, we rode along with these three young sports superstars as they went about their workout routines. Here, each girl shares just what it takes, mentallyDashDividers_1_500x100When Janine Gordon, 22, went to play college soccer, she quickly learned that the sport was not for the faint of heart."My freshman year...I got such bad shin splints, they turned into stress fractures. In pre-season, if one of us didn’t pass our fitness test, we’d all have to run the field 20 times.
But the work doesn’t come without compromises."It’s tough when I see everyone else having fun," she says."Some of my friends who don’t play sports might go out and have a sleepover, and I have to go home. Or I leave the sleepover at 6 a.m. I still do normal teenage things, but I don’t have as much time." Even still, she says she's grateful for the experience, citing opportunities to travel and learn about different cultures.
But even if launching oneself through the air is meant to look graceful and undemanding, the getting-there requires tons of strength, endurance, and preparation. Aside from days she has ballet at 8 a.m., Generalova’s mornings kick off at 9:30 a.m. with one-on-one training with her coach until 1 p.m. Then, from 4 to 9 p.m., she’s running her routine, stretching, or doing light conditioning."Pain is temporary," Generalova says she tells herself when the going gets tough.
