Unbelievable: Sydney McLaughlin Reveals Shocking Message Regarding Her….

“I wanted to intentionally be very honest, and I think that’s what people relate to most, is the vulnerability and the authenticity. And I wanted to do it for the young person out there who maybe feels like they don’t have anyone to relate to in a certain way of just like going through everyday struggles,”she said.

“And when you see athletes, entertainers, performers, it’s hard to relate to them at times. But I want people to know that now we all struggle. We all have issues that we go through and battles that we’re facing. And, you know, as a young girl, as a young woman, now, there are still things that you have to work through. And I think that authenticity is really what connects with people,” she added.

“I was really afraid of what was going to happen. It seemed like the end of the world if I didn’t get to the top of the podium. Honestly, I robbed myself of an opportunity. I don’t know what would have happened, but I really didn’t want to find out. I left Rio with the feeling that I had left something behind,” she said.
