As a small business owner, it’s so easy to look at other’s success on social media and feel like you’re not doing enough. However, through embracing my own unique journey of entrepreneurship, I get to enjoy working on my business the way that is best for me and my life, instead of trying to build something that does not reflect me or my vision of success. Through embracing my pace, I am able to be the most authentic version of myself, which has allowed me to grow my network and be successful through the ups and downs of the journey.

My name is Mariam Abdul-Rashid, and I am a 100m hurdler for Team Canada. Since I was six years old, I’ve dreamed of competing in the Olympics. I had a fantastic high school career, but in college, injuries took a toll on my performance and my spirit. My mental health suffered.

Returning home to Canada was a pivotal moment for me. I knew that I wanted to keep pursuing my Olympic dream, but I had to embrace my own pace and accept where I was in that moment. Home was the place where I had once built myself into a great athlete, and I knew I could do it again.

With the support of therapy, new coaching, and physical rehab, I began to dismantle the pressures of where I “should be.” I focused on healing and improving myself one day at a time.

Today, I am proud to call myself an Olympian, the 2024 national champion, and #3 all-time 100m hurdler in Canadian history. My journey has taught me the power of resilience and the importance of believing in myself, no matter the obstacles.

I play softball professionally with Athletes Unlimited and was introduced to this EYP Performance journal this past summer while playing! I’ve always wanted to journal- but feel like I’ve always needed a little guidance, which is why I love this journal so much! My husband is an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for football at The University of Florida, and I am the campus dietitian here. We really pride ourselves on being a safe space for our guys to come as they are, and we will love them where they are at.

Now that I have found your perfect journal, I will give them as a gift from my husband and I to any of our football players that have to have surgery or have a major setback/injury
