Question: What is your favorite part of being a young, elite athlete in the twirling community? What are you most looking forward to at the first IBTF Nations Cup and World Championships in Liverpool?
Answer: Being an elite athlete at 13 years old does come with a lot of responsibilities, but I also make sure l have fun while l am doing it. I love when l am able to help a younger twirler learn a new skill or overcome some kind of difficulty in their twirling because l have already been through it and l am able to help them through my experiences. It feels really special to have the opportunity to be a role model but mostly l just want everyone in our sport to know that you have to have fun too!
Being apart of the very first IBTF Nations cup and World Championship event will be a such historical moment for our sport! I feel so blessed to be a part of all of it. I think l am most looking forward to being able to meet the althetes from the other countries and exchanging good luck gifts with them. Getting the opportunity to learn about other cultures through Baton and making friends from all over the world is so exciting! Of course l have to admit one of my favorite things is trying the foods. I think the best part of all of it will be debuting three new Emma Faye design costumes at the World Championship event!
