  • Inside Canada’s Para Nordic Team with Head Coach Brian McKeever
    Feb 27 2026

    Momentum is building for Team Canada as the Winter Paralympics approach, and this episode captures that energy from multiple angles. The conversation opens with the official announcement of Canada’s Para Alpine team, highlighting a resilient roster shaped by injury comebacks, Crystal Globe wins, and strong late-season World Cup performances. The discussion focuses on why this group is positioned for early success, especially in speed events like downhill.

    The spotlight then turns to Brian McKeever, now head coach of Canada’s Para Nordic team. Drawing from decades of experience as both athlete and leader, McKeever explains how the team balances veteran leadership with emerging talent. He shares insight into training camp strategy, including a remote altitude camp designed to strengthen chemistry, accountability, and trust ahead of the Games.

    The episode closes with reflections on performance versus podium pressure, why early Paralympic experiences matter for long-term success, and how joy, perspective, and connection remain competitive advantages at the highest level of parasport.
