And that will correlate to your athletics . So I think growing up with really good mentors , um , my club had these amazing coaches that really pushed me in my sport , but also made sure that I was growing up and becoming a respectful young woman . And yeah , that really just set me up for life , especially sleep is huge .
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 .
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 . Like , it's very rewarding to see like your work , um , carry over into people , kind of wanting to reciprocate that back .
I'm a junior on soccer at the University of Michigan . My club was really big about like who you are as a person and the way you carry yourself and the way you interact with others comes above how you perform in your sport . So it was always harped on like , are you being a good person ?
A million miles an hour do as much as you can . It's like , ok , what do I need to be successful ? And I think that's a hard switch coming from club playing where it's like I need to every single thing I can and I need to whatever , but switching to college , it's like , ok , what's gonna make me my best in this moment ?
