Um , as you climb that ladder , um , of reaching a higher and higher level , um , and I'm at the point where just finding , uh , small things in my day to day routine and doing small things that add up to big results over time has proven to be the most , um , beneficial for me . And I also said this earlier , but that game of comparison between you and the person next to you , I think when you're in an athletic in an athletic environment as as a female specifically , um , competitiveness is so important and so essential to pushing yourself and those around you , but I think as a female , at times that competitiveness between women can turn can turn toxic and feel like it's me against her , um , especially in a team environment . And I think continuing to work on that aspect of , yes , it's , it's me against her , but it's for a bigger purpose and we're doing me against her because we're working toward a bigger goal and an iron sharpens iron environment .
Um , so I'm at a point where I'm just trying to focus on my own journey and continuing like to do everything I can to be successful , um , try to bring as many people under that circle as well and lift others up , and not get overly caught up in comparing my journey to other people's because everyone looks looks different in their process , um , has , has different goals , has different things that work work for them . Um , and I struggle with that mental aspect of comparison , and am I doing enough ? Are they doing more than me ?
But I've learned as a youth player and now bringing it to the college level , that consistency is by far the most important thing , where it's better to invest in yourself every single day , even if it's just for 10 to 20 minutes at a time , um , rather than putting big blocks of time , big chunks of time , um , at random times where they might seem bigger , but , um , over time , I feel like investing in in your self-consistency . Consistently is going to be the best thing to reap results and see the improvement you want on and off the field . Yeah , I'm kind of in the same boat .
That's the way that me and her are going to reach those goals is by at times . It may feel like me against her , even though in the long run , it's really me and her together trying to reach this bigger goal . Yeah .
