Um they're looking for athletes that are willing to initiate the conversations and to um you know , go after it and , and definitely wanna work with them . So that , that would be my advice .
So for me , it was never um difficult doing that . Um advice in that area would be um organizational skills . I would definitely say that organization is very big as far as balancing your athletics and your academics um as a student athlete .
So , um , one of my high school coaches actually told me that and I , I still think about that to this very day just to calm the nerves and just to know that I belong in that environment with top competitors . So that's definitely some advice that I've kept and I hope others will keep as well . I would say the biggest challenge or one of the challenges that I've definitely faced is injuries .
Yeah , absolutely . Um , the best advice I would give someone going through that process would just be to give your all every day . You're gonna have some athletes out there that are slacking , however they could already be on scholarship .
So that was definitely important for me . I would say the best advice that I received , um , in my sport is to never compare yourself to what is on paper . So an example of that is comparing yourself to someone else's personal record .
