👋 Hey, Speedsters!

Sometimes, all we need is a little Christmas miracle, don’t you think? Well, first off—A very Merry Christmas from all of us at Essentially Athletics!🎄 May the light in your life never fade, and even when it flickers, may you summon the spirit of Santa’s determination to bounce back stronger than ever. Just like the inspiring journey of Annie Tagoe, this season is a reminder that miracles happen when we keep pushing forward!

And did you know that Sebastian Coe’s athletic journey included overcoming a major health scare? Christmas Day is the perfect time to celebrate these incredible stories of resilience and miraculous comebacks and so we will!

Let’s dive in!
