Question: What is is like navigating the baton twirling world, typically a female-dominated sport, as a male athlete?
Answer: Throughout my career I’ve been blessed to have a crazy amount of support from not only friends and family, but also my hometown. This helped build my confidence and be able to navigate a female dominated sport.
Often times costuming for male athletes falls as a second thought, which can be disheartening for anyone. Luckily, emerging costume designers like Emma Faye Designs allow creative freedom and expression for anyone! Male athletes can now, more than ever, curate the looks that they want to achieve and I think that creates a space for more men to join the game.
