For me . A few challenges that I faced in my sport one , the biggest one was probably injury . I think aches and pains are a given when you're a top prospect athlete and learning to take the time to rest and recover and do what I needed to keep my body at its best to be able to perform at my best was a big learning curve for me .
And I think that's been a big thing that I had to learn coming in as a freshman . It's definitely takes a lot of time management skills to be able to balance being ad one athlete and also being at a school that's so high level academically . But one thing that I definitely do is rely on tutors if I need extra help , I'm not afraid to ask for it .

Another thing I think was practicing with intention .
A big piece of advice that I received from . One of my favorite coaches from club gymnastics during high school was to trust the process that progress isn't linear , ups and downs are gonna happen . It's part of the experience .
And I think part of the process is you're gonna have days that are better than others and you have to learn to stick it out and you have to recognize why you're doing what you're doing . And so my biggest piece of advice would be finding your why at a young age so that every day you can remind yourself why you're doing the sport that you're doing and why you're putting yourself through all this hard work .
