Kwiminyaka ekhokelela kwii-Olimpiki zasehlotyeni zika-2012 kunye no-2016- kwaye ngexesha leMidlalo ngokwazo - umthambo u-Aly Raisman ukhumbula ukuchitha iintsuku zakhe esenza izinto ezintathu nje: ukutya, ukulala noqeqesho. "Kwakudinisa ngokwenyani, kwaye yayihlobo ngathi yonke into ijikelezwe zijimnastics, utshilo Imilo. "Kukho uxinzelelo oluninzi, kwaye ndikhumbula nje ukuba ndinexhala lonke ixesha."

Inkqubo engqongqo yayingenantsuku zokuphumla, nayo. Kuyo yonke le midlalo, uRaisman uthi yena kunye neqela lakhe baqhele ukuzilolonga kabini ngemini, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, babenokuziqhelanisa nje nomdlalo omnye - owawuthathwa ngokuba "lusuku lokuphumla." Ukulala ikati yayisesona sixhobo siphambili sokubuyisela sikaRaisman, kodwa ukuzinika yonke i-R & R awayeyidinga phakathi kokhuphiswano lwasemva nokubuyela umva kwakungekho lula. Uthi: “Xa udiniwe [ngokomzimba], ngamanye amaxesha uye udinwe nasengqondweni. "Awuzithembanga, kwaye awuziva nje wena. Ndicinga ukuba enye yezinto ezingathethwayo kakhulu kukuba elinye lawona malungu anzima kukuziva uphumle kwaye ulungele ukhuphiswano."

Ukudibanisa ingxaki kukuba uRaisman wayengenazo izixhobo ezaneleyo zokukhathalela impilo yakhe yengqondo, kwaye akazange aqonde ukuba unengxaki kangakanani nayo, uyachaza. “Ndandifumana unyango olwahlukileyo emva kokuzilolonga, kodwa ndandingaqondi ukuba kufuneka ndinyamekele inxalenye yengqondo- hayi nje ukuqakamisa unyawo lwam ukuba ndonzakele eqatheni,” utsho owafumana imbasa yeOlimpiki izihlandlo ezithandathu. "Ndicinga ukuba njengoko iimbaleki zithetha, kokukhona kuya kudala amathuba okuba abanye iimbaleki baxhaswe [ngokwengqondo], kodwa ngenene bekungekho nto ingako kuthi...ndinqwenela ukuba bendinazo ezininzi izixhobo endinazo ngoku. " (Enye imbaleki evakalisa inkxalabo yabo ngoku: UNaomi Osaka.)

Nangona isiphelo seMidlalo sihlala sifika ngokuncwina okukhulu kunye nexesha elithile lokuphumla, uRaisman, othe wathatha umhlala phantsi ngokusemthethweni kwi-gymnastics ngo-2020, uthi ukudinwa kwakhe akukapheli ngokupheleleyo. "Ndisaziva ngathi oko ndaphinda ndaqala ukuqeqesha ii-Olimpiki zika-2016, umzimba wam awuzange uve ngokufanayo," utshilo."Ndicinga ukuba bendixakeke kakhulu-kwaye zininzi ezinye izinto ngaphandle kwesixa soqeqesho endilwenzileyo-ke ngoku ndizama nje ukuzinika ixesha lokuba ndiphinde ndiphumle. Ngokuqinisekileyo yinkqubo." (Ngo-2017, uRaisman nabanye abenza umthambo beza ngaphambili betyhila ukuba babephethwe gadalala ngokwesondo ngugqirha weqela laseMelika i-Gymnastics uLarry Nassar.)

Kule mihla, uRaiman uthatha lula kumzimba ongaphambili, egxile ekoluleni, ukuhambahamba ekutshoneni kwelanga, nakwizihlandlo ezinqabileyo.ukhetha ukuzilolonga, enze ii-Pilates-i-degree-180 yokujika kwindlela enzima yomsebenzi wakhe wokuzivocavoca. "Andikwazi ukwenza [iiPilates] yonke imihla, njengoko ndingathanda, kuba andinamandla okwenza oko," utshilo. "Kodwa i-Pilates indincede kakhulu ekusebenzeni kwam kwaye nasengqondweni, nayo, kuba ndiyayithanda indlela endinokujonga ngayo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zomzimba wam, kwaye iyandinceda ukuba ndizive ndomelele kwaye ndizithembile."

Nangona uRaisman engayifumananga yonke inkxaso awayeyifuna kulo lonke ixesha lomsebenzi wakhe wokuzivocavoca, uyaqinisekisa ukuba isizukulwana esilandelayo siyakwenza. Ngeli hlotyeni, usebenza njengoMyili weNkqubo yeGymnastics eWoodward Camp, apho aqeqesha iimbaleki eziselula kwaye enceda ukuphinda acinge ngenkqubo yomthambo. “Bekumnandi kakhulu kwaye kumnandi ukukwazi ukunxibelelana nabantwana-abanye babo bandikhumbuza ndisemncinci,” utshilo uRaisman. Ngaphandle kwezemidlalo, u-Raisman ukwadibana no-Olay, okhuthaza amantombazana e-1,000 ukuba baphonononge imisebenzi ye-STEM kunye ne-Million Women Mentors, ukusasaza igama ngokubaluleka kwengcebiso. "Ndikhuthazwa kakhulu ngabantu abazama ukutshintsha ihlabathi, kwaye ndicinga ukuba ukufumana ithuba lokuvumela abafazi abaninzi ukuba bathathe inxaxheba kwelo hlabathi kubaluleke kakhulu," wongezelela.

Kwakhona kwi-ajenda kaRaisman: Ukufumanisa ukuba ungubani na ngaphandle kwejimnastics, angayenza njani eyona nguqulelo ibalaseleyo kuye, kunye nezenzo ezizakumnika amandla kunye noxinzelelo aludingayo, uyacacisa. I-Olympian isasebenza kwimibuzo emibini yokuqala ekhoyo, kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ukucima iTV kunye nokufunda kwindawo yokuhlambela ngaphambi kokulala endaweni yoko, ukusika iswekile ngaphandle kokutya kwakhe, kunye nokuchitha ixesha kunye nomntwana wakhe uMylo wenze iqhinga kule yokugqibela. . "Ndicinga ukuba xa ndiziva ndikhululekile, ndiye ndazixakekisa, kungoko ndizama nje ukufumana indlela yokufika apho ngokungaguquguqukiyo."
