I began as younger as you will be as an athlete…
On the age of three, I began snowboarding and each different sport you may put a toddler in there I used to be.
I used to be the one lady rising up in my neighborhood of eight boys together with my brother and we performed each sport conceivable all day.
I bear in mind my father timing my brother and I racing laps round the home.
My purpose was to play basketball in faculty however with accidents and my dream to go to a giant D1 college I made a decision to go to Colorado college and overlook enjoying basketball at knowledgeable stage and put my snowboarding in my entrance seat.
After faculty I turned a ski coach in Vermont the place I used to be the one feminine freestyle skiers.
This led me to being recruited to Woodward Tahoe the place I met my husband who was the BMX professional there.
No shock to anybody, I discovered somebody who beloved sports activities and competing simply as a lot as me.
Competitions and sports activities have at all times been my ardour and a part of my life.
Even now in my mid-30s I’m studying new methods of coaching, discovering new methods to push my physique, and in higher form than I ever thought was potential at my age.
I’m at all times up for a problem whether or not it’s from my husband who tries to get me on a motorbike going off of jumps, somebody saying I gained’t bounce that cliff, or my brother who needs to do a troublesome mudder.
If there’s competitors, I’ll be there.
There’s a particular feeling when a person thinks he can do higher at one thing athletic than you as a result of you’re a feminine, then having the ability to present him up – now that holds a particular place inside me that I’ll by no means not love.
I like a problem and I don’t thoughts failing so long as I do know I’m placing my all into it.
Sports activities and pushing your self is what I’ve identified my complete life.
I don’t know the place I might be with out it- if I needed to describe myself in a single phrase it might be an athlete.
