After undergoing 3 shoulder surgeries over the last few years I hung up my togs and walked away after 2016. I thought I was ok with how my career had ended as I felt my body was screaming enough is enough. I swam, I ran and I cycled for just over a year, as the athlete in me wasn’t ready to stop training. A few weeks ago I broke down and I missed chasing my dreams on the platform. I went back to the doctor to have my shoulder checked and he told me I was in pretty good condition, he also said divers have to be a little bit crazy in the first place. A huge shoutout goes to @danatk08 who taught me how to swim hundreds of laps in the pool day after day and with that I built back the strength in my shoulder quicker then originally thought. I don’t know what the future on the platform holds for me or if my body will hold up, however I’m hoping one day I can get back up there with the confidence I once had flipping off the 10m platform chasing my dreams again 🤞✨ #ComeBack
