Yes, consistency and discipline are indeed key factors in achieving success, as you mentioned. By consistently investing in yourself and making small, incremental choices, you build a solid foundation for long-term progress. It's also important to stay disciplined in areas such as nutrition, sleep, and daily physical movement. By focusing on these small things and maintaining consistency, you are more likely to see the results you desire, both on and off the field. Keep up the great work!

Um , in terms of winning an NCAA championship , all of those goals , you're only going to accomplish them by bringing in people , bringing people with you on this journey , and that's something my coaches have continued to pound into me is it's very important to have big goals yourself , but making sure you're bringing as many people on that circle as well . Yeah , for me it's just consistency and discipline , um , which can sound very broad . 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 .

Yeah , I'm kind of in the same boat . I think a lot of it is still consistency and discipline and making the small incremental choices that build up to big results over time . So I really just try to do the small things well and stay consistent with things like my nutrition , eating mostly clean whole foods , um , kind of following the 80/20 rule .

Or I'm not trying to , uh , completely overdo it and burn myself out with staying intensely attached to a certain regimen , I guess , but trying to make overall healthy , good choices , um , for my lifestyle . And like I said , stay consistent with nutrition , things like sleep , um , trying to move my body throughout the day , even on recovery days , like not pounding my body and doing a hard workout , but trying to listen to how It's feeling and still trying to move it around and just doing um small things every day that will lead up to big results over time . My biggest challenge , I think , to get here and something I still struggle with is most of the mental aspects when it comes to playing and competing at the highest , highest level , um , especially when I'm at the point I'm at now .
