Every athlete deserves someone in their corner. And some journeys deserve to be seen.

Support has never been a side note in my life — it’s been the foundation of it. Long before Mileage Game became a website, it was a belief: that growth happens faster when someone believes in you, walks with you, and holds space for the process — not just the podium.

That belief is what drives my coaching, my writing, my training, and the community that forms around this space.

It’s also why I’m proud to support Alison Mackie — a relentless, focused athlete from Edmonton and a proud member of the Edmonton Nordic Ski Club. She carries the same quiet grit I’ve leaned on for decades, and the same unshakable belief that excellence is built in the unseen hours.

Edmonton Nordic is where my coaching journey began. Supporting Alison’s path is more than a sponsorship — it’s a full-circle moment. A way of honouring where I came from while investing in where the sport is going.

Because the Mileage Game isn’t just about my miles.
 It’s about the next ones too.
