Reflecting on the past season and my goals, priorities and preperation for the next. . After all, "Luck is what happens when preperation meets opportunity." [Seneca] . ••• . Preperation is essential to success. As the saying goes, "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail." (Benjamin Franklin). What you choose to do in the "off-season" when it's a grind and no one is watching, will determine your level of performance when it's game time and the pressure is on. . It's about showing up day in and day out and putting in the work. But it's also so much more. . . Our preperation extends from how we train and how we set up our equipment, to how we recover and how we care for ourselves mentally, emotionally and spiritually. These things contribute just as much (if not more!) to our performance and ability to reach our goals as our physical preperation does. . So while I am busy making training plans and setting physical goals that will help me reach my big goals, I am also thinking through self-care routines, recovery strategies, education and who I want to surround myself with. . I want to be the best I can be and that means preparing myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. . . >> What goals do you have for yourself? >>Do you have a plan in place to reach those goals? >> Do you have goals for your body, mind, soul and spirit? . . . #reflection #inspiration #aspirstion #goalsetter #challenge #dreamchaser #dreambig #manwithaplan #preperation #mygameplan #mindbodysoul #wholeself #wholistichealth #selfcare #somuchmore #allin #TheHappyNow #bobsleigh #bobsled #fitnessgirl #fitforlife #fitlife #TeamCanada

Nobody puts baby in the corner! . . We are taking our first ever dance lessons to learn the waltz for our wedding. You have to start somewhere, right?! We are 2 lessons in, I’m having so much fun. It feels great to move and try to be graceful. Change of pace for me, I love it! Basically I feel like I’m on dancing with the stars now. . . When Travis and I first started dating he would grab me and just start dancing anywhere in public. It was the slow back and forth, such a romantic. now we can upgrade our skills.

Congratulations to our USA Skeleton National Championship medalists! @kendallorraine and @afloskiah claimed their first career titles, and a spot on the 2019-2020 World Cup team! 🇺🇸👏🏻

And just like that the 2018-2019 season is over. A season of a handful of highs, and hugely disappointing lows, capped off with a 10th place finish at the World Championships in Whistler, a race I wish I could redo. This has been the most difficult season to date and I would not have made it through it without the massive support group that surrounds me, thank you to those who have prayed and cheered for me, for @benjimaier94 @ritas_flour_garden @jeffvat @princessnnicole @richbromley33 and @sommernine for consistently picking up the pieces of my shattered confidence, @debruinivo for getting me to be the fittest I’ve ever been physically, for team Korea for opening their arms to me giving coaching and much needed support, to Leah for ensuring my body was firing at peak performance coming to the world championships, and to my teammates and competitors who chose to be friends first, rivals second I cannot say thank you enough ❤️ to my sponsors for financially supporting me @wealthcoinsight @fairfieldwatson @essexlease @scovanengineering @bonnevillequinnrealestate @qwixskinz #GreatWestKenworth #EastWestExpress... now time to relax, refocus and reassess what is next. 📸 @rekords

Hello! It's me 👽 from Russia with love 🇷🇺❤️ #skeletonsport

Feliz día del padre!Felicitar aquellos papis que de pequeños nos llevaban la bolsa del fútbol o de la piscina porque no podíamos con ella. Aquellos que nos han inculcado el sentimiento de un club (en mi caso @rcdespanyol ) de la mejor @laliga del mundo!Que pasan los años y lo mejor del finde es ir con tu padre y hermanos al estadio. Aquellos que cuando te echan la bronca,en el fondo es porque te quieren! Pero sobre todo aquellos Papás que te quieren locura y constantemente dicen que sus hijos son lo mejor que les ha pasado nunca! Gracias Papi😘❤️ Artículo de @sheredia @lavanguardia #diadelpadre
