Greatness doesn’t come from it being easy. It comes from falling, failing and choosing to get back up again. This season I have watched Austyn face several setbacks, mental blocks and dips in confidence. But through it all, she never gave up. She found a way. She communicated with her coaches! And in the end she competed her best meet of the season. She went in with the attitude of no am going to do my best. We put no pressure on her. But I knew this meet was different. She was laughing, talking to girls not from her gym, she had joy throughout the meet. And that day her best was first. She had no idea, I didn’t either. So proud of her hard work, dedication and determination. Thank you to her coaches .gym who believed in her when she didn’t believe in herself. They found another way when she put too much pressure on herself and lost confidence. Thank you to for adding sparkle and bows to her life!
