About this episode
Sofie Nicholson shares her experiences from student-teaching and competing in taekwondo, discussing how these have influenced her journey into education.
Sofie Nicholson is in her final days of her student-teaching practicum at Delview, and she brings some incredible stories to this episode. She competed in the University Games - an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience where she was one of only a select few athletes chosen to represent Canada in taekwondo. Sofie joins Mr. Yuill and me to dive into how the sport has shaped her, how it’s pushed her, and what it means to now be coaching the next generation. We also get into how all of these experiences inspired her path into teaching and what she’s learned along the way. We’ll miss having her around, but we can’t wait to welcome her back as a colleague soon!
