Listen to full episode :

Episode 8 of the Future Sport Podcast featured Rosetta Cyr from George Gordon First Nation, who joined us on her birthday! What started out as a fun family game of ‘don’t let the balloon touch the ground’, became a passion and high level skill to Volleyball player Rosie Cyr. She spoke about the challenges she faced mentally and physically in her sports career so far, and all the places she was able to travel being an elite athlete. She talked about her journey to becoming a Team Saskatchewan volleyball player, and her time as a student athlete at the University of Saskatchewan, something she had set her sights on, long before she officially became a Huskie. Rosetta returns to the U of S Huskies women’s volleyball team for her 3rd year, as a Psychology major, showing youth from all over Tuttle Island how far setting goals can get you!

Aside from being an elite level athlete, and winning the female ‘Most Valuable Player’ at the All Nations Volleyball showcase in Toronto, she also dedicates lots of her time to the next generation of athletes. She is a Softball and Volleyball coach in her First Nation community, and chooses to work with the youth to pass on her skills. She gives insight to what athletes should focus on to eventually reach their full potential as a player that’s successful on and off the court.
