My concussion was psychologically one of the hardest injuries to get over, but the one that helped me learn the most about myself.

Find your passion and do everything in your power to improve yourself.

How did you get into freestyle?

I did trampoline at an international level until I was 18 and started freestyle skiing in 2005.

I also do stunts on the trampoline wall, which is a new discipline practiced by Cirque du Soleil and others.
