But that was really hard and that took a lot , but still working on it . But yeah , my recruitment process was kind of funky . I mean , I skipped a grade .
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 .
My first summer was actually my freshman year of college ever in my life , which is great . And I was going through the recruiting process in soccer . We have this rule that you can't talk to a coach until your junior year .
And if I could tell my younger self something , I would say that you are where you're supposed to be . So I think growing up and doing all this extra work and going through all the recruiting and playing in club , like you try and you're so worried about , am I doing enough ? What am I doing ?
We have this rule that you can't talk to a coach until your junior year . So the summer after your sophomore year and that rule wasn't established yet until I it was kind of my time to get recruited . And so the whole time before I was talking to some schools , they had asked me , are you able to change your class ?
