And I think, like you mentioned, like in our side of the world, there maybe are just sports, like kids haven't been able to be in front of coaches who are like from sports like, you know, bobsled, luge, um, wrestling.

I mean, just like those sports that maybe not everyone has an opportunity to get in front of.

And this program, RBC Training Grounds, puts you like front and center.

You go, you do four tests, um, something for strength, speed, endurance, and power.

And they, you compete against, you know, athletes from all over the country, and the top 100 move on to this, uh, incredible final, and you have the opportunity to get funded and then try out a sport where potentially you could go on to be on the national team and hopefully start your Olympic journey.

The program's had, I think, 28 people over the last 10 years go on to represent Team Canada in the Olympics, which is, uh, pretty phenomenal when you think about the, the odds there.
