So it was always harped on like , are you being a good person ? Are you making the right choices ? Like who are you as a person ?
What am I gonna be successful wherever I am ? And you need to trust that you choose where you're gonna go because you've thought it through clearly and you will be successful anywhere you go . And especially if you pick a great school and you trust that you picked good academics , mixed with good athletics and you've checked all the boxes that are important to you that wherever you end up , you will be fine .
Like , it's very rewarding to see like your work , um , carry over into people , kind of wanting to reciprocate that back . So it's , it's scary and it's , it changes a lot of your life and it has big decisions on it , but it's important to recognize that you , you earned that and that's something that you get to enjoy , even though it's stressful . And yeah , it's just , it's really , it's interesting , but it's cool .
And then , so I was doing that track and then June 15th , my sophomore year came and Michigan reached out and a few schools reached out and Michigan just is , has always been the perfect fit and it just really stuck and everything fell into place from there . But the recruiting process is interesting because you think of it as this really scary , big life changing moment . But honestly , it's kind of rewarding because you get a chance to have the coaches that you've worked in front of and gone to all these showcases in front of come back and say like , hey , you did really well , like , hey , I'd love to like , have you come in and I'd love to have a call with you .
And I think letting myself know that no matter what was thrown my way that I would be ok . I think that's , it takes a lot of pressure off of you to know that you'll be successful no matter where you end up .
