#64 - 🏃‍♀️‍➡️ Anicka Newell | 🏆 "I know I have 4.90m in me”

Today, hear the story of Anicka Newell, member of team Canada in Pole Vault. A great gymnast when she was young, Anicka suffered a pretty bad back injury, which forced her away from the sport. Then, in high school, Anicka was thrown on a pole vault runway, and learnt how to use a pole bwith a soccer coach.. This was obviously not love at first sight with this discipline, but the adrenaline of the jump made Anicka feel like she was flying; and since then, she hasn't looked back, climbing the world rankings, to end up making it to 3 consecutive Olympics. Today, Anicka reflects on what she still has in her to keep pushing forward, and also remembers about the ealy days with sparks in her eyes… Follow Anicka on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flygirl93/ [https://www.instagram.com/flygirl93/] Follow the podcast on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unfiltered.athletes/ [https://www.instagram.com/unfiltered.athletes/] LinkedIn (podcast): https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfiltered-athletes/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfiltered-athletes/] LinkedIn (Léo): https://www.linkedin.com/in/leo-bouisson/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/leo-bouisson/] Hosted on Ausha.
