49-Adele Jackson Gibson-on connecting with her body through Crossfit, a beauty pageant, and shaving off her hair

In today’s episode, I interview Adele Jackson Gibson. Adele is a Crossfitter, sports model, and editor for The Players Tribune editor, (one of my favorite sports athlete news sources because it provides stories that come directly from the athletes, told by the athletes, as opposed to the media skewing their stories)  Adele played goalkeeper at Duke University.  She then attended New York University and earned a masters degree in journalism.  After college, Adele discovered crossfit and fell in love with how it allowed her to test her limits and give purpose to her workouts.  As you’ll hear,  Adele is not afraid to be herself and is constantly pushing her boundaries.  In our conversation Adele talks about: -why she shaved her hair off and moved to Japan  -how crossfit gave her confidence to embrace her muscular, sprinter-type body -her experience entering a Miss America beauty pageant and how she was treated different based on her physical appearance   Click HERE to become a part of Friday Feelz Click HERE for a list of the 10 books I believe ever female athlete MUST read.
