Pictures tell more than a story
Pictures show a journey
Evidence of grit, drive, pain, focus...
Sometimes the journey is good
Sometimes bad
Sometimes painful
Sometimes joyful
…and sometimes, the journey turns to a righteous anger at a failed beam routine...
…that results in one of the most stunning floor routines I've seen in real life...
While on the surface I see skill, glamour, awesomeness...
I also see evidence of that grit and determination that pushes her through hours and hours of training...
Training that pays off not only in top notch skills and routines...
Not only in 1st place finishes...
…but training that pays off in confidence, joy, self-esteem, and an "I can do anything", "I'm taking a big bite out of life" way of living that will propel her through her whole life.
