Friends & Family
I’ve missed too much.
Family dinners, birthdays, the nights with friends that matter more than I ever realised.
There have been times I’ve felt I’ve let everyone down and moments where the sacrifice has weighed heavy. But through it all, I’ve come to understand something important: my biggest supporters are always there for me.
Your friends and family are the ones backing you the hardest, celebrating the wins, carrying you through the losses & believing in you - before anyone else did.
My Body & Injuries
My body is changing, and sometimes it feels uncomfortable - growing, adjusting, learning to cope with new rhythms.
Then suddenly - bam - an injury hits. A week, a month, maybe even the whole season on the sidelines. It feels so isolating and sometimes I wonder if I’m still apart of the team, if my teammates will welcome me back - or if they miss me at all on the team?
Lean on the people around you - family, friends, coaches, teammates - makes all the difference. They’ve been through it too, and their support helps you push through, heal, and come back stronger.
Building Resilience
Building resilience means facing the challenges head-on, even when the distractions and outside pressures pile up.
It’s about keeping your focus when things feel unfair, when people don’t notice your effort, or when life throws curveballs that make the path harder.
Resilience is finding that inner strength to rise after setbacks, to stay committed to your goals, and to keep moving forward - because every small step forward is proof that you won’t give up on yourself.
