The TAO of Sport with Duff Gibson
Show Notes

This EP features Duff Gibson. In 1989, having completed his undergrad at Western, Duff Gibson moved to Calgary to earn his master’s degree in kinesiology at the University of Calgary and begin a twenty-five-year journey in high-performance sport.  As an athlete, Duff was a provincial champion speed skater, a national champion and national team member in bobsleigh, and then a world and Olympic gold medallist in the sport of skeleton. Duff was also named Canada’s male athlete of the year for 2006.  In his four years as the national team head coach, Duff led six different athletes to the podium at a World Cup or World Championship level and considers the work they did on mindset and collaboration as being the key to their success. Having moved on from coaching after the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Duff launched Dark Horse Athletic in early 2016. Dark Horse is about developing physical literacy, a growth mindset, and, above all, inspiring kids to participate for the love of the sport. Most recently he published his book the TAO of Sport.  Duff lives with his wife and two sons and is a captain with the Calgary Fire Department.  darkhorseathletic.ca
