TYSUN TALLMAN Oki Niksaowaiiksi, nitaaniko Itopumpstima Nisto Kainai. Hello my name is Tysun Tallman and my Blackfoot name is Offers Pipe Across the Water.

Tysun Tallman received his name from his uncle Mike Bruised Head PhD, who was part of an historic 1980 trip to England, where across the Atlantic Ocean he was the first to offer the pipe to the elders.

Tysun started his sports career while in elementary school where he had a hard time relating and fitting in with others. He played sports initially to fit in with his peers and realized he still stood out, but on his terms! He began playing every competitive sport he could afford to continue defining himself through fitness and eventually coaching, where he could apply his knowledge in a way that could help others.

Tysun finds magic in movement and challenging himself physically but also in learning more about how movement and exercise can save people. He developed a deep passion for training and competition where he chose to broaden his approach provincially on cultural and wellness programs and through his university experience: Public Health Policy, Health Sciences, Kinesiology and Physical Education.

As Tysun continues to learn and share his passion for sport and community wellness he is honoured to help others on their wellness path.
