OLYMPIC BONUS // Brooke Buschkuehl (Stratton)
Manage episode 318619361 series 3278805
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been glued to the TV watching the Olympics. I know growing up it was always such an exciting time getting to see all the incredible athletes show what they have got on a world stage. These athletes become hero’s to children, they are the reason that they start a sport or continue with a sport.
I’m coming to you with a little taster of an episode I recorded with Olympic long jumper Brooke Stratton last year. This was an early episode of the podcast, and I really had no clue of setting up the audio – not that much has changed, but please excuse the sound quality.
I love the fact that Brookey was inspired by watching the Sydney 2000 Olympics and is now about to step onto the world stage for her second Olympics at Tokyo. It really shows what a bit of talent, dedication and hard work can do towards achieving your childhood dreams.
I think it’s important to acknowledge that it’s not always smooth sailing for athletes to get where they are, there’s a lot of hard work and obstacles along the way, with Brookey being no exception of this. If you want to hear Brooke’s journey before she jumps please check out Season 1, Episode 6. Brooke is jumping tomorrow, Sunday 1st August I’ll be cheering her on, and I hope are too.
