The Sadie Gibbs Journey
My life as an athlete has been life-long and has led me to a career as a holistic life coach. I want to help others achieve their own success based on what I’ve learned in my own experiences.
Starting as early as aged 4 my parents supported my desire to be a gymnast, and by the age of 8 I had achieved elite gymnast status. This wasn’t easy; I trained 24-32 hours a week to achieve this and it was hard work. Not far into the elite training and competitions I developed an overwhelming fear of travelling backwards in Movement.
Slowly this affected my ability to maintain and compete at the elite standards I had worked so hard for. I tried many things to help overcome this mental block including hypnotherapy, however my mind had created and developed a limitation; I had no power at that point in time to overcome or understand what had happened to me because of this overwhelming fear.
After taking some time away I had the courage and ambition to start again in my teen years, and have been working on my mind and body since then, as I have learned from my childhood experience that these two things are so interlinked.
I went on to develop an aching desire to pursue a career in professional wrestling, so I set a plan in place to help achieve this goal. I knew this was a longshot, but I would have been letting myself down had I not tried.
In May of 2017 I tried out for the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and was accepted. By 2019 I had travelled all over Europe and Japan, competing and showcasing my wrestling skills, and by February 2019 I was offered a contract with one of WWE’s biggest up and coming competitors in the wrestling business “All Elite Wrestling.“ I gained a lot of attention and viral exposure due to a particular move called the “The Cockscrew sasuke special” as I was the only wrestler ever to have performed this.
In these experiences I have learned a lot about myself, and have developed a deep desire and passion to help others do the same. I have learned that what may limit us now may be our greatest triumph in the future.
I have a tattoo in Arabic down my spine “Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's the courage to continue that counts.” I genuinely believe this. My failures have never dictated my future they’ve only ever fueled it, and helped to lead me down a more meaningful, fulfilled path; developing my strength and depth of character to go on to conquer what once seemed Impossible.
Had I of been defined by my setbacks or my perceived failures I would have never gone on to achieve everything I have up to this very point in my life. Being undefinable became my ritual, it became the reason I continue to better myself. Say out loud right now “I’M UNDEFINABLE.” How empowering does that feel?
