My Road to Recovery

I thought about all the people who also go through injury, accidents and even long periods of time where work doesn’t allow them to train. And they eventually want to go back to their sport but they might feel like it is too hard of a challenge, too late or maybe they just don’t have the motivation to get back into it. I see many strong climbers all over social media, following very regimented training protocols, working on their projects, and succeeding and pushing a very “ideal” possible. I have been there, it is one face of climbing that makes sense to be displayed. However, I haven’t seen much of what happens behind the scenes while a climber returns to their sport after injury.

Gnarly is a supplement brand that promotes recovery and my scenario is an ideal example to portray part of this process.

As a climbing athlete I want to be transparent showing all faces of the sport and represent Gnarly as the supplement that goes with me in both, when I am at my peak and when I make a comeback. These moments are very hard already so it feels reassuring to know I have the support and fuel to get back at it. I believe strongly that a recovery story is a compelling one that needs to be heard.
