1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: If you had to toast to one thing from twenty 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: twenty three, what is it success? 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 2: Even after failure? 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Success even after failure. I feel like after failure is 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: like the biggest opportunity for success because more often than not, 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: of course failure in quotes because we know that it 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: teaches us something. But also it's like you're seemingly feeling 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: like you're at the bottom, right, So really there's only 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: going up from there.

It's usually one year 131 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: on one you're off of majors, and so like after 132 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, you like, I didn't get that loll 133 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: period of like you're world champion, you just go into 134 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: the next year and then it's immediately defend your title. 135 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: I didn't get what everyone else has where you have 136 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: that year where you're a world champion no matter what. 137 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: All year, I had to go straight into you got 138 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: to defend the title now like months later and you're like, 139 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: oh gosh, Like that's stressful.

I think 145 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: it's resulted in, like my training's a lot better. I 146 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: think it's been a smoother transition into my my preseason 147 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: for the Olympics now because I've gotten to have my 148 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: moment and now I'm like okay, and now I can 149 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: just ease back in the training. 150 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: When you say it was stressful, do you think that 151 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: stress was the culmination mostly of internal pressure or external pressure. 152 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: On nder internal I was talking about this was I 153 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: went to Malta to do just like talk to some 154 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: kids and do kind of like a thing there with 155 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: my coach, and I was talking to them and a 156 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: lot of them asked me like, oh, like how do 157 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 2: you deal with it? And I was like, it's something 158 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: like it's different for everybody, but I was like, I 159 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: find that I've surrounded myself with the perfect people. My 160 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: coach doesn't put pressure on me, my family's really nice 161 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: about it, like my my husband will future husband is 162 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: really great, and so most of my stress and pressure 163 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: comes from with it. And I think that's true for 164 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 2: most athletes because I I remember going into world like 165 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: all year. It wasn't even until I got to Worlds 166 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: when I finally kind of eased out of that. But 167 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: all year it's like you're the world champion. You have 168 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: to win, says who you know? Says me in my brain, 169 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: Like nobody said that anywhere, just me, Like to me, 170 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: I was like, you have to win. And then when 171 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 2: I didn't win just the one time, it was kind 172 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: of like dominos. 173 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: For a few months, like you just said just that 174 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: one time. It's like one performance depending on when it 175 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: happens in the course of your year or your career, 176 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: could do so much to or for you, depending on 177 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: how you look at it. 178 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. That's kind of like what happened 179 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: to me, Like I had an injury indoors, and then 180 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: when I lost that first indoor meet and had a 181 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: bad result, Immediately it was negative, right because you just, oh, 182 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 2: you just lost to a bunch of people, Like you 183 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: just threw really bad, like your distance was two meters 184 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 2: less than what you've ever thrown. So immediately the negative 185 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 2: comes in. You don't think, oh, well I'm injured, Oh 186 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 2: well I don't have to win every time. Oh the 187 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: rule of thirds, none of it, Like all of that 188 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: goes out the window because you immediately in your head 189 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: are now you're going to put yourself down, aren't you. 190 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: I love that rule of thirds reference. For those of 191 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: you that are unfamiliar, this is an Alexi papus gem. 192 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: It's a third of the time it's gonna be bad, 193 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 2: a third of the time it's gonna be okay, and 194 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: a third of the time it's gonna be good. 195 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: And when you divide it up in that way. In 196 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: that format, you realize that so many of us that 197 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: have this expectation that it's going to be really good 198 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of the time, we're kind 199 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: of fooling ourselves. So to have that amount of grace 200 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: and compassion to break it up in that rule of thirds, 201 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: it allows you to proceed with a much lighter conscience. 202 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. I think me and my coach, like, we 203 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: talked about this last time because I was kind of 204 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: talking about how I was having like the bad season, 205 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 2: you know, when things were terrible, but they weren't moving 206 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 2: in a way where you go, this girl's going to 207 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 2: defend her title and it's going to be amazing. And 208 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: we talked about it because of that, and my coach 209 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: is big on that. Like even just the other day, 210 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: my last training session was like really good, but the 211 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: one before that was like and my coach just said, 212 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: you know that was a bad one. Yeah, bad file 213 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 2: for now, put it in the bad file and then 214 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: we'll move on. I was like, yep. 215 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: And what's so interesting for those that don't have the context. 216 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: Chase mentioned that she has the American record for the 217 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: farthest shot put at twenty point seven to six meters, 218 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: So when she says, like I threw two meters short, 219 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: it's still like an inhuman amount of distance to make 220 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: that ball move. 221 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem too, is you get that one 222 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: distance and then all of a sudden, you hold your 223 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: weight to that distance or that time or that measurement. 224 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: You hold your entire like like self worth to that 225 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: as an athlete at least. And so instead of being like, oh, 226 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: if you peb'd every friggin time you went out there, 227 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: everyone would do this, right, because you just run off 228 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: into infinity until you're throwing to nothing that you're thrown 229 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: into space at that point. And so like, I mean, 230 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: you think about it in hindsight twenty twenty, isn't it, 231 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: But like in the moment, you're like, why am I 232 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: not throwing this measurement all the time? And it's like, 233 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: because that's your best. So there's a reason at your best. Sure, 234 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: you increase your best, but like you got to work 235 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: to that. But in your head you go, oh, my gosh, 236 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: why am I not write at my best all the time? 237 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: Because if you were, everyone would do everyone would do 238 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 2: it all the time, and people wouldn't look up to 239 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: you like because anybody could do it. 240 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: And especially when you get to this level where you 241 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: are the world champion and you have these back to 242 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: back wins, it's like you've really excelled at this point 243 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: beyond everyone else. So knowing that it's hard not to 244 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: want to keep going for more, but there also needs 245 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: to be an understanding that it took you your entire 246 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: career up to this point to get to this distance. 247 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Like that's such a like you don't think 248 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: of it like that to you, Like you just said that, 249 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: and I'm like, why don't I just go like girl, like, yeah, 250 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 2: it's it's cool now, but like you all this work 251 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: got to that. It wasn't like it just happened and 252 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: now you can just keep doing it because if it 253 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: was like that, it wouldn't have taken you fifteen years 254 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 2: to do it, wouldn't. 255 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: I feel as though sometimes when it comes to these 256 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: moments where we exceed even our wildest expectations of ourselves, 257 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: it feels like it's a fluke, and rather than getting 258 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: to a place where you're like, no, like I worked 259 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: my ass off, like I earned this distance, or I 260 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: earned this time in a marathon, or I earned this promotion. 261 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: It's like, no, like one day this thing just happened 262 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: to happen, and now it's like a new thing that 263 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: can be part of my story. 264 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's so true too. Like I just like 265 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: the way you said that. That like when sometimes you 266 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: say stuff like this happened last time too, but you 267 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: say something like resonates and I'm like, I'm gonna write 268 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: that down. I'm like, where's my comb I need my note. 269 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: But it wasn't a flukee tase. You worked for that. 270 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: You worked for that twenty point seven six. So, like 271 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: I said, big purpose of this episode to do some reflecting, 272 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: which well we are already knee deep in. So I'm 273 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna ask you the first question of the set here. 274 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: If you had to choose a theme of the last 275 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days, what theme would you choose? 276 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: To me? It kind of it's like a play on 277 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: words too, like the struggle to success, right, because there 278 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: was a struggle to it, but also I was struggling 279 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: and then I succeeded, So it's like kind of how 280 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: I feel about both of it, Like there is such 281 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: a struggle to success like that, it's like a fight 282 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 2: isn't it. But also I was struggling for like the 283 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: beginning like a majority of the year less year, I 284 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: would say with like how I was training, and pretty 285 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: much the overall my training was wasn't where it was 286 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: the previous year, So I wasn't feeling confident going into 287 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: like the biggest part of my career, which is Worlds. 288 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: But then you know, having it was like four weeks 289 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: with my coach of just like true training, like I've 290 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: never I think it was like the most locked in 291 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: I was I was ever, and I'm pretty sure my 292 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: coach as well, Like I think we were both so 293 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: locked in to being like forget the struggle, like let's 294 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: just go to do the one thing. And then I 295 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: think we did it, And like I think that's like 296 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: what I would call it, because it's it's like I said, 297 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: it's the struggle to the success, but also struggle and 298 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: then success, you know what I mean. So, yeah, I 299 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: think I'd totally put it there. 300 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. I think that the thing about 301 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: success is success most typically happens when you find confidence, right, 302 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: and confidence is gained by confidence, and you get confidence 303 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: from putting in the practice. So it's hard when the 304 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: reps that you're putting in, the practices and whatnot, they 305 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: feel as though they're not going how you want them 306 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: to go. But the reality is is that even though 307 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: it might not feel like it's hitting in the moment, 308 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: you're still doing enough work. You're putting in the reps 309 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: to get to a place where you can stand on 310 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: your own two feet. 311 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you need to write a book. 312 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: It's coming, girl, I'm coming. 313 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 2: I would read it multiple times a year. 314 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be called Struggle to Success, and then I'll 315 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: give you royalties. 316 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: That's fine, that's okay. So sometimes you say stuff, but 317 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: I'm just like, yes, I can't respond. I'm just like 318 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: period like. 319 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm just absorbing. I'm absorbing. So, knowing that your 320 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: theme for the year struggle to Success, what would you 321 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: say your proudest moment was from twenty twenty three? 322 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: Probably record. It was something I've fought for for a 323 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 2: long time, and I think the reason I'm so happy 324 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 2: about it as well is I've always been like someone 325 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 2: who trains further than their where they compete. So where 326 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 2: I was training wasn't exactly screaming you're about to throw 327 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: the furthest throw of your life. But I went into 328 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: that meet and I told my coach, and I told 329 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: my fiancee, and I told my friends, and I told 330 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 2: my mom, I'm gonna feel the National record like I'm 331 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: doing it, like I'm feeling it. I'm feeling myself. My 332 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: pre meat wasn't good. I still said, it doesn't matter, 333 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: like I'm doing this, And I think that's why I 334 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 2: would definitely call it my proudest moment. Worlds is obviously amazing, 335 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 2: but like there's certain things that you hold like dear. 336 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: Everyone has that one thing, and I think for me, 337 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 2: the National Record has been that one thing that like 338 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: I've just been looking at and being like I want that. 339 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 2: I want my name on the record book. I want 340 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 2: it to say in our and then my name right. 341 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: And so I think that was it was like a 342 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: really pivotal point I think for me as an athlete 343 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: as well. 344 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: At the time that I'm gonna get this today, this 345 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: is mine. Do you think that was strategic, like a 346 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: mental play or was that one hundred percent just simply 347 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: how you were feeling It. 348 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 2: Really was just like it was definitely not that just 349 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: I know I'm big on manifesting, but there was like 350 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: something different about that, Like there was something different where 351 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: I remember like feeling it like I felt like that 352 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: was gonna happen, Like it wasn't just I'm saying it. 353 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: I'm faking it till I make it right. It was 354 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: so real to me, And like the Diamond League was 355 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: like in the US, I was like, its just all 356 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: of it where it all happened. The Diamonague files in 357 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: the US. It's run by Nike, my sponsor. I'm doing 358 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff with them, Like we did all 359 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 2: this stuff and everything for this beauty thing, which is 360 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 2: very me like female athletes, female empowerment. It was this 361 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 2: whole thing, and I just there was just all this 362 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 2: environment that just like even fed more into that, and 363 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 2: I just felt it like it wasn't just like this 364 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: this is gonna happen, like where you're just like I'm 365 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: manifesting this thing. I like genuinely was like I'm getting it, 366 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,239 Speaker 2: Like I told everyone, well, I'm gonna get it. So 367 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: like ever and like all the people who this is 368 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 2: how I know I have the right people around me, 369 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: they all just said yeap, okay, yep, you are, like 370 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: we believe you. Like no one was like well, you 371 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: know I didn't get that. Well, have you thrown it 372 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: in training? Which is my favorite? And I was like, no, 373 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: I hadn't leading up to it, But I felt. 374 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: I love this for your most proud more of the 375 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: year because it's you being your whole, authentic self and 376 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: like showing up to this moment and being so in 377 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: alignment and being more than just Chase the athlete, like 378 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: identifying with all these other things that make you excited. 379 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: When you talked about getting to this place where you 380 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: truly believe that this was happening for you and you 381 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: were gonna get this record. I feel as though there 382 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: are probably people listening to this who have showed up 383 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: in some similar fashion to something that they were really 384 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: excited about, whether it was an athletic feat or not. 385 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: Have you been in a situation where you felt so 386 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: strongly like this before and it didn't go how you 387 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: had hoped? 388 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely like that. That's why it's it's so important 389 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 2: to me to like not let those failures in quotes, 390 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: as we say, because nothing's really a failure those learning experiences. 391 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: But you know what I mean, Like going into Doha 392 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, which is where I was like a favorite 393 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 2: I had. I think I had the Furthest throw of 394 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 2: the year or second Furthest and I'd won everything and 395 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: I I choked, And but I went into that like, oh, 396 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it, you know, manifesting and pushing it, 397 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: and it just didn't happen. But I think what's important 398 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 2: in that moment is not to be like, well, it 399 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: just doesn't happen if you don't do it, Like that's 400 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: not necessarily true, is it? Like like there's one thing 401 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 2: about like manifesting. But it was also my first major right, 402 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 2: so like I couldn't control the fact that, like there 403 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: was nerves I'd never experienced in my life. Like and 404 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: I think I've talked to people about that now, like 405 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 2: I'm throwing great, I'm throwing far right now, I've just 406 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: one world I threw. I threw one of the Furthest 407 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: stores in almost a decade, Like I'm in that zone, right, 408 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: But like I've talked to all my friends who are 409 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: Olympians and stuff. They're like the minute you walk in though, 410 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: and you're at the Olympics, it's different, isn't it, Like 411 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 2: and that's completely what happened. I'd competed against these people 412 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 2: all year and I was like, oh, I'm gonna win. 413 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna win. But that moment of my first like 414 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: world championship, those nerves and so like, That's why I 415 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 2: think it's good that I had that moment because instead 416 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: of being like, wow, I just failed, what I did 417 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: was realize, Okay, so now I'm going into my first Olympics, 418 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 2: same thing. But now I've learned from what happened last time, 419 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: and now I can use that for something even bigger 420 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 2: and greater and use that. 421 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: Taking a break from today's episode to give some love 422 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: to the two sponsors that make this week's Turning the 423 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Page series possible.

Aside from the goldfish mentality, what 452 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: do you lean into to get through tough hurdle moments? 453 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: Like what happened for you in Doha. 454 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 2: I mean in the moment, I can't pretend like I'm 455 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 2: always straight up, can't. I Like, I typically there's definitely 456 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: a wobble. There's always like the wobble when you're handleb 457 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 2: our shirt to go, you know, But yeah, I definitely 458 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 2: typically after those moments wobble, I struggle. But then I 459 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 2: think what's good for me is like having the right people. 460 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 2: And I always say this to everyone I talked to. 461 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: I was talking to the young athletes too, and I said, 462 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: I said, sometimes there's people you need with you that 463 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 2: like you, that tell you the truth, right, And so 464 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: I think the good thing about I'm not trying to 465 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: hype him up because ugh, but my coach, like, he 466 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: always tells me the truth. So like since the beginning 467 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 2: he's told me. If I said, oh, like what about this, 468 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: he'd be like, no, it's bad, right, which means that 469 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 2: when he's telling me it's good, I now trust him. 470 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 2: So like in those moments I can turn to him 471 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 2: and be like, ooh that was this, and then whatever 472 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: he says, I now trust because I know he's not 473 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: gonna lie to me. And that's kind of what I've 474 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: done is make sure that the people around me can 475 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 2: support me through those moments. And I think that's what's 476 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: been helping me because personally, I have a lot of 477 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 2: weakness in that. I think some people can do it themselves, 478 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 2: which is girl, more power to you, but I struggle 479 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: with it, like I definitely need help through those moments 480 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 2: because I have anxiety and stuff like I have anxiety disorder, 481 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: so like sometimes small things are huge to me and 482 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 2: stuff like that. But because I surround myself with the 483 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: right people and I make sure that I don't surround 484 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 2: myself with people who are yes men or any of that, 485 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: I think that that's helped me through a lot of 486 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 2: those moments because I can turn to certain people and 487 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: I say, is this happening? And if they'll tell me yes, 488 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: if it is, or they'll tell me now you're fine. 489 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 2: And then I go, well, they've never lied to me before. 490 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: They've told me when I look shitty in that dress, 491 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 2: you know, so like why would they Why would they 492 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 2: lie to me now? So that's kind of like what's 493 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 2: always been for me. And I know it's different for everyone. 494 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 2: That's it's crazy, but I can't lie and say like 495 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 2: a lot of it's internal for me because it's just 496 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: something I've always struggled with. 497 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: I appreciate you sharing that, and I think it's super relatable, right, 498 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: knowing that sometimes it's just you need someone to tell 499 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: you the truth. You need to be like, am I 500 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: literally losing my mind? Because when you do have anxiety 501 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: or you are dealing with some other sort of mental 502 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: health battle on your own time, it can feel difficult 503 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: because it's hard to distinguish what is fact versus what 504 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: is fixed, whereas other people might not have as much 505 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: difficulty doing that. You mentioned that you have been recently 506 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: throwing farther and better and really really well. I know 507 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: that this month this is coming out in January, this 508 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: month you're getting married. You're in like a very high 509 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: time for your personal life. Do you think that they 510 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: go hand in hand your performance and feeling in a 511 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: good place personally? 512 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 2: Oh totally, I'm definitely. Like I'm as much as I 513 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: was talking about this before we started, Like the wedding 514 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 2: planning can be stressful and all that, but like there's 515 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 2: like an excitement about it. I'm about to be married 516 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: to like an amazing dude. I have great friends now, 517 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: I have a great like support system, Like everything is 518 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: plays into that, and it's nothing different than what I 519 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: had at the beginning of last year. The difference is 520 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 2: I had a bit of an injury, and like every athlete, 521 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: I go, but it's only this little injury, like what's wrong, 522 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: But like now I'm healthy. I'm sorry I had a 523 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 2: knock on wood athlete thing, but yeah, I have the 524 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: same people. But like, everything's just smooth right now. And 525 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: I think when when your regular life is smooth, the 526 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: athlete life runs a lot better. Yeah, so everything's going smooth, 527 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 2: So I think my training is just doing a lot 528 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 2: better because of it. 529 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm all fir smooth sailing. As we move 530 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: forward here, we talked about your proudest moment, so now 531 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: I've got to ask you about what your most difficult 532 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: moment was in the last three sixty five. 533 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's easy. My very first indoor meat and I 534 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: think we talked about this last time, where sometimes it's 535 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 2: hard for athletes of any level to distinguish themselves from 536 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: who they are outside of athletics and who they are inside. 537 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: And I think I really struggled because it was my 538 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: first meet I was dealing with like a little a 539 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 2: little injury, and I did really bad. And I remember 540 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 2: before the meet they asked me to do this stage 541 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: thing and I kept saying, well, I have time to 542 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: warm up. And it's a long story, but turns out 543 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: I went and did this presentation and I had to 544 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: go back and I had like two throws to warm up, 545 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: and instead of rolling with it like I normally would 546 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: because I had a lot of negative things going on, 547 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: I immediately was like, well I didn't get a warm up, 548 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: this is happening, and it was just it's that stack. 549 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: You keep stacking this thing on top of you. And 550 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 2: I got all stressed, and I remember the meat was 551 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 2: over and I called my coach and I was crying 552 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 2: and he just kind of listened to me because I'm 553 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: just sitting there just they didn't let me warm up, 554 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: just complaining, whining, not really being myself as a person 555 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 2: or an athlete. And it was that moment where like 556 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: it's that mix where like I was so disappointed myself 557 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: as an athlete, I then forget that, like I'm outside 558 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: of that, and it just brought me down as a 559 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: person for like a month, So my training was struggling. 560 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: I was a lot more of a bad athlete in 561 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: training because I was just in a mood I was 562 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: I was a bad fiance, like just that one little 563 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: meet made me like not happy for like way too 564 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: long for something so little and so small, and it 565 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: was that I think it was that gray area where 566 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: you lose yourself. And so the one mess up I'm 567 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 2: a world champion I failed, carried into my personal life. 568 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 2: So I'm being a bad friend. I'm being a bad 569 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 2: athlete to my coach. Like I just remember being rady 570 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: with my coach for like way longer than normal, Like 571 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 2: sometimes you have ratty days. Everyone does, like, yeah, it's fine, 572 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 2: but every day, every training session just seemed like that's 573 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: not what I need to do. No, no, you know, 574 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: like and just like I said, not being because that 575 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 2: carried into everything and it was just it was just 576 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: not a good space to be. And but like I said, 577 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: I have the right people around me. Instead of like 578 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: adding to the negativity, they really helped me work through it. 579 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: But I think that was probably the worst time, and 580 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: that was probably like February of last year. And I 581 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 2: have got in that space again because I've become aware 582 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 2: of it. But it was just a long time of 583 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 2: being kind of a crap person. 584 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's understandable. Right when something goes not 585 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: as we hoped, we aren't going to be ecstatic about it, 586 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: But then you have the opportunity to reflect on it 587 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: moving forward, so you can decide how you want to 588 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: react the next time something similar goes down. So having 589 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: been removed from that situation in particular for quite some time, now, 590 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: what would you say the biggest learning was in reflection 591 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: of this quote unquote Braddy time. 592 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think leading into outdoors. Then after kind of 593 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 2: realizing it through the indoor season, like what happened, I 594 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: was able to like separate that. So like I would 595 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: have a bad meat or like bad to me, I 596 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 2: would say me, but then I would I brought back 597 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 2: the goldfish, didn't I? I put it away and then 598 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 2: I'm back to Okay. That just means train harder, That 599 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: just means this, I don't carry that into my day 600 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 2: to day and stuff like that. So I think that 601 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 2: really helped. It was like a shitty moment, but like 602 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 2: it carried into being like like we said, if you 603 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: can learn from it, it makes it worth it. But 604 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: if you can't, then it kind of ruins it sad. 605 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I totally hear you. So the next thing here, 606 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: are you a swift ye? Yes? Or now? 607 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 2: Well like Taylor Swift? Yeah? 608 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: What else would swift bed. 609 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: I used to be and choose a country singer? 610 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: Ah okay, a little shade coming from Chase Eely on 611 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: Taylor Swifts. Well, as you know Taylor Swift Times person 612 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: of the Year. If Chase Eely had to choose a 613 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: person of the year, who is it? 614 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: When I get these questions all the time, right and 615 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: I'm in this podcast, what I'm trying to think is like, 616 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: go outside of athletics, but your brain immediately goes, oh, 617 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 2: I'm doing this thing and I'm this thing. And that's 618 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 2: the exactly what I'm talking about, where it's like instead 619 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 2: of me being able to be like think outside, all 620 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: I'm thinking is like what athlete? And it's like just 621 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: back out of it for five seconds, and I just 622 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 2: never can, like because you know, it'd be like my 623 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 2: mom like no, Like I want to be real. But 624 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 2: it's just so hard sometimes because I'm like, who am I? 625 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: Well, because you're immersed in it, like you're literally immersed 626 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: in your athleticism every single day. It's a huge part 627 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: of how you show up every day. It's your job, right, 628 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: and when you spend a third of your life doing 629 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: what you do for work, a third of your life 630 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: sleeping only leaves one other third. So in between those 631 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: two thirds of when you're awake, it's more often than 632 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: not that something you're gonna think about is gonna have 633 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: to do with your athleticism. 634 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. 635 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna let you marinate on that for early night, 636 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have you come back to it please. 637 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 2: I need a minute. 638 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: Okay, what is something you want to do more of 639 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four? 640 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 2: I feel like I don't let my I don't want 641 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 2: to say audience because that sounds like I have an audience, 642 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 2: but like the people that like follow me and want 643 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,479 Speaker 2: to know about me.
