This weeks guest is Maria Alexiadis, an Australian Karate competitor who competes on the international stage. I had a chat with Maria whilst she was in hotel quarantine after returning from the Olympic qualifiers in Paris.
Maria not only competes, but also coaches and is on the Board of Karate Victoria, hoping to make a positive impact on her sport.
In this episode you’ll hear Maria’s journey and the passion and love that she has for her sport. Maria takes us through the benefit sport has provided her as well as the lessons she’s learnt along the way.
Something I really took away from this conversation was that with passion and determination you can really achieve great things, and Maria is such a great example of this.
I’d just like to thank friend of the show, Bruce Hyland, for connecting Maria and I. It was his wonderful guest recommendation that made this episode possible. If you have anyone that you know or would like to hear from then you can send me a message on Facebook or Instagram – and we can make it happen.
