Richmond volleyball player Spencer Thompson has been training hard for his first BC Summer Games in Cowichan this weekend. "And," says his little sis, "he ate less junk food!"
Thompson says that he mentally prepares himself for games by listening to "Logic" during warm up.
This Zone 5 (Vancouver Coastal) athlete has been inspired by Brent Hayden, the BC Games alumni who went on to win a bronze medal in the 100m free style swim at the 2012 London Olympics. Thompson enjoyed hearing Brent at the Opening Ceremonies and hopes his experience with the BC Games will lead him to the Olympics as well.
Thompson’s highlight of the Games so far has been his team's second game, in which they were down by seven points in the second set but worked really hard to turn it around and win by two points with a score of 25/22!
