Daughter, sister, athlete, ninja warrior, coach, trainer. I'm an independent, loyal and determined extroverted-introvert. I worry a lot that I'm not going to make it to where I want to be. I struggle to balance friend and family time on top of reaching my goals. I know I need to learn to disconnect from my job and goal stuff to reach out and be with friends. The worst day of my life was the day my ex boyfriend died of an overdose. I think I still hang onto the story that I'm the girlfriend of a drug addict. My biggest emotional insecurity is getting close to someone and them leaving me - that seems to be what happens to me a lot. So many times in my life I have felt not good enough, especially in those times when I "failed" or when things didn't go right in a relationship. I honestly hate my thighs and legs. I always feel like they are so weak and could use more improvement. I love my arms and my back though. If I could give the 12 year old me advice I'd tell her, "keep doing you and don't worry about what anyone else says. Also don't be insecure about your strong arms because strength is nothing to be ashamed of!". I've been cheated on and totally broken hearted. I learned that NO ONE should ever make you feel that way and to always go with your gut instinct even if you feel crazy. I wish women stopped comparing themselves. It isn't a competition. there is room for everyone to be happy and successful. Judgement affects female relationships a lot. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover because you really don't know what someone else is going through mentally. Right now I'm excited about sharing my ACL reconstruction story with the world and helping other athletes. Success to me is just being happy, loving what you do each day and helping others. A good heart is the most beautiful thing. In 10 years I hope to be traveling the world and continuing to do what I love - fitness. I am Angela and I feel most alive when I'm flipping around because I just feel so powerful.
