Debbie Muir
Debbie Muir is one of the most successful coaches of all time, recognized for leading the Canadian National Synchronized Swimming Team to four Olympic medals plus seven world championships. Her remarkable ability to help others achieve their full potential is why the Canadian Olympic Committee chose Muir to be its mentor coach for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, as well as during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Muir was also originally recruited to start 'Own the Podium', an initiative that helped to make funding possible for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic athletes.
Muir’s contribution to top athletes and coaches around the world in synchronized swimming, and the world of sports in general, is a testament to her dedication to excellence. Her achievements in coaching led to inductions into both National and International Hall of Fame’s in sport, and as a previous provincial "Coach of the Decade."
Her coaching ability also extends to multiple sports. Canadian swimmer Mark Tewksbury asked her to help improve his weak points prior to competing in the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. Proud Canadians know the rest of the story: Tewksbury won a gold medal in the 100-meter backstroke and also set a new Canadian record.
Today, Muir continues applying her coaching techniques outside of sport. In addition to working behind the scenes with Road to Excellence, the Canadian Olympic Committee, and Sport Canada, she and Tewksbury are partners in Great Traits, Inc., a consulting company that inspires possibility and excellence. The pair recently co-authored their first book, The Great Traits of Champions: Fundamentals for Achievers, Leaders and Legacy Leavers.
Debbie Muir’s greatest strength is connecting with individuals and assisting them in being their best. She believes everyone has the capacity to be great and the capability to reach extraordinary goals with the right coaching. Give her an opportunity to show how you can achieve greatness through drive, determination, and persistence.
