Working hard has always been a mantra I've used to keep a level head. I think throughout the years I've always been faced with reasons not to. It's ok to face these hurdles, but be prepared if you do fall along the way. Track has been one of those hurdles. Whether it was "looking" fast, not having the right tools to get better, or the lack of support to help me understand myself in congruence with my jumps. At the end of the day, hard work has allowed me to evaluate each hurdle and understand what would get me over them.
Each year I've been better than the previous. I was the kid that barely made States one year to go on to All States the next. At the time I was angry and didn't take the time to full appreciate the situation. Now, that is one of the many memories I feel define me as an athlete. I've done things that have taken my breath away but I hope that others see what I've been able to do. I hope that they too can take their own breaths away.
Inspire to be inspired...
