and coached Half Pipe competitors making their
way to the Olympic. A tragic accident happened
when demonstrating something he had done many
times over, however, he ended up breaking his neck
and was paralyzed for several days.
These days Mike can't coach in the same manner he
did back in December 2013. He is able to ski again
but has to take it easy so another accident like that
can't happen. He does coach in a different manner
these days. The coaching has to do with mental
toughness where you less likely get injured. Whether
it was like his accident in 2013 or something less
severe.
Mike is a inspirational speaker as well. He not only
will talk about his accident but talk about how we
should be grateful for everything we have. This is
from a man who almost lost everything. We can be
discouraged by our circumstances, but we should be
grateful for what do have.
Now Mike Shaw has a life purpose greater than he
expected though a lot different than he had inspired
before.
Why I am writing about Mike Shaw is how we can
inspired, coach, and mentor others in whatever field,
gift or talent we have even if we don't have those
talents any longer. Another reason, Mike is the son
of my cousin Rob. He lives back home in Vernon,
British Columbia. I look forward to seeing him
again I hope in 2021 in Vernon.
Thank you Mike for what you to inspire others
especially the youth of Canada.
