I try to have a schedule , but it doesn't really it doesn't really work out as much whenever I'm in the heat of the season or The semester , so I just try and roll out , stretch , take some ice baths every now and then whenever I get some time , especially after meets , I try and at least just take some downtime . So my biggest challenge , and I haven't really overcome this one yet , it's still a work in progress , staying mentally tough . That's been a big one for me .
I haven't really been given a lot of advice from my mentors . The main ones are just always like keep pushing or follow your dreams . My gymnastics coaches always gave me the advice to just keep going and staying disciplined with my sports .
That's been a big one for me . Just whenever I get to meets , everything likes to change on me , but So again , I haven't really overcome them , but my teammates are definitely just aiding in that recovery and slowly working at it each day , trying to remember why why I'm here and how much I love the sport instead of the results on a daily . I've been trying to just take , like , stay consistent with some things , trying to do some more like yoga , meditation or just doing some like journaling , writing down my thoughts , so I cannot , so I can more get out of my head and focus on what I'm here for .
Some of the things that probably just I picked up on from them was finding just the love of the sport again . Um , it can get tricky with everything , especially because we get so busy . So my teammates definitely aided in that process , just making sure we all have fun regardless of that .
Um it's hard because athletics is how I stay balanced with school , so that I really that as an outlet , but staying organized helps with my busy schedule that I have day to day and at least reminds me where I need to go when . From a young , like a university-wide , I see that everyone is trying to at least take advantage of the opportunities that are given to us . Um , we've had several meetings about different NIL companies and um platforms that we could do and seeing them take advantage of it is amazing .
