STORY.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE?
I wanted to be part of something bigger than me. I wanted to create history and great memories.
HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?
Firstly, skipping improved my mental health. I was in dark place and jump rope helped me to get to the sun. I always was active, but jump rope helped me reach the next level. I was always running, but I wanted to fly - Rush Athletics helped me achieve this.
