Four teenage gymnasts. Two back injuries. Two elbow injuries. One truth they all discovered the hard way: strength isn't built in the gym, it's built in the moment everything falls apart. Hilly, Freya, Poorvi, and Savannah sit down to talk about the injuries that took them off the floor and what it actually took to get back on it.

What We Cover

• How each of them found gymnastics, and why none of them think they chose it so much as it chose them
• What a normal week looks like when you're a teenager balancing school, work, and 12 to 16 hours of training
• The exact moment each injury happened, told in raw, unfiltered detail
• The surgeries, the casts, the six month recovery, the summer spent watching everyone else move without them
• How they coped mentally when their bodies wouldn't let them do the one thing they loved
• The first day back in the gym, and the specific moment each of them thought "I'm back"
• How their relationship with the sport changed after almost losing it

A Moment That Will Stay With You
One of the girls kept a journal for three months during recovery, writing down one thing every single day that she was excited to do again once she got back to gymnastics. She still has it at home. It's the kind of quiet, private discipline nobody sees, and it's exactly what got her through.
