Growing up as gymnast, I loved having a routine to follow and was used to hard criticism and disciplined exercise. So this year I decided that I wanted to go back to that feeling of strength and motivation. I worked harder physically and mentally than I had in years and I’ve never been happier. This journey was emotional for me because I got in touch with who I am as an athlete again. Thank you to my coach for pushing me and making it so fun to struggle. It’s not easy but that’s the fun of it. N
