Jessica Penne Stays Focused On The Present


“Six months into recovery I was almost clear and I rebroke (my sesamoid), so they put me in a boot for about 5 to 6 months,” Penne said. “It was the longest that I had ever been immobilized and unable to train. It was tough coming back. It was tough, building up the cardio, the reflexes, the timing, but I feel really good. I feel like there’s always a silver lining. I was able to do what I could and focus on other things. I focused on lifting because that was the only physical activity I could do. I focused on my real estate work and building my podcast with my teammate and friend Angela Hill.”

Being able to have the support system that she has, including Hill, has helped Penne, not only in her time away while recovering from injury, but also throughout her entire MMA career. She mentioned that this fight camp wasn’t the easiest, as she had to get back into fight shape once again, but being able to have female training partners throughout this camp was something that gave her strength and something that she relied on. 

“Coming up in the sport, I really didn’t have females to train with, but it’s so beneficial,” Penne said. “I have Angela Hill, I have Ashley Yoder, just to name a couple, so it’s been really wonderful the way we support each other and get to be there for each other. It’s amazing support that I haven’t had before.”
