What sport/s did you play growing up…⁣

The Olympics definitely bring up some serious emotions for me. Not that I ever would have made an Olympic team 😂😩 but they always get me thinking about all of my “shoulda, woulda, coulda” possibilities as a young athlete… should I have stuck with gymnastics as a little girl? Should I have tried harder with swimming? Should I have played soccer in college instead of running track?⁣

And if I had made a different decision, what would that “alternative” outcome be?⁣

But that’s life. Every decision we make alters our path in some way. And the reality of my situation is that my choices brought me RIGHT HERE! Getting the opportunity to share my love of movement and making a career out of it. So really, how lucky am I that it all worked out so beautifully… ✨⁣

And to answer my original question, what sport DIDN’T I play… I grew up trying every sport I could but never wanted to actually compete. So when the time came to “move up” to the competitive team, I would quit (now I realize I just had some serious performance anxiety).⁣

It wasn’t until high school that I committed to sports (soccer & track) and then eventually went on to do the heptathlon in college. ⁣

But we’ll save the failed college career story for another day 😂⁣

So, what sports did you play growing up Team and what’s your sport story? Did you go on to play in college/professional? Do you still play it?
