And everything is kind of just a stepping stone towards your goal . There's a lot of really important things that develop an athlete that all go into training , especially this summer and as of late I've really been focused on nutrition and Overall well rounded health , um , just sleeping enough , getting enough nutrients enough protein , and just keeping an overall active lifestyle even outside of your school workouts , your school practices , just going for walks , going to other workout classes and kind of just being able to maintain that balance of both athletics and healthy lifestyle . So I like to cook a lot .
The technical play and more of the development and again that progress rather than the end result because if I stick to the process , focus on the technique then ultimately the result's going to come . There's a lot of challenges through all of athletics , I think . One I've faced the most is just reoccurring injuries , especially in my transition to beach volleyball .
I've always on the academic side been more into STEM , and honestly it was because of my involvement in sports and injuries actually , which led me to go into biomedical engineering , which is what I'm currently studying at USC . And I really want to take that opportunity to bring it more into the sports community after I'm done with school and I want to work in prosthetics and overall just making better opportunities for anyone who wants to compete in sport whether they have some sort of limitation physically or just yeah something that doesn't allow them to have the same opportunity as as other people . I want to give everyone that same opportunity so they can see .
I think it's very important paying attention to personal brand . I'm working on a lot more this year , but I think overall in college athletics , especially people from the outside get such a perception of the athletes based on their performance , and there's a lot of judgments kind of made about the athlete themselves even though the fan doesn't know the athlete . So I think NIL and building your brand is a very important thing to use because you can show everyone around you not only who you are as an athlete but who you are as a person and how that .
Obviously the best program possible , but overall USC as a whole , it just pushes you to be the best , whether that's on the court , on the field , in the classroom , and just also as a person . They want you to be the best person , athlete , and student possible , and they really just give you every opportunity to do that . One of the like big things that drew me in aside from being at the school itself is USC just sets you up so well for the future .
