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.

Using Her Social Profiles For Good

Now that social media has a foothold in society, a lot of people are turning to platforms like Piterest and Instagram to get their fitness inspiration. These days, the #fitspo tag has over 60 million photos on Instagram. While the hype is real, Allison doesn’t like to play into that. Rather than flaunting herself during her gym workouts, she opts for photos that inspire people to lead more active lives for the benefit of their overall health. Her social media power, which once was the source of great frustration for her, has now turned to a platform she predominantly used for good.
