About this listen

For sixteen-year-old Amanda Scott, the real competition isn't on the mat. It’s in the space between heartbeats, in the silence before the music starts, in the whisper of doubt that threatens to shatter her focus. The gym may be her sanctuary, but it is also her proving ground, where every move is judged not just by her discerning coach but by the relentless inner critic who asks if she’s perfect enough.

The glittering dream of the Olympics is a constant, shimmering distraction, but the path there is littered with invisible hurdles: the shadow of a rival whose confidence seems unbreakable, and the weight of sacrificing an everyday life for a shot at impossible glory. This is a story not just about mastering a triple twist, but about learning the fear that comes with it. The real fight isn't for a spot on the team, but for the unwavering belief that she belongs there at all.
