They said "you can't" i said "watch me"

I started doing the highland games because I was interested in learning about my family heritage and culture. I wasn't planning on doing the athletics until someone told me I couldn't do it... now I'm about to start 3rd season. Due to many previous injuries my progression is quite slow and steady, I am very proud of what I have done and what I will accomplish

... Read moreHighland Games are not just about athletic prowess; they celebrate a rich cultural heritage that traces back centuries. Participants engage in traditional sports such as the caber toss and stone put, which require both strength and technique. Many athletes, like myself, are drawn to these games for their community aspect and personal challenges. For those interested in starting or learning more, joining local clubs or attending events can provide invaluable experience and support. As I continue my journey, I remind others that progress is personal, and each small victory shapes our paths, reflecting the true spirit of the games. Remember, overcoming obstacles is part of the journey; embrace it and keep pushing forward.
