I kind of need time to Muddy the water and then let it clear between each practice or else I just get overloaded . So that's how I approach training right now . Another huge concept I like to think about is the Goldilocks zone .
Um , hedge against your weaknesses , I guess , and really amplify your strengths . Secondly , train in the Goldilocks zone . A lot of people are lazy , but a lot of athletes work too hard and are too hard on themselves .
Through the Olympic qualification process for beach volleyball , there was a lot of me looking up to these great athletes that I've watched my whole life on YouTube that I'm finally able to play , and I would think , oh , I want to play like them . I'd see how they train behind the scenes . I'd see other things and And I really tried to play like them .
So I'm hoping with my roommates to do a podcast of just what our men's volleyball team does like . We do a lot of scouting , film review practice , weights . We have team jokes , random , we have like 4th meal .
And so it was kind of about deception and smoke and mirrors , and I that stuck with me and I implemented a lot of what he taught me into my beach volleyball game . In trainings , I approach it uniquely because I'm very heady , I guess , in how I play . Um , things need to be for me to play at my best and improve quickly , very controlled , kind of like a lab experiment .
