I have been talking about a couple of athletes who competed for Canada at the Beijing Olympics in whitewater slalom paddling:<\/a><\/p>\n

Sarah Boudens\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Canadian elite athlete’s jobs<\/span> – full time pursuit of their sport – are hard enough. What makes their work harder is the financial constraints they face. Money!<\/strong> They need to be business savvy as well as athletic to ensure they can survive and train.<\/p>\n

I finished a photo shoot with Sarah<\/span>. As I approached my car she was getting ready to leave. I took a photo of Sarah with her car, below. Thanks to Lapointe Brothers Auto Dealer<\/a>! That generosity, I am sure, goes a long way!<\/p>\n

One of Sarah Boudens sponsors!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Also, have a look at Zina Kocher<\/a>‘s video<\/a> supporting her pursuit to the biathlon podium at the 2010 Olympics. Olympic athletes, like photographers, need a good business plan and foresight!<\/p>\n

Thanks Dave McMahon<\/a> for the link to the video.Support the Olympians.It’ll make them smile.<\/p>\n
