MORE THAN FITNESS. THIS IS MY STORY.

I've been an athlete for as long as I can remember. I started playing soccer at seven and quickly fell in love with competition. But behind the athlete was a young woman struggling with body image, food, and the belief that being smaller somehow meant being better. 

At fifteen, everything changed when I shattered my leg during a soccer game. Just a few months after recovering from that, I ruptured a disc in my lower back. I lost strength and sensation in my legs and was told I would never play soccer again. I was broken. My entire identity was in the game.
