Spoiled brat.

'When you're twisting in a somersault, sometimes your brain just malfunctions and you get lost in the air. You literally don't know where you are, how many twists you've done, how many twists you still have to do... That is such a scary feeling. With the "twisties" comes a huge amount of anxiety'
I love sport and have tried many, mainly I'm a runner, but I could never, ever do the vault.
