On Competition: “Kettlebell competitions provide a phenomenal opportunity to push myself to the limit and see what I can accomplish. I love that there is always the unknown — anything can happen! Watching each competitor take to the platform and pour everything they have into their performance gives me chills every time. Gathering with incredible athletes from all around the world, who like me love Kettlebell Sport, provides for a heartfelt and inspiring day.”
