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.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? I wanted to become a Rush Athlete as I wanted not only to belong to a community of like minded individuals, who share the same passion - but I also wanted to grow this passion in my home country of Singapore. Skipping is not well known here yet, and through Rush’s prominent and important movement, I wanted to show the people of Singapore the power that lies within this simple, albeit functional, rope. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? Skipping has given me a platform to connect with people that I would normally never have the chance to meet. It has also empowered my well being. When I am down or frustrated, I will naturally find myself grabbing a Money or Legacy rope and skipping my troubles away. In essence, it has helped me regain control of my life.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? I didn’t know the potential of jump rope until I discovered Rush Athletics on YouTube. I wanted to be able share the same discovery with the rest of the world! HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? Even though skipping is a physical workout, I would say it has made more of an impact on my mental game than my physical. Skipping teaches you persistency, enhances your mind muscle connection and overall boosts your confidence in yourself. No feeling is better than finally clearing a move or completing a combo you have been drilling for days. *Looking at you MIC release -_-* INSPIRE. ““Your health is your most valuable asset, take care of it.” https://www.rushathlete.com/carmine daily 0.75 2021-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60477896fe54df702f7f3974/1616081621278-N4PF28WTFOUUNBM7BCVW/_DSC8811-Edit+%28NXPowerLite+Copy%29.jpg CARMINE - CARMINE.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? I yearned to be a part of something bigger than myself. Ever since meeting Rushie, the vision was clear cut and it resonated within me, thus guiding me to becoming a Rush Athlete! HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? It has led me to meet amazing and like minded individuals with similar goals in mind!

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? Rush Athletics is what got me into skipping, so when Rushie launched the Rush Athlete programme, I knew this is what I wanted; to be a part of the family and be able to represent and spread the brand to others - so they also can change their life through skipping. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? Skipping changed my life completely. It taught me to learn, to accept failure and to try again no matter how hard things can be. Its brought me into a wonderful family of skippers all across the globe. And best of all, it’s made me happy. INSPIRE. “Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.” “If you want to reach your goals, you need to go all out with an open mind. Accepting that things can be a lot harder than expected and using everything you learn to edge closer towards your goals. Think about what motivates you. Is it to land a new trick or to jump another 10 skips before tripping? Or is it the journey of adopting a newfound lifestyle that skipping brings? When you’re struggling, break tricks down, count the number of times a piece of plastic moves past your head. Think about where you started, and where you want to go. Set your goals high (I prefer mine to be unreachable) and focus on one thing at a time. You can do this! You got this! And of course, we’re all here to help you in the process!'“ https://www.rushathlete.com/mariusz daily 0.75 2022-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60477896fe54df702f7f3974/70e5ab50-83e5-41c6-b217-c0f4c2f9cdd0/IMG_2215.jpg MARIUSZ - MARIUSZ.

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. INSPIRE. “If you can't fly then RUN, if you can't run then WALK, if you can't walk then CRAWL - but whatever you do you have to keep moving FORWARD.” - Martin Luther King Jr. https://www.rushathlete.com/laurent daily 0.75 2021-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60477896fe54df702f7f3974/1617121179995-9SPE2V73NGQW2EKX0OLA/unnamed-5.jpg LAURENT - LAURENT.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? I believed so much in Rushie’s vision and I felt the need to share my journey to inspire more people - bridging the gap between fitness and lifestyle for our mental and physical health. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? Jumping rope was one of the few good things that happened in 2020. It has kept me sane during the pandemic & improved not just my physical but most importantly my mental health. Getting addicted to it gave me a PLATFORM - I felt the need to share my journey for this was more than just a fitness. Moving forward, I will continue to lead to inspire more and help the growing jump rope community. This has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done.

It's all about the community; who are a great bunch of people, willing to teach each other and learn from one another! I wanted to be a part of that and to promote one of the best forms of cardio that anyone can do! HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? I've lost 10kgs since I started skipping, and it has definitely gotten me out of some of my darkest days. The beauty of it is that I spend all my time trying to learn/execute a new trick that I don't pay attention to how tiring the workout is or how anxious/stressed I am on a particular day.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? From when I first discovered Rushie, it’s been my ambition to be a Rush Athlete. Watching Rushie skip ignites a fire within me, which I found pushes me to better myself. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? Massively! I feel as though skipping found me for a reason, at a point I really needed it. Skipping allows me to feel present in a moment where nothing else matters, in a headspace that no one else can enter, and no one else can control… skipping is my outlet that ultimately sets my mind free.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? When I first got my invitation to become a Rush Athlete, I knew right there and then I would be part of something huge! I’m able to promote the Rush Athletics brand while sharing the love I have for jump rope and fitness. I remember Rushie saying one of his goals is to get everyone on Earth to have a rope in their hands; I will help create this reality. I want my legacy to be remembered, promoting health and fitness as a Rush Athlete. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? I wasn’t good at any sports growing up, but then I realized as I got into martial arts, (and mainly boxing nowadays), I wanted to be as light and quick on my feet as possible. Picking up my first money rope has helped my timing and footwork tremendously, but not just for boxing but overall health. INSPIRE. "Running water never grows stale.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? I came across the RA YouTube page when I was looking to improve my double-unders for CrossFit. I realized there was more to skipping than just singles and DUs, and that skipping was an art form that could be built on and refined - which gave me an entire new perspective on jumprope. I particularly loved the RA style as the focus is heavily on proper technique and looking effortless - which is really what separates good skippers from great ones. I was hooked and knew I wanted to be apart of this worldwide skipping movement. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? Skipping has made me a better person. It has taught me that discipline and patience are a state of mind - and the mentality needed to overcome struggles with skipping can be translated to any life situation. It has also been a form of therapy to clear my mind when I am feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I grab my rope, put on my headphones and let my mind go. INSPIRE. “The road to success with a new skill or job might seem daunting at first but one of my favorite quotes of all time is ‘You don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.’ Don’t let the fear of failure scare you, let it excite you - and know that if you overcome it, that’s one less thing you are afraid of and one more reason to keep going.“ https://www.rushathlete.com/katrina daily 0.75 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60477896fe54df702f7f3974/d25dcd07-e5f1-463a-95de-1e1a9ba91e9e/DSC06937.jpg KATRINA - KATRINA.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE? As a newbie to the jump rope community, the first influential page that I came across with was the Rush Athletics profile. I have witnessed how Rushie has transformed lives through skipping and how he has used his platform to build a community that promotes enthusiasm by making exercise enjoyable. I was inspired by how Rushie radiates a strong sense of camaraderie and also offers an undeniable warmth of a family. It has become my motivation that if ever I will be a Rush Athlete, it will not only be a big privilege but more like a huge blessing. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? I have always been an exercise junkie. I have tried a lot of physical activities from tedious HIIT exercises to Muay Thai to name a few. But skipping has provided me with a magnificent sanctuary after my normal daily activities. It has become a paradise where I can ease my stress, share my skills and learn from my fellow jumpers. I can proudly say that skipping is such a bad habit to break because eversince I started, I have never felt that I have to workout even for a day in my life.

NAME: Mia | BASE: Cambridge, UK @: @miajumprope STORY. WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE?

I want to help others discover jump rope to enable them to enjoy a new way of fitness. HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? Skipping has impacted my life by giving me another way to stay fit that is enjoyable, and also helped give me a focus over the lockdown period. It is something that has become part of me, and I am continuing to learn new skills and develop my jump rope style. INSPIRE. “Keep pushing forward with your jump rope journey!
