When you read Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio’s Twitter bio, it includes “Journeying together with @CarlPasio.” What many might not know, is that Ashleigh’s husband, Carl, is an elite athlete who also had the potential to become a professional.
They moved to Europe in 2010 in pursuit of professional careers, but several setbacks left them questioning their choices. Ashleigh broke her collarbone 3 times in the space of a year while Carl ended in hospital after pushing a nutrition plan too far.
Ashleigh’s bronze medal in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, a medal she won by millimetres, would end up being the catalyst that put her on the career trajectory she’s enjoyed.
The medal proved she was onto something good and opened doors for her. It led to the decision of Carl playing a supporting role and them going all in for her career. In part 1 of this two-video series, Ashleigh and Carl talk openly about these experiences.
