Here’s a link to that interview.
Erica Wiebe breaks down her tough World Championship quarterfinal loss #WrestleNurSultan
Inspired by @ericawiebe’s interview following a surprise loss at the Wrestling Worlds! Clearly devastated, pouring sweat, blood and fighting tears - owns it all, and still finds a way to focus on the future and getting better ahead of the next challenge. Wow. 1/2.

Going to play this for a bunch of Bantam football players on Saturday to demonstrate to them what championship effort and attitudes look like and can bring. @ericawiebe - if you ever want to come out to a Wildcats practice and talk to the boys, we’d be honored to have you. 2/2
For all you young players out there - MOST times, hard work and intensity matches or overcomes pure athletic 'gifts.' @alexsingleton49 is definitely athletically gifted, but when operating in a space where EVERYONE is gifted, its the energy and intensity that sets him apart.
#Eagles highest-graded defensive players from their game against the Titans. 1. LB Alex Singleton 91 2. EDGE Daeshon Hall 90.9 3. LB Zach Brown 76.2 4. S Deiondre Hall 75.8 5. LB TJ Edwards 74.9

Hey @calgarytransit - flashing lights at Sirocco - even when the gates are up. Causes confusion for drivers and pedestrians.

@CBCCalgary This 2013 pic of my 81 year old mother, at the midway at the Stampede. That was the year of the flood - she had come out to try and celebrate my son’s graduation - she saw Calgary at our worst and, just a few weeks later, at our best year during the flood recovery.

That’s my 12 year-old daughter in the background with the ‘What are you DOING?’ look, and my 9 year-old son in the background having the kind of fun only a 9 year-old can have!
Hey @calgarytransit - arms and flashing lights are all screwed up at Sirocco station - probably a safety hazard.

One passenger arm is partly down (or is it partly up?). The lights continue to flash, but no bells. Hard on drivers crossing 17th along Sirocco

A couple of things worth mentioning (IMHO): 1. All these players 'signing' with NFL teams are on futures or prospect contracts - very little guaranteed money, and cuts will happen in March...leaving many of them wanting to return to the CFL.

6. We need to find ways to get casual fans into live games, in stadiums. Season ticket holders, especially the non-corporate RAVING fans that make games fun, are born from repeated single-ticket experiences.

7. The league needs to capitalize on players with personalities as LEAGUE ambassadors, not just their teams. Guys like @6BONECRUSHER3, @IAm_Wilder32, @nikel18, @Mr_Raymond25 and more are 'investment worthy' - letting them row their own boat, instead of the CFL boat, is a miss.

Being a CFL fan today requires more than knowing players' names; you need to understand contracts, immigration rules, salary caps (for players AND coaches), media strategy and..oh yeah...the rules of our awesome game. Sheesh.
