KATE VAN BUSKIRK, OLY
Your Body Keeps the Score – Mental Health and the Body’s Response to Stress

I have been a National Team middle-distance runner for more than half my life, representing Canada at over a dozen international Games and Championships. I am a Commonwealth Games medalist, a former Canadian record holder, and Olympian (Tokyo 2020). In addition to my decades on the track, I have also spent the last 2+ years as the Female Athlete Director at Athletics Canada, sitting on the Safe Sport, Governance and National Teams committees. I am also a current member of the Athletics Ontario strategic planning committee.

When I'm not training or racing, I am devoted to helping tell the stories of those in my sport. Since 2018 I have worked as the host, editor and producer of Canadian Running Magazine's podcast "The Shakeout". During this time I learned and honed the skills of an interviewer, as well as self-teaching technical skills such as using recording and editing hardware and software (I am proficient in Adobe Audition). I have also worked for Canada Running Series and Athletics Canada in broadcast roles at events including the Toronto Waterfront Marathon and the Canadian Track and Field Championships.

Nutrition For Performance

Early in my career I developed a passion for the richness that different cultural implications can bring to our eating. I worked in Chile, South America, where I fell in love with the cultural aspect of food. I then gave regular sessions to newcomers through MAGMA to help them continue cultural food traditions locally. I have since acquired contracts that allow me to help preserve beautiful cultures through nutritional guidance that respect traditions. One of these contracts was a 2-year project with the francophone communities of Newfoundland and Labrador, helping discover and address the needs of these communities, while respecting their language and customs.

I have spent over 12 years providing education, training and hands-on support to recreational, competitive, Olympic and professional athletes/teams throughout North America and Europe. I am referred hockey players from the NHL, AHL, CHL by their agencies, particularly Roy Sports Group & 02K Sports Management. I am also the newest dietitian to have joined the Toronto Maple Leafs Sports Nutrition Department. Sports Dietitian for UNB Men's Hockey Team & our National Blind Hockey Team. I have enjoyed working alongside Cycling Canada & Para-Cycling Canada’s national teams, FIFA, and Football Canada, among various other sports at provincial, national and international levels.
