Jordan trains hard so he can one day represent Sierra Leone at professional level. Having the support of his teammates during training and competitions makes a huge difference and allows him to focus on the next jump, knowing that his team have his back no matter what.
Sarah comes from a competitive family and has ambitions to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a professional athlete. For Sarah, her team plays a key role in supporting her, always there to lift her up when it’s been a hard day or push her to get that last rep in before the end of the session.
