Canada Open: Elevation Is Going International

A big step for our athletes—and for Elevation

Elevation by Infinity is officially going international.

This season, our athletes are headed to the Canada Open, and it’s more than just another tournament. It’s a milestone moment for our team, our supporters, and the athletes

we’re committed to developing through Olympic-style taekwondo.

Why international competition matters

Local and national events build strong competitors—but international travel accelerates development in a different way.

When athletes compete internationally, they gain:

• Higher-level exposure to diverse styles, strategies, and pacing

• Pressure-tested confidence from stepping into unfamiliar environments

• Adaptability—learning to perform despite travel fatigue, new venues, and new routines

• Perspective—seeing what’s possible when they measure themselves against the best

For young athletes, these experiences shape more than performance. They build maturity, resilience, and leadership—traits that carry into school, family life, and future careers.

The work you don’t always see

International opportunities don’t happen by accident.

Our athletes have been putting in the kind of work that doesn’t always show up in a highlight reel:

• Early mornings and late nights balancing school and training

• Extra rounds, extra drills, extra conditioning

• Film review, mindset work, and learning how to stay composed under pressure

• Choosing discipline when it would be easier to coast

They’ve earned this moment through consistency.

How Elevation is getting the team ready

At Elevation, everything we do is athlete-first. That means preparing our team for Canada Open isn’t just about “getting in shape”—it’s about developing complete competitors.

We’ve been supporting the team through:

• High-performance coaching focused on Olympic-style sparring strategy

• Structured accountability that reinforces consistency and growth

• Holistic development support—from mentorship to academic expectations

• Resources that remove barriers, so talent and work ethic can lead the way

We’re building athletes who can compete anywhere—because they’re trained to handle anything.

Help us take young athletes to the world stage

International travel is a powerful development tool—but it comes with real costs: flights, lodging, registration, transportation, and the support needed to keep athletes healthy and prepared.

If you believe young athletes deserve opportunities beyond their zip code, we’d love your support.
