What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

At 12, Hadley didn’t make an Allstar Worlds team but took her feedback to heart—switching positions and focusing on tumbling. For a full year, she trained tirelessly, missing social events, and pushing through burnout. At 13, her hard work paid off with a spot on her first Worlds team.
