Ambition is giving everything up for a desired outcome, that may or may not be achieved in the end. Over the past couple of months I have gone through many changes in my life, and at this point it’s unknown what the outcomes will be, and what doors may open or close. So far, everything seems to be working out for me.  One thing I have learned as an athlete is as one travels down the road, it is only natural to encounter obstacles along the way. Through my experiences, when I have had to adapt to certain circumstances, it has only made me a stronger and wiser, individual and athlete.

Last season wrapped up with some decent results that I was proud of, but to me, more important than my ranking was the knowledge I gained through the process. I am lucky enough to be on an outstanding team with phenomenal coaches, and surrounded by super individuals that are like-minded and focused on achieving their best. Being immersed in such a culture, definitely makes it easier to maintain my drive when things aren’t quite going as planned. At the end of the day, what really counts is the passion that stays with you, despite the struggles, that momentarily build a road block between you and your dreams. Sometimes you won’t make it. And it’s those times when you need to tell yourself that your hard work will pay off. More often than not, everything will work out in the end.

Stay tuned, to follow my journey as an athlete!
