At 16 years old, this girl set a goal – make an Olympics Final – at 18 years old, she did it! 🥳🎉

🤔Sometimes I wonder if she limited herself. Could she have medaled?

⚠️I ask this not to down play my accomplishments ⚡️ To be clear, I am very proud of what I did as an athlete.

👁️ I am looking at it from a coach’s perspective…

💦 Before my Olympic final, my coach kept saying to me “You can medal” repeatedly

❌But in the moment I can honestly say that I did not believe that I could medal 🥉.

When I look at the video now (from a coach’s eye), I think to myself – “Yeah, if I believed and fought for it – I probably could have got a bronze.”

The issue was not physical; it was my mindset 🧠.

🚨Influenced by this unique double-sided view of my history, my mission is to strengthen the communication partnership between coaches and female athletes by encouraging self-understanding to unlock the athletes’ potential toward elite performances and effective leadership.
