“I’m honored to be Athlete of the month. May was a rough month for me, but the rough patches brought to the fore just how loyal and compassionate we are as a team. Apart from being messaged and cared for after the crash, I got some life-affirming pep talks from my teammates – and ongoing check-ins from Robin and Leslie. Of course, I thought about giving up, but those thoughts were quickly drowned out when I watched the team crush Gettysburg. I felt so proud and just wanted to get back to teamwork. A few weeks off with an injury really helps restore perspective and generates a feeling of being lucky to be moving and part of a team. We really do rise to the challenges.”
