## Resource

Welcome back to the SpearFactor Spearfishing podcast. I'm excited to introduce our special guest for episode 58, Nicole Burko, a world-record holder, member of the USA women's spearfishing team, and a talented artist. Nicole was born in Canada and moved to Florida for college, where she pursued her passion for art and discovered her love for spearfishing. Her studies in art have influenced her underwater experiences and her spearfishing experiences has influenced her art as well. As a world record holder in spearfishing and a member of the USA women's spearfishing team, Nicole knows what it takes to compete at the highest level of the sport. She has faced tough competition and challenging conditions, but her experiences with commercial spearfishing I’ve helped her develop some very efficient techniques for competition. In this episode, we'll dive deep into Nicole's journey as a competitive spearfisher, how she balances her passion for art and spearfishing, the training and preparation required to be a member of the USA team, and much more.
