The Couple That Trains Together
There can be no doubt that the athletic abilities of both Ricky and Allison play a big role in their shared passion, drive and discipline to exceed at what they do. The couple often enjoys working out together, pushing the other to get the most out of their workouts and simultaneously getting some quality time in together. This can be useful on days when motivation and morale are a little low, and as they can both perk each other up respectively, they make a mean match.
A Recognised Voice For Women’s Sport
Although her days of serious pole vault training may be over, Allison still does what she can to be a voice for women’s sports. She knows all too well how much of a struggle it can be to be a young athlete, especially as a female, and as research suggests, there is a lot that can be done to help up-and-coming athletes to realise their potential through a gentle mix of being pushed and supported. A recent Instagram post references that girls are twice as likely to drop out of sports when they turn 14 than boys are. She mentioned that she wants to inspire young girls to redefine what it means to persevere, be powerful, and to excel in the field they are passionate about.
