Why We Work
The State-Level Athlete Who Never Makes It Big
I Am Alert To…
I am Raghav, 28, state-level sprinter. Morning practice at the stadium, same track, same lanes, same faces. Selections have passed me by twice already.
I Am Impacted By…
I know I may never run for the country.
I Am Rooting For…
Still, I train every morning. Not because I believe a miracle will happen, but because stopping feels like betraying a younger version of myself. Running keeps my body honest and my mind quiet. On the track, I am still who I chose to be.
One Minute!
Practice ends. I stretch, pack my bag, and leave. Tomorrow will look the same. That’s okay.
