STORY.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE?
RA is the brand that made an impact on my style. I like the way they share knowledge, have created a community and are constantly innovating. They made me see sports from a different angle - I’d love to spread the movement in the same way to reach more people.
HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?
I like fitness and strength but cardio was missing from my workouts - and the typical cardio (running, stairs, cycling) bored me. I developed some skipping skills and I felt empowered. Personally, skipping boosts my self-control, my concentration, and the way I handle of frustration - as I had to learn to unlock each trick and overcome new challenges. I’ve also been able to meet loads of new super positive like-minded people.
