And I think if you have a great attitude and if you're confident in yourself , it's gonna bring a great attitude and great environment onto the team that you're gonna be on . So I think they recruit you more as a person than more as an athlete . And I think that as long as you're succeeding in your sport , but you're keeping your attitude high and you're being positive and you're bringing great energy , they're going to recruit you and they're gonna see you more as an athlete and just more as a person that they want on their team .
Yeah . So I was recruited at a very young age . I committed to Michigan when I was 13 years old actually .

I have so many reasons why Michigan , but I guess the balance between academics and athletics are so amazing that no other school really has such amazing academics and such amazing athletics that are just both on the same field .
But I tried to be very personable and I tried to make meaningful connections with the coaches over the phone because I think if you're personable and if you're confident in yourself , then that , that helps you get into great relationships with certain coaches . And I think just making those connections is real important and just being recruited as a whole . I think also asking all the questions that you have is so important because no one , no one is here not to help you .
Since I've gotten here , I've really focused on being present and staying in the moment . And I think everything as a student athlete gets very overwhelming , especially in the recruiting process in the competition field and in the classroom . So I think everything can get very overwhelming if you take everything day by day , second by second hour .
