Hello again Fight Friends!
On the podcast today - I got a chance to visit Ruff House in Calgary and sit down with one of the rising starts in Canadian Muay Thai Shae Wedderburn, along with former fighter, champion and coach to go along with the title "Dad" - Markhaile Wedderburn!
This was my first time getting to chat with a father/daughter fighter dynamic so I was very curious to know how they navigate that situation. It it clear on this podcast that they have a VERY close relationship to the point they can look at each other and know what each other were thinking. we hear this from fighter and coach just before fight time often, but I gotta believe the Father/Daughter bond during that moment must be INTENSE!
Both Markhaile and Shae tell their story about how they found Muay Thai, Shae lets us in on when the turning point in her career happened and things needed to get serious as a professional. Of course we break down her most recent fights and the buzz surrounding them - Shae is hopeful for the possibility of a rematch for the WBC Canadian title in the not too distant future. AS WELL AS A WMO WORLD TITLE FIGHT THIS WEEKEND! and obviously the top 3 question.
I really enjoyed being in the background a little bit on this one and listen to what's obviously a very strong and unique relationship between Father and Daughter. You can clearly see the strength they carry comes from real belief they have in each other, in both rolls as fighter and family. RESPECT!
SHOUT OUT TO YOU MARKHAILE AND SHAE!!
