Description
Alex Hedrick was 25 and pursuing her Olympic dreams when she felt called to serve a full-time Latter-day Saint mission. Despite the difficult decision, she left wrestling behind for 18 months to serve in New York.
Now she's back on Team USA, with her sights set on the 2028 Olympics. But her mission changed how she sees success.
“The Lord wants me to help with the gathering of Israel. He needs me on his team.”
