i just wanted to say congratulations. for showing up, pushing through those injuries, staying up late to get schoolwork done, for giving it your all! you did something that so many people never will

and now that it’s over… it’s ok to feel lost
i remember the realization setting in right after my injury last year and asked myself who am i without the sport? gymnastics gave me everything. no practice. no meets. no more team meetings. no routine. 

it was a WILD experience and ngl i felt so lost.
I still do sometimes, but with time you’ll start to find little pieces of yourself outside of the sport

you’ve already accomplished so much and you are ready for the next chapter too

you’re not falling behind you’re just finding a new rhythm

be proud of yourself and keep moving forward! #StudentAthletes #AthleteMindset #LifeAfterSports #ChasingDreams #FindingYourself #PostSportJourney #MentalHealthMatters #NextChapter #SelfGrowth #SportsToLife
