Saoirse Deboy

We make it look easy, but we've done it a 1000 times to make it look easy.

Do you know Saoirse DeBoy personally?

When we were young, we dreamed of high kicks, but never imagined the pain. When we were young, we dreamed of perfect rhythms, but never imagined the late night drills. When we were young, we dreamed of straight backs, but never imagined sweaty pre-dawn sit ups. When we were young, we dreamed of flying, but never imagined the price of landing. When we were young, we dreamed of smiling atop a podium, but never imagined the tears that led the way. We still dream of being champions, but can’t imagine, don’t realise, that we already are.

Why do we even try? When the barriers are so high and the odds are so low—why don’t we just pack it in and go home? It would be so much easier. It’s because in the end, there’s no glory in easy. No one remembers easy. They remember the blood, and the bones, and the long agonizing fight to the top. And that, that is how you become legendary.
