I’m honestly feeling a little overwhelmed right now… in the best possible way.
To walk away from a GLOBAL championship with a 🥉 3rd place and a 🌍 7th place finish is something I don’t think has fully sunk in yet. It genuinely feels like we won the whole event.
Watching our athletes grow over the past six months, then stand on the global stage representing not only Visual Energy Studios but Australia, has been one of the proudest moments of my coaching career.
To our incredible athletes… I cannot put into words how proud I am of each and every one of you. Your resilience, determination, courage and passion have been incredible to witness. Competing not once, not twice, but FOUR days in a row, is no easy feat, yet every single time you stepped onto that floor you delivered, improved your score, trusted your training and gave everything you had. That is what I’m most proud of.
This experience has taught us so much. We leave Montreal not only with amazing results, but with knowledge, friendships, memories and motivation that will shape the future of our program. I truly hope the hard work both mentally and physically you had to apply to get through the 4 days has taught you how strong you are and that you are capable to get through any adversity.
To Coaches Maddy, Jacinta and Gemma… thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your commitment, hard work, countless hours and belief in these athletes made this journey what it was. You worked absolute wonders with our teams, and I couldn’t be more grateful that we shared this adventure together. The awesome foursome really did it! ❤️
To our amazing parents… thank you. Your support, encouragement, flexibility and willingness to help with absolutely everything never went unnoticed. To those who became my personal support crew throughout the week (and prior) you know exactly who you are. Thank you for looking after me, stepping in whenever needed and making this journey that little bit easier. I love you all.
