of potential and kind of just giving opportunities to people who don’t really get those maybe not in school or whatever team.” “There’s strength which is based off of a mid-thigh pull, speed, which is a sprint and endurance which is a beep test,” says Phillips.“You don’t really get to do this sort of testing all the time because you need the space to do it and I just thought it was really cool how they’re doing this for us,” says event participant Travis Cowan.
