C\u2019est le premier sport qu\u2019il pouvait essayer \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole et il savait qu\u2019il avait une bonne endurance en raison des autres sports qu\u2019il pratiquait. Il veut repr\u00e9senter le Canada depuis qu\u2019il a vu Donovan Bailey gagner l\u2019or du 100 m \u00e0 Atlanta 1996. Il se rappelle exactement o\u00f9 il se trouvait et ce qu\u2019il faisait au m\u00eame moment. Au-del\u00e0 de l\u2019athl\u00e9tisme :<\/strong> Il a obtenu son baccalaur\u00e9at en sciences de l \u2019activit\u00e9 physique en 2004 et son baccalaur\u00e9at en enseignement en 2006. Il est dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 St. Francis Xavier. Il n\u2019a pas enseign\u00e9 depuis cinq ans. Il aime passer du temps avec ses deux enfants et pique-niquer au parc. Lors d\u2019une course, il apporte toujours un porte-bonheur bricol\u00e9 par ses enfants dans son sac. Sa devise : Le progr\u00e8s plut\u00f4t que la perfection. En 2e ann\u00e9e, on a d\u00e9couvert qu\u2019il \u00e9tait dyslexique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
