Last show of the week and it comes on a day where Canadian sports history was made.  The Pat Down looks at the incredible accomplishment of the Canadian women’s soccer team, and gives a tip of the cap to Deanne Rose whose goal extended the penalty shootout which Canada eventually prevailed to win.  Former Canadian national team player and current assistant coach with England’s national team Rhian Wilkinson joins next and tells us how all the grassroots programs across Canada can take a piece of the gold medal win for the Canada’s women’s soccer team, why she’s so proud of Christine Sinclair, how Canada can grow the women’s game, and why the Canadian women’s team has one of the best cultures in all of the world. BC Lions radio colour analyst Giulio Caravatta follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter, and tells us about all the new additions the Leos have on the roster this year, why he thinks that Canadian quarterback Nathan Rourke will be successful in the CFL, and what is on the menu in the Riders press box.  The Price is Right reflects on Canada’s basketball programs falling behind other sports when it comes to representing on the worlds biggest stages.  The newest addition to the Whitecaps Ryan Gauld joins next and explains how impressed he’s been with the ‘Caps training facilities, where his fitness is at right now, how he’s handling the expectations, what he knows about the MLS, and how he’s going to adapt to playing in North America. Another former Canadian national women’s soccer team player follows, as Sasha Andrews tells us how she and her former teammates all feel like they have a piece of that gold medal win, and why she feels that Christine Sinclair is the greatest of all-time. The boys play Hot Take for one last time this week. The show wraps with all the Errors &amp; Omissions.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

August 6 2021 - Rhian Wilkinson (Canada Soccer U20 Head Coach), Giulio Caravatta (BC Lions Colour Analyst), Ryan Gauld (Vancouver Whitecaps FC Midfielder), Sasha Andrews (Former Canada National Soccer Team)

“Beast-Mode” is a phrase to describe someone that athletically “gets after it” every time they get the ball in a practice or a game. Well, there’s no one I know that epitomizes that more than my son’s soccer coach, Sasha Andrews. She’s played world-class level soccer globally for over 15 years, and by the forces of luck and nature for me, my son, and the other kids she coaches, has settled here in Los Angeles. When you see a photograph of her on or off the field, you also immediately know why the phrase Beauty and the Beast couldn’t be more apropos. A member of the Canadian national soccer team for over thirteen years, Sasha has as much experience in world-class women's soccer — between national games, the World Cup, and the Olympics — as almost anyone else in the world. She’s been a defender her entire career and is nicknamed the “Gentle Giant.” Sasha was the middle child of seven, and her siblings were all brothers. She quickly learned to play hard just to keep up. It’s no wonder she eventually became a dominating professional athlete. In her own words, “I didn’t even know I was a girl for the longest time.” As a teenager, she ranked nationally in both basketball and soccer, eventually having to make a choice between the two — a tough decision for a teenager. At nineteen, she made her debut for the Canadian National Team. She continues to play professionally today for the Santa Clarita Blue Heat, but most of her time is spent working with kids. She coaches a boys U10 and U12 club team, and teaches elementary and middle school PE. In this episode we talk about:  Growing up as an athlete - family, pressures, time, schedule, homework, brothers The devastating loss of one of her brothers at age 34 Life as a professional athlete Competing for a spot and staying on the Canadian National Team for thirteen years The 24 hours before a big game - physical and mental preparation What it’s like to collide full-on with Abby Wambach “Legs up” the day before a game Superstitions and habits Providing feedback and supporting teammates - on and off the field Friendships, relationships, and connection with others  Enjoy!
