But I couldn't , I had to have my inhaler on hand So that was probably a big thing , staying confident . Um And realizing that you're there for a reason and taking advantage of like all the opportunities that are given to you . I think when I was younger and like grow uh going into like high school , just all those experiences I had , I think I took them for granted a little bit and didn't use it to like my full advantage .
So for me getting them to notice me , it was more so just like through emails and like film that I had . So just like reaching out to them consistently um asking them for their advice , just like what they think I could do better . And yeah , I don't know , looking back , I wish I went into the things I did more confident and realizing that like I was there for a reason .
Um , and I think , like , the biggest thing I learned from that is you're not gonna just stay like the little fish in the big pond . Like you can work your way up and it's gonna take time , but you're there for a reason . And you also just have to remember that for me , like , um , being on social media , it's , it's just like , been something I've been doing for so long .
So I think just knowing that there's an audience out there that is interested in what you're doing can like , help you , you know , get , get into it . Um It can like give you ideas on content to make because like at the end of the day , like you're gonna have an audience and there's gonna be people that don't like it sometimes too , but you just have to um be confident with yourself because at the end of the day , like you're getting your name out there and it could benefit you in so many other ways . Uh growing your social media can help you grow your nil deals , it could help you just become a more personable person .
And yeah , I don't know , looking back , I wish I went into the things I did more confident and realizing that like I was there for a reason . I'm given this opportunity for a reason and you just want to make the most out of everything because college is gonna come so quick and you wanna make the most of it and you wanna make um your journey like matter , I think um my high school coach was definitely my biggest mentor . He was also my club coach and I think he kind of just , he always like , encouraged me to just stay confident , like no matter your age , your height , like your role on the team , you're there for reason and you just have to stay confident and stay consistent .
