Mic'd up Olympian @jakepates was hyped during the @coloradoavalanche game! #StanleyCup
This video was taken months before I made the Olympic team, and before the comeback even started 🎥 @colepates
At that point, I had been away from the sport for 5 years and just spent six months abroad training as much as I possibly could to make this a reality. I was hurt, off track, and honestly just trying to rebuild my life.
But I remember this feeling so clearly…
Like something bigger was pulling me back.
I told myself…if you’re gonna do it, you gotta do it. Fully commit.
Posting this for anyone who’s in that phase right now…
where nothing makes sense yet, but you feel it anyway.
