I was a figure skater for 15 years, classic "tiger mom" that wanted me to go to the Olympics. I ended up tearing my Achilles tendon and as sad as I was, a part of me was actually really happy I could be a normal kid again. I lost my love for skating and it took me years to find it again. This story hit really hard for me.

I was a male gymnast for 16 years since i started walking, by sophomore year in highschool i had 2 full rides to college and scouts from mens US team speaking with me regularly, then i broke my arm in 14 places on Palma horse. Never saw or heard from anyone in the business again and lost all my scholarships. I both miss it and hate it for ever being apart of my life.
