In 2017, I shot my shot with 1st Phorm 🇺🇸 by applying to their Legionnaire program.
In 2018, I applied to become a Sponsored Athlete. Didn’t get it.
Applied again in 2019. Didn’t get it.
2020. Same thing.
2021. One more time.
Except this time, 4 years after I first shot my shot, I was officially announced as a 1st Phorm Sponsored Athlete.
9 years later, I look back and realize just how much this company has given me. But one of the biggest lessons it taught me?
You’re not entitled to S**T.
You have to WORK for the things you want. And even when you put in the work, that doesn’t mean things are going to happen on YOUR timeline.
Someone at 1st Phorm 🇺🇸 told me something years ago that has stuck with me ever since.
“Act as if.”
You want something? Act as if you already have it.
Show up like the person who has already achieved what you’re working toward. Build her habits. Adopt her discipline. Hold yourself to her standards.
And eventually, you become her.
That advice changed the way I approach EVERYTHING in my life.
I don’t wait for a title, an opportunity, or someone else’s validation to start showing up as the woman I want to be.
I do the work NOW. I show up NOW. I earn it NOW.
Even when nobody’s watching. Even when nobody’s clapping. Even when the answer is no.
Because the goal was never just to be GIVEN something. It was to become someone who EARNED it.
And here we are, 9 years later.
Still learning. Still growing. Still fu***ng grinding.
And still just as honored to represent a company that stands for something bigger than a logo on a bottle. A company whose mission aligns with my own, whose people have become family, and whose community continues to push me to be better.
Thank you 1st Phorm 🇺🇸 Andy Frisella MFCEO Jarrett William Bond Aaron Summers for everything you’ve done for me over the years, but most importantly, thank you for believing in me.
I’m proud to be a part of this. Always have been. Always will be.
LET’S KEEP BOOMING!! ❤️💙
