“When you really don’t put your worth on how you do but instead on how you respond to how you do… Wow! Think about how much more fun everything is!”— Chari Hawkins

Chari Hawkins (IG: @_charihawkins) is a Team USA Heptathlete competing on an international level. As she describes during our conversation, Rachel’s drive to pick up a rope really started with utility. Chari uses jump rope for her training, but she’s primarily focused on her sport, so we spend a little less time on jump rope specifics. However, Chari brings a lot to the table with fitness knowledge and mental strengthening, and she definitely delivers in this episode. We discuss a lot, including 7 hour workouts, using jump rope for volleyball training, the importance of recovery, pursuing progress vs perfection, and more.
