I heard you talk about the uh the recruitment process , uh . Did you reach out to the people for the recruitment ? Did you reach out and you just , you know , one more time , say , you know , you know , my understanding is that he talk to you when you're 15 or something like that .
All right . I heard you talk about the uh the recruitment process , uh . Did you reach out to the people for the recruitment ?
Um , it could be something motivational , it could be something excellentos like training , it could be wish I talked to more people or just anything that can come to mind for that . For me , I would say I , there's never you can never start too early in the recruitment process . You can always be late in the recruitment process , but Um , you can never start too early and so I'd say if you , if you're even remotely interested in competing in collegiate athletics , I say start now .
You're practicing for 4 to 5 hours a day , which includes recovery time , and you're really , it's almost like a second job , and I say as an , you know , as an incoming freshman who is interested in competing at the collegiate level , um , just know that this is something that you must commit yourself 100% to . Um , and if this is something that you're truly passionate about , I like , go for it , um , give it everything that you've got , and even in the recruitment process , if you're discouraged , if you see other times or or people who or other times on the websites that you don't think you can reach , I don't , don't let that get to you , but instead believe in yourself and just give it a try . If you really , really , really want this , like .
I go Say again . All right , um , moving forward a little bit , um , can you describe your recruitment process and , uh , initial interactions with college coaches , and , uh , maybe speak to some things you did to stand out in recruitment of um things you did physically like with training and , um , with your performance , um , on the track and also things , uh , I guess maybe off . Off the field , uh , like , uh , getting yourself into like maybe that could be like you're doing with the coaches or uh something like that .
