What I'm AFTR...
I'm an adaptive athlete who loves a challenge.
I do this because I believe in showing what's possible. For those who think they can't, I want them to see that they can. And for those that think that they can, I want them to know they can do even better.
Everyday I train, not just for myself but for my kids and for the people who know me and look up to me. I want them to see what it looks like when someone has a dream and chases it until it becomes reality. I want this to fuel their own journey and to achieve dreams even bigger than mine.
What I'm aftr is progress, not just wins or medals... progress!
I've been dreaming my whole life and what drives me now is turning those dreams into reality step by step. This is why I count my blessings daily.
A long as I can breathe, I'm chasing progress. Whether in cycling, Hyrox, work or in life.
My Mantra in life is : Don't Give Krag Weg (DGKW)
To me this means the mind is alway stronger than the body.
Training isn't always about getting stronger, its about becoming mentally unshakable.
Thats why I set my alarm for 3am, even when its freezing outside and my bed is warm. Thats why I push through discomfort, because my mind needs to be just as ready as my body.
Losing my arm in an accident could've been the end of my story, instead it
became the start of a new one.
Now I use my journey to show the world what's possible. To remind people that limitations are only boundaries we place on ourselves.
Here's to never setting boundaries, only pushing them.
