This is the areas that I'm not so good at , um , and really dive into those areas of my skill , skill set um to be able to focus on and make those better . So that way other people can exploit them a piece of advice . I , I would wanna give myself , um , or any younger athlete for that .
Ok over the course of the season , you only scrip once and that's , that's basically minimalizing anything that you can do because we don't have 6070 plays over a course of a game to , to be able to make up for that one play that we miss like it's , you gotta do it now and that it all starts in practice and all starts doing those little things right on your own when everybody's not watching because specialists , you , you only have so many opportunities . One thing that I noticed that helped me get a little bit further in my career um and just put that little step up above anybody else that was there is I focus on the details . So I wasn't necessarily always the biggest or the fastest , but I knew what I could do good and I knew what I was the best at and I really dove into those , those factors , whether it be footwork or whether it be the smallest details of hand placement .
I , I would wanna give myself , um , or any younger athlete for that . That case says I know there's gonna be certain times in , in your athletic career that are , are gonna be tempting to be able to go different route or go different ways or anything like that . Um But stick with it , it's gonna be able to pay off .
I , I would say to all the younger athletes out there , um I know that there's always this hype around D one and there's always this hype to be able to be at the highest level . But don't ever put yourself down , don't ever put yourself beside someone else . Don't compare yourself to anybody else , compare yourself to you and only you because at the end of the day , the biggest competition is the one that you look in the mirror and the person that you have to compete against every day is yourself .
The whole point of being a specialist is you're , you're only gonna get so many opportunities , taking those opportunities and making it . Ok over the course of the season , you only scrip once and that's , that's basically minimalizing anything that you can do because we don't have 6070 plays over a course of a game to , to be able to make up for that one play that we miss like it's , you gotta do it now and that it all starts in practice and all starts doing those little things right on your own when everybody's not watching because specialists , you , you only have so many opportunities . One thing that I noticed that helped me get a little bit further in my career um and just put that little step up above anybody else that was there is I focus on the details .
