as a young athlete put into the scene on TV and everything at 18 years old it was
00:00:05
it was quite a lot for me and a lot of people sort of seeing that and possibly objectifying it at the age of 18 19 was
00:00:11
quite a tough thing to go through at such a young age I remember chilling and soone at the time came in and had chat
00:00:17
me and they like hey like you've got a million views on YouTube and I was like
00:00:20
oh cool like of my poll warning that's awesome I go on there and it's just
00:00:23
someone objectifying me on YouTube and it was yeah very icky and makes me feel quite uncomfortable especially from that
00:00:30
young age and then sort of as I got older sort of learning how to deal with that and going from being a teenager
00:00:35
into being an early 20s athlete like that does change and I think getting stronger more powerful slightly bigger
00:00:43
belt I struggle with that for a little bit because it's not your typical female
00:00:48
body and that has had to change the view and the outlook on it over time and I really hope that a lot of other you know
00:00:54
girls and women are able to feel confident in their body being strong
