31st Aug 2014 exactly 10 years ago today i learned to believe in myself i was fast in school but i had never considered pursuing athletics as a career however my PE teacher persuaded me so i reluctantly joined a club i started competing in the sprints but it was too nerve-racking for me i just simply wasn't fast enough and when it came to national championships i hated the crushing feeling of losing i noticed that although britain were super strong at sprints and multi events there wasn't any female triple jumpers coming through the ranks there was a huge gap so i took a huge risk the next year i decided to change events and i set a goal to break the british youth record and after some months of grinding on this day 10 years ago i achieved that goal in one season i improved my triple jump best from 9.88m to 12.61m (32.41 feet to 41.37 feet) and the rest was history !! tldr - find a gap where your skills can fit, grind at it and set yourself up to win
