People in Sport A R S E N S T E B L E T S K Y I

Hello, I am Arsen Stebletskyi. I am a Ukrainian who has moved with my family to Canada to start rebuilding our life.

I started working out when I was 7. I was inspired by my father, who does not know life without sports After 5 years of wrestling in my hometown, I was invited to one of the strongest sections of wrestling in the western part of Ukraine. I was the youngest athlete training there. It was there that I acquired the skills of discipline and worked a lot on my wrestling abilities, and was very hard on myself.

After a difficult situation in Ukraine, my family and I had to move to Canada I am very happy with it. My new coach, Shawn Daye-Finley, has already given me a lot of advice both on and off the mat, and after that I started to enjoy wrestling even more. Every day I improve myself and do not use the word lazy in my life I am working full time for a landscaping company and coach wrestling when I am not training I see a future here through sport.

It’s important for sport to embody equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) to ensure all participants feel welcome, included and have equal access to sport. The People in Sport stories feature individuals in sport representing populations that have generally faced barriers to participation
