Marnie McBean

Marnie McBean, BA'97, LLD'03 is one of Canada's most decorated Olympians, and an expert in turning potential into performance. As one of only two Canadians to win three Gold medals in the Summer Olympics, she is used to performing under pressure. Her 12 World and Olympic medals bear witness to this. After a record-breaking rowing career, the Canadian Olympic Committee has hired her as a Specialist in Olympic Athlete Preparation and Mentoring. She has worked closely with the last 3 Olympic teams, including the very successful Vancouver 2010 Olympic Team and is now involved with the summer athletes who are focusing on the 2012 London Games. She works with athletes to prepare them emotionally and psychologically, helping to transform their potential into reality. Her job, simply, is to ensure the highest performance possible.

A member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame and the Guinness Book of World Records, and a Recipient of the Governor General's Medal, McBean, concurrent to her Olympic career, also managed to finish a degree in Kinesiology from The University of Western Ontario.
