5-time World Champion and Olympic gold medalist Carissa Moore announced she's stepping away from competitive surfing. But really, she's expanding the idea of what it means to be an athlete.
Your story highlights something I've always believed, that no athlete should put "all their eggs in the basket" of their sport. Anyone who's an athlete (professional and amateur enthusiast alike) faces injury and aging. Evolving is healthy! And being an athlete doesn't have to mean competing at the top of the game. Thanks for your post.
I loved reading the original article (I’d never have found it on my own). So inspirational.
There are so many stages through athletics. When I was younger I never expected to get SO MUCH slower as I age. I have and yet running still is such an important part of life. It’s difficult and interesting to evolve and appreciate new phases.
Thanks for sharing the original article and for this post. I really enjoy your writing!!!
