Who Needs Toes Anyway!
Manage episode 297904242 series 2412785
We had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Jordyn Sloan a former competitive gymnast born with no toes. This amazing young lady has amniotic band syndrome meaning her feet are about the size of her hands yet this has never stopped her from being a competitive athlete. Jordyn speaks openly about her training and experience with different coaches as she learned how to use alternative muscles in her body to compensate for her lack of toes. She also talks about the prevalence of eating disorders in the sport of gymnastics and how she developed anorexia after retiring from competition. Jordyn is a true inspiration!
Happy listening.
