@afrochicks
i'm just gonna quick reintro so people understand my lore
i am 11 x national triple jump champ, competed in world champs, europeans, diamond leagues etc
been an athlete since i was 15, pro since i was 20.
i have been on olympic funding programme since 2018
joined crypto in 2021 and made an NFT collection and raised 7 ETH to fund that season
had a successful season and moved near national training facility
olympic funding is £17,000 a year and literally all my money was going on rent
got injured
i believe the financial stress contributed to injuries i got burnt out and moved back to hometown last august
since joining farcaster and creating onchain/crypto content i have made enough to actually fund my life/athletics properly
i am taking a break this competitive year to keep grinding with content so in september i am in the best position to train towards the 2028 olympics
every piece of content i make is with that goal in mind and i am so grateful for this space for allowing this to happen! :)
