Episode 89 - Tori Singleton // World class acrobat, Physical & mental health issues, Power of your mind, Being a coach and mentor.

Ep. 89

Tori began her athletic career in dance and gymnastics as a young girl with boundless energy. She found her true passion in acrobatics, which became her identity despite broken bones, surgeries, and missed opportunities. Tori's career had ups and downs like a roller coaster, with a highlight being competing at the 2018 World Championships in Belgium. Intense training for the world championships revealed the essence of hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. In 2019, Tori struggled with severe physical and mental health issues between competitions, leaving her unrecognizable. Against the odds, she earned a silver medal at the World Cup while still facing surgeries and stress fractures. This experience taught Tori that she could overcome anything with the right mindset. After competing, Tori prioritized her physical and mental well-being by restructuring her whole life. She now sees her unique career path as a gift to coach, mentor, and inspire others based on her struggles. Tori's mission is to empower future athletes to embrace alternative paths to success.
