Piloting a Cessna

THAT’S AWSM! is back and flying high with 15-year-old Mohawk RORIHWATOKEN, a teen who loves lacrosse, and former pro hockey goalie DAMIEN KETLO! These two fans of Canada’s two national sports are going to push themselves to the limit and get to know each other better over an intense athletic workout to prep ‘em for the big leagues. But no matter how strong their muscles get, it won’t prepare them for what happens next… piloting a Cessna!

Piloting a Cessna

Ever wished you could fly like a bird? You can when you pilot a Cessna! Cessnas are some of the smallest and safest aircraft around and can help you see the world in a whole new way… just as long as you aren’t afraid of heights!

Damien and Rorih find out if they have what it takes to soar in this episode at College Air Richelieu.

 

Up up and away!

Cool view!

Being a Pro Athlete

Being a pro athlete isn’t easy! It takes dedication, practice and a lot of hard work. A survey of athletes ahead of the London 2012 Olympics discovered that they put in over 10,000 hours of training time over the 4 years leading up to the games. It also found that most athletes began seriously training by age 14, have been training for 11 years, six hours a day, six days a week, and eat about 1.1 million calories per year… that’s almost three Christmas dinners per day! Yum! Time to get training!

Rorih is killing it!

This is what we called "lacrockey."

AWSM Extras!

Learning how to fly a plane takes a certain amount of zen...

Damien is... excited?

Rorih

RORIH is a 15-year-old Mohawk from Kahnawake. He considers his greatest quality to be his sense of humour and is always able to make his friends laugh. He loves playing pranks, and is really good at remembering long numbers. He’s a skilled athlete and loves playing Lacrosse. Some of his favourite celebrities include Lacrosse players like Cody Jamieson, Lyle Thompson, and Miles Thompson! One of his life-long dreams is to be a pro Lacrosse player, and another is to fly a plane. Maybe one of those dreams will come true on this very episode!

Damien Ketlo

DAMIEN KETLO is a former pro hockey goalie. He left his home and his community at age 15 to pursue his dreams… and succeeded! After 11 years of pro hockey, he went back home and built a rec centre in his community… and started a band! Besides hockey, he is also passionate about fitness, and is embarking on a new career in the arts as a singer and songwriter. One of his secret skills is rapping really, really fast… and if he hadn’t made it as a pro hockey player, he would have pursued politics!
