Summary
What if the thing that changed your life wasn't winning, but simply refusing to quit? After a devastating car accident and spinal injury, Angela Fuller was told she'd never be an athlete again. She spent 27 years away from gymnastics, battled postpartum depression, and faced the heartbreaking loss of her best friend to terminal breast cancer. Most people would have accepted those setbacks as the end of the story. Angela didn't. In this inspiring episode of Sweat Community, Angela shares how she found the courage to start over, applied to American Ninja Warrior four years in a row before finally making the show, and returned to competitive gymnastics. Her story has been featured in People Magazine and Inside Gymnastics, but what she really wants is for every mom listening to know: your dreams don't expire just because you became a parent. If you've ever felt like it's "too late" to go after something, this episode is your sign.
