I was always very driven to win, yes.
But I worked so hard because just winning was never enough for me.
I wanted more than that.
I wanted to push myself to find out what my full potential was.
I wanted to do impossible things.
I wanted to shatter expectations.
I wanted to be a legend.
But even in my most motivated seasons, the doubt, fear, and pain still crept in.
Even as driven as I was, there were moments I wanted to give up.
But allowing myself to remember why I started, to focus on what I loved about my sport gave me the opportunity to push through, embrace and find joy in the journey.
Why did I then come back after a 9 year retirement with 4 kids in tow?
Because I just love to dive.
It’s fun, it’s exhilarating, and it makes me feel alive.
When things get hard, remember why you love what you do.
