The Inspire video series features several amazing Canadian athletes from different sports and backgrounds, and of different ages and genders.

Our team at Mobile Health Network (MHN) has the privilege of working with these inspiring individuals, and we want to share their stories. We think you’ll be amazed by what they do each day in their quest to be the best they can be, and by their love for sport and how they inspire others.

​

Most people are aware that elite athletes focus a lot of their time on training, eating right, and getting proper rest and recovery. Injury treatment and prevention is also a big part of a top athlete’s training plan, and it’s important to have a trusted team of health and rehabilitation professionals to rely upon. High-performance athletes such as Olympian Kyle Jones get regular “tune-ups” from their rehab team – much like the way Formula One drivers have a pit crew.

​

We’re proud to support Kyle and other athletes as they pursue and achieve their goals. We hope the Inspire series will motivate others to dream and pursue more in all aspects of their lives, whether in sport, health, or a chosen career path.

Ben White

Ironman Triathlete

This is Ben. Several years ago, Ben was a thirtysomething professional who had “let himself go.” He had been a serious athlete in his younger days and played a number of sports. Post-university, work and life got busy, those active days began slipping away, and suddenly Ben found himself overweight and out of shape. One day, while watching television, Ben found himself inspired by an Ironman competition. Through determination, hard work and the support of a dedicated team, he started training again and reached his goal of completing an Ironman race. He hopes his story will inspire others like him to follow a similar path back to health and fitness.
