Jona Xiao Instagram – Honored to be invited to the National Team USA 🏈 trials! 🇺🇸 Regardless of the outcome, I’m so excited for the growth of flag and its inclusion in the Olympics.
Here’s a throwback to that one time I represented the country – and it didn’t go well. I was very new to the 5s format and performed poorly and felt like I let down my country, my teammates, and those who have supported me.
But every setback is a setup for a comeback.
I’ve been working on my leadership in different areas of my life, my craft, football IQ, and mindset (including embracing that some things are beyond our control, but our response is entirely within our grasp). Grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and bounce back stronger. Here’s to focusing on what I can control and turning disappointments into stepping stones.
Huge shoutout to my amazing coaches and teammates for believing in me, and to fierce defenses that challenge me to keep growing.
