After Team Canada’s women’s sitting volleyball victory today I asked Allison Lang about this being so much more than sport And then she answered with 60 seconds of magic I’ll never forget. Here’s 🇨🇦 Allison Lang on what the Paralympics are truly about.

Prince Harry’s acceptance speech for the Patt Tillman Award for Service is worth 5 min of your time. There is no doubt that he is worthy of this award and no doubt that what he is doing is changing lives for the better.

Don’t mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, they’re often busy thinking and learning. Extraverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak. I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine.

Be predictable in always going for the win. Be unpredictable in how you’ll do it. Be predictable in the quality of your preparation. Be unpredictable in the quantity of imagination you bring to it.

Identifying talent is not about knowing what someone has achieved and their strengths today. It is not about what they have done and who they are now. It is about recognising their potential for achieving great performance tomorrow and who they can become
