Um , some goals I have in my swimming career is make it qualified to national level meets sometime in my career here at Youngstown . And I have certain time goals that I would like to accomplish . Uh , by the end of my career here at Youngstown , I would like to achieve a B standard for the NCAA .
Being able to communicate is a very important piece of succeeding as a student , an athlete , and in life in general . Um , some goals I have in my swimming career is make it qualified to national level meets sometime in my career here at Youngstown . And I have certain time goals that I would like to accomplish .
At the end of the day , if you truly believe in yourself and you have discipline and you have a structured regime . You're going to improve and you're going to accomplish your goals and make sure that you use the people around you to help you they'll lift you up . They want to lift you up , so you need to give them the opportunity though .
So that's how I was able to do it . You gotta stay disciplined , gotta have goals , you gotta wake up every day with motivation and , uh , you get what you gotta gotta get done . Just relying on the people around you , they're there to support you .
Uh , on my visit , I really liked , and before my visit , I was communicating with Brad , my coach , and he seemed like a really good guy and . Most importantly , someone that was going to help me accomplish my goals and become the best swimmer and student athlete that I could be . And then , uh , the people , my teammates , um , the faculty that met on my visit , they just were , it's not very nice , authentic , and Youngstown State , it's a mid-size school , so it's big enough that you're going to have the opportunity and equipment and that sort of thing to succeed , but it's small enough that people , faculty , coaches , they can connect with you on a personal level .
