You don’t get to choose the setback. You get to choose what happens after it. It’s been a heavy few weeks in the rodeo world. The headlines have been hard to read, and harder to live for the athletes, families, and communities at the center of them.
Setbacks in this sport don’t always look the same: an injury, or loss that changes the shape of everything around it.
But the choice afterward is still yours. To do the work. Lean into the people around you. To show up for the version of yourself that’s still there, even when it’s hard to see. To seek support when needed and to trust that what comes next will come, bigger and brighter.
And to remember that nobody walks this alone.
