Start:

He took up athletics at age 13. (olympic.ca, 22 Jun 2016)

Reason:

He competed in several sports at high school but stuck with shot put because he had a natural talent for it. He also enjoyed the individual aspect of the sport. "With team sports, there's a lot of support there right with you. At track, it's more all on you. No matter what other people do, it doesn't really affect you. I've got a lot better with this over the years, but especially in practice, you have a lot more 'down-days' than you do 'up-days'. It takes a lot of mental strength. Because at the end of the day, all that matters is how hard you work." (ottawasportspages.ca, 26 Aug 2020; olympic.ca, 22 Jun 2016)

RETIREMENT THOUGHTS
His first major international competition for Canada was the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Russian Federation. He admitted he considered retirement following the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo until 2021 but he was motivated to continue by the thought that he has not hit his peak yet. "I was feeling very satisfied with trying to make Tokyo and then calling it a career. I think I've had a successful career and I'm kind of ready to move on. That's still a thought. But things are just going so well. Yes, I've been to the Olympics and it'd be nice to go to another one, but it's more like, I know I haven't had 'that' throw. If I'd had it, maybe I would have shut it down. I've been close in the last seven or eight years where I was like, 'There it is!' but I've either fouled it, or it's been in warm-up. I think that's why I'm hanging on. I know there's still a throw in me that I haven't hit yet. I know I can do it. It's not like I'm going down. I know I'm about to hit something big. The toughest part is just waiting another year for it." (ottawasportspages.ca, 26 Aug 2020)
