So injuries have been a very um big obstacle to overcome . But , uh , you know , my advice to younger athletes would probably be to just focus on recovery , even if you're not injured , go in , get some ice , get some cupping , like , it really , it really does help to , you know , be ahead of injuries because if I would have done that , maybe that wouldn't have happened and set me back so much .

So when I was 16 , I tore my Achilles , and then um my freshman year of college , I tore my ACL . So injuries have been a very um big obstacle to overcome . But , uh , you know , my advice to younger athletes would probably be to just focus on recovery , even if you're not injured , go in , get some ice , get some cupping , like , it really , it really does help to , you know , be ahead of injuries because if I would have done that , maybe that wouldn't have happened and set me back so much .
So I think that gave me like a sense of accountability . Um , so the best advice that I would say that I've been given by a previous coach is to go back and do it again , as many times as it takes to go back and do it again . So it looks good or so that you do things to the best of your ability , go do that .
Um , I think form is , is so , so , so important and so underrated . Like if you're doing things the right way . Um , you know , you're going to get better results as opposed to if you do things your own way .
Hopefully we'll get there this weekend , maybe if not this weekend , next weekend , but we Working towards that goal . My team is very supportive . They support everyone on the team and it's like regardless of , you know , if you would like somebody outside of track or like if you like there's no drama , it's like very a very professional friendship and I think that's what It is so important on a team is that your teammates hold you accountable and they have that level of professionalism and you're not all just like buddies and you're all like , you know , they're not , they're not influencing you to do anything bad or , you know , they're , they want the best for you and that's so important .
