154. World-Class Tumbler Ashley Matern on Triumph and the Power of Not Giving Up

Ashley Matern may not be a household name—yet—but her story is one of the most powerful we've ever shared on the Especially for Athletes podcast. A world-class tumbler, Ashley has faced the highest highs and the lowest lows in one of the most demanding sports in the world. After a devastating leg injury in 2023—featuring a cracked tibia and torn ligaments—most assumed her career was over. But Ashley knew she wasn't done. This episode dives deep into her comeback story: from missing World Championship teams since 2019… to becoming the 2024 U.S. Tumbling Champion and earning her place back on the world stage. Her message to young athletes is clear and unforgettable: "Don't close the door on yourself. If there's still gas in the tank, make someone else close the door—you don't shut it on yourself." Highlight Moment: "The joy after the absolute antithesis of joy." – a commentator, watching Ashley celebrate with her coach after her winning run.
