A Decade of SHIFT: 10 Years of Must Hear Gymnastics Advice

Today is SHIFT's 10 Year Anniversary. In October 2013, I wrote a blog post about hip flexor stiffness in gymnasts. 10 years later, SHIFT has grown into an international company and brand I feel has helped a lot of people.

I sat down with my best friend Eva Shute for 3 hours to reflect back on the 10 years with the biggest lessons we've learned.
