Taking the Next Step

I know I promised that once I had completed my final season with MSU and was officially a Utah State athlete, I would share the complete story behind my transfer back to the Mothership.  This was not a decision that was made easily or taken lightly.  I have many friends at Montana State that I value a great deal, and am going to miss more than I can say.  It was my intention when I signed my NLI to complete my full five years of eligibility here, but sometimes things come up that you can never predict and you have to adapt accordingly.  Rather than address the reasons why I chose to transfer and dwell on the negativity, I would just like to clear up some misconceptions and rumors that are most definitely NOT why I chose to transfer.  If you feel as though this is not enough and would like to know all the nitty gritty details that led up to my leaving Bozeman, feel free to reach out and contact me in a person message.
I didn't choose to leave as a result of any disagreement I had with the coaches.  The individuals I worked with were understanding about my need to move on, and supported me through my final season of competition, even after I informed them of my decision to transfer, nor did I choose to leave because I thought I was superior to the individuals I worked and trained with in any way.  I adore the teammates I had at MSU, and consider them all to be admirable and hardworking women that I was privileged to be around.  I didn't make the decision to leave because of the size of the program, or due to any one injury or setback I experienced while there.  The decision I made came after serious consideration and a great deal of time and experiences in Bozeman.
I am eternally grateful to the friends and teammates at MSU who made the experience I had there a more enjoyable one.  Many of you supported me through this decision, even though it wasn't one that you wished for me, and I cannot state enough how helpful that was.  Those of you who stood by me, even after it became clear that I would be leaving this program, made my last semester with you much better than I ever could have hoped for.
Sometimes, even if it's terrifying, you just have to close your eyes and take the next step forward.
