“Qualifying for the Games this year was the hard part. It’s never given to you and is something you have to fight to earn. Once I realized I had made it - I knew I had proven to myself as an athlete that I belong in this sport. I was able to silence all of my year long doubts and fears about whether I was good enough to make it back. Declining my invitation was the easiest part of the whole weekend. It was at that point that I knew the real prize was being able to be there with my newborn son and my lady. I will have peace of mind knowing I had left everything on the competition floor that weekend for my family.” - @009julian •Sometimes the ones we should be cheering for most - are those who are not on the competition floor.
