Former slalom skier Lake Korte-Moore is now a first-round Roughriders draft pick, trying to make an impression at rookie camp.
“All I remember is the last time I was on this field, I was crying, because it was my last game with UBC. It’s a more friendly environment now that I’m on this side.”
“A lot of lower-body power. A lot of things like that have helped me,” he said. “I make a quick transition from outside foot to outside foot, and my edges, getting around the corner … things like that have been helped, big-time, by skiing. Nothing upper-body-wise, since you don’t use your upper body very much in skiing, but definitely a lot of my lower body has benefitted from skiing at a young age.
Korte-Moore had a “this is pretty cool” moment Wednesday, when he pulled on a Roughriders helmet before practice. He’s long wanted to play professional football, and now here he is — as a first-round draft pick, besides.Article content
