So grateful for all the support! Here is some fun BTS for you to check out!
The best thing I could have done for myself when I was at my lowest brings me to when I was crying, devastated, depressed, and down after not making the Olympics… getting up through the pain, and saying “I’m going to keep going, I trust it’s going to get better. I can do this.”
Opened internationally this year at the Multistars Gold Level meet in Desenzano Del Garda, Italy!🇮🇹
Took 3rd overall in the Heptathlon & won the Hurdles and High Jump!
Back to training camp! 🏃🏼♀️💨🇺🇸
Thank you
@WorldAthletics

My Story: 2022 🥇
What I learned
✨Don't underestimate yourself: it will be your missed opportunity
✨It's okay if things don't go exactly as planned
✨No matter how much you know, there is always more to learn
✨Your year is what you make it
2023 - Get 1% better everyday!
Hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween!! I’m seeing how long I can keep these tattoos on. Tbh I never want to take them off I feel like they fit me. Haha
Let your goals be a journey. Take your time, one step at a time, and watch yourself go further than you knew was possible. As the great Kevin Malone once said, “many small time, make big time”.
I disagree with “control what you can control”. It makes me feel like a failure for not always “being motivated”. Instead, try “let yourself have feelings, do your best, re-evaluate, and if it doesn’t work, try something else. And also, good job, and nice butt. *smack*”
Birthdays have never bothered me. I’m grateful for them. Getting older is gift, and I’d never prefer the alternative, so here’s to so many more years of learning, striving, growing, and aging. I welcome each one gladly ❤️
2022: knowing I’m going to do the Pentathlon, though I said I’d never do one again due to my history of panic attacks during them. But I have been mentally training. And I believe in myself.
In 2019, 2020, and 2021 I had to keep the faith.
In 2022, I am a USA Champion 🥇🇺🇸
If you’re feeling unmotivated.. let yourself feel that way for a bit. It’s okay. Sometimes you need to be bored with being mediocre before to propel you to being great. That sounds harsh. But it works for me every time.
I feel like when I’m just watching Netflix and eating all of my groceries, I can’t think of ONE thing I need to do, and whenever I decide to be productive, I’m so busy that I need to take a nap. And there is no middle.
I won’t pretend that fear doesn’t exist. When I feel it, I literally say to it out loud “I know you’re there... but I’m better than you are”. I’m going to intimidate this fear right out of me 👏
I’m freakin stressed. I’m overwhelmed. I want to get things done, but I can’t because I don’t want to. I feel like a bowl of mashed potatoes that wants to be a salad and I also know that makes no sense. But that’s okay. *deep breath* one step at a time.. it’s going to be okay. 🙏
If you are injured, frustrated, lost, depressed, and not knowing what the hell to do, I promise that if you keep putting one step in front of the other, you will get to where you want to go. ❤️
If I can do it, you can. ✨
Every single day, I really do fight as hard as I can. When you feel like you’re losing, it’s like “Wait why am I trying this hard, to lose?” But then you wake up and you see how strong you are, how amazing you’ve become, and you understand that the best thing you can do is fight.
Coach said “on your own… 300, 200, 100… 300, 200, 100… and do it three times.
I heard “300,200,100,300,200,100… do that 3 times..
The next day we were both in shock.
Starting my reactive time training. Have you ever put your head down during the heat before your race and reacted to the start gun? This drill always makes me so nervous 😂
#trackandfield
Winter 2022: changing my diet, changing my morning routine, adjusting my mental habits and thoughts, and finding the joy in my sport again. This was the most fun I have ever had in training. No ankle pain, no knee pain, just hard work and fun workouts.
Think about where you would be if you would have stuck to that goal you made for yourself 6 months ago.. now think about yourself 6 months from now... go make future you proud 💪
Sometimes when we are away from home, it’s hard to stay motivated to get your training or workout in. What do YOU do to keep up your fitness levels when you’re on holiday?
Try this: for 5 breaths, breathe in for 3 seconds, then take a big extra inhale and let it out. Feel how warm it makes your chest and stomach. Feels nice ❤️
Fall 2021: Crying every day. Sad. Depressed. But I remember laying in bed, counting to three, and promising myself that I would get through this. Deciding to put on shoes and walk outside so I could just get up. Trying to eat something. Saying “I am ok. I’ll get through this”
I hope you know it’s ok if you fell a little short today. There was actually probably something that you did really well. Rested? Laughed at a funny show or meme? Ate and enjoyed something delicious? You are a human being and you are alive. Win. Good job. You’re doing amazing.
Fall 2021 part 2: every day I took action towards feeling better, I did feel better. I ran, did PT, and practiced mental toughness. I kept going, and soon it was time for track practice. Nervous, but willing, I showed up, not even knowing if I was going to actually run this year.
A boy was turning right, looking left, and doing his best to be a good driver. He didn’t realize that I was making a U-turn. I saw and understood, and waited for him to make the turn. He was trying. He didn’t deserve to be honked or yelled at. Humans are allowed to be imperfect.
Today I was nervous..felt like I was at a meet and I hated it. I tried to breathe through it, it didn’t work at all. But I have done so much work on my anxiety, and I thought to myself “ok, nows the time to use your tools.” I found one that worked, and I PBed. What?
#dothework
You know what? I think it’s HILARIOUS that I assume that if I get over a bump, it means I should just never have another tough day in my life. Excuse me? Growth only comes from resistance, you want to improve?
Be grateful for the challenges. They will be what move you most. ❤️
2020: Olympics are postponed. I decided to get ankle surgery. I knew I couldn’t train the way I needed to on the ankle I had. I worked so hard every to get better, stable. I couldn’t run until January 2021, and every day was pain and full of tears, but still full of hope.
Let me tell you a story- 2019: Tore 3 ligaments in my ankle and broke my Talus 5 days before World Championships. I still competed, and placed 12th in the World. I had no time for surgery due to the Olympics being so close and decided to train through it.
Early 2021: mental training, physical training, competing, and still feeling like I had a chance to make the team even under the circumstances. But in the end, falling short. I felt lost, tired, and distraught. It turned into depression, and I found myself in a really dark place.
I just scrolled through my Twitter and was shocked! Shocked at the strength that I showed in such dark times in my life. I kept pushing. I honestly forgot. I thought it was a time that I was weak… but holy smokes! Reflection is so beautiful, isn’t it?
Traveling from SLC has wiped me out. I always hate “taking it easy” I just want to GOOO… but I’m also not going to do myself any favors by pushing something that doesn’t need to be pushed. I’ll get there. We got this ❤️🙌
Take 30 seconds to get back to where you are right now. It’s so easy to get onto auto-pilot, especially when scrolling… take this time to take back your control. You got this.
