The bone in my arm stopped growing when I was a teenager, from ten meter.

Nobody ever taught me how to actually hit the water properly. So my arm just took the impact until it couldn’t grow there anymore. I can’t dive ten meter anymore.

Growing up all I saw were the medals and constant highlights from other athletes. Nobody wanted to share the real story’s like this. My page shows the real side of being an athlete so follow if you want more than just a highlight reel🫶🏻

If we’re not having fun, what are we doing this for?🤷🏻‍♀️

i had a coach who told me i was fat, that i wasn’t important, that my friends didn’t like me. i believed her for years.

it took me leaving, training somewhere else, and rebuilding basically everything about how i saw myself to realize none of that was true.

if someone made you feel small when you were just trying to get better at something you loved — that wasn’t normal, and it wasn’t your fault.

you don’t have to carry what they said about you anymore. follow along, i’m still figuring out how to let it go too.

I will be in the middle of the pool for the foreseeable future🫣

Your subconscious knows when something’s wrong🫶🏻

The short tan after 1hr in the sun was crazy😭 at least it went away after water practice🙌🏻

First week done💪🏻 very much only survived it and nothing more but sometimes that’s all you can do🤷🏻‍♀️
