Olympic Funding - "What It Really Costs To Represent Canada" (with Jane Roos)
As Canadians cheer for Olympic glory, few realize the financial reality many athletes face behind the scenes. While the world watches medal moments, countless competitors are working second jobs, fundraising, and relying on community support just to stay in the game.
In this powerful conversation, Mike Wixson and Jim Lang sit down with Jane Roos, founder of CanFund (Canadian Athletes Now), the organization helping thousands of Canadian Olympians and Paralympians afford training, travel, equipment, and competition costs when traditional funding falls short.
From emotional athlete stories to the true price of representing Canada on the world stage, this episode explores: "Why many Olympic athletes struggle financially", "How grassroots donations directly impact performance and opportunity", and "The growing cost of elite sports in Canada".
This is the story behind the medals, and the community helping athletes chase their dreams.
