Alysia (aka Rizz) is a pilot for the Canadian women\u2019s bobsleigh team and a 2018 Olympian. She grew up in Edmonton playing every sport imaginable and attended the University of Alberta on both a Track and Field and Basketball scholarship where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Alysia moved to Calgary at the end of 2012 to pursue bobsledding for team Alberta, spending one year as a brakeman before learning how to drive the sled. She has been with the national team since 2016 and was the first woman to ever pilot a 4-man sled with a crew of all women in an International race. When Alysia isn\u2019t racing her bobsled around the world she\u2019s watching sports, petting dogs, and spending as much time as possible outside.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tI wanted to align myself with KidSport because I know first hand how important it is for kids to play sports as they grow up. I believe sport can be one of the best ways to develop real life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience.\n\t<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":828,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[16],"class_list":["post-826","news_stories","type-news_stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ambassador"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTeam KidSport: Alysia Rissling - Calgary & Area<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/kidsportcanada.ca\/alberta\/calgary\/news-stories\/team-kidsport-alysia-rissling\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Team KidSport: Alysia Rissling - Calgary & Area\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Alysia (aka Rizz) is a pilot for the Canadian women\u2019s bobsleigh team and a 2018 Olympian.
