This is by far my absolute best look to date

I feel so proud, happy, & grateful to be ending my season knowing I brought my best every day & ultimately to the stage

I had some regrets about the first couple shows of my season because I knew it wasn’t my best & I needed to be better but in reflecting, I realize those each served a different purpose for me as an athlete

One was about letting go & the other about accepting a new chapter. They both allowed me to bring a better & a best to my final shows

I nailed it up there & I had SO MUCH FUN! I soaked in every moment, even when I was standing on the sides for callouts I felt so happy & present

I think most competitors at this level want to come out on top. When you “lose” or don’t get the placing you wanted it can either light your fire more, put it out, or have no impact at all

I am somewhere between no impact & fire being lit more

I recognize that I’ll live this lifestyle regardless of the stage but the stage does give me lots to look forward to & work toward because I LOVE & respect it

But this is deeper than what is tangible

I want to represent mental health for competitors on that stage. I love the thought of bringing even more of a platform and opportunity to confidently showcase what it means to #BUILDMORETHANJUSTABODY

I love that every competitor who steps on that stage had to overcome something & they’ve fostered courage, strength, patience, persistence, discipline, & other attributes or beliefs to support their journey

It’s a mental game. You’ll face challenges day in & day out, nothing is guaranteed, & only 1 person can be the champ which means more will lose than win

BUT it is in the daily pursuit of the tangible goals such as a physique, title, trophy, opportunity that we become the champion for ourselves

Even when you may not get what you want on the surface level, all the validation you need can be found within you, joy is in the moments you triumphed when you wanted to quit, passion is found in your habits, & even though ‘your time will come’…the time that counts most is now because in each moment you show up for yourself you are winning❤️👑🏆
