Get A Grip

In this episode, I’m kicking off a brand-new chapter for the podcast (and my life). I’ll be diving into why I’ve decided to switch things up, what you can expect from here on out, and how starting university has thrown me into a whole new world of adulting—like budgeting and cooking. If you’ve ever felt a mix of excitement and fear about big life changes, trust me, you’re not alone! Join me as I get real about expectations versus reality, learning to face those first-year fears, and figure out how actually to be an adult.

"I think the beauty of sports is that it's not a race against you and other people, it's really a challenge, a fight, a battle against you vs. you!"

Alisha shares her personal experience with burnout and injury as a competitive gymnast, shedding light on the pressures and challenges faced by young athletes in sport.

Whether you're an athlete yourself or just interested in the world of sports, join Alisha as she delves into this important topic!
