52
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: say us ship with us were healthy. You know, first

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: and foremost, health is wealth. You know what I'm saying.

54
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: You can't do nothing without health and without being a

00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: healthy team. So first and foremost, we're healthy right now.

Speaker 1: So we got our guys back, and then we got

Speaker 1: some young talent. You know how I May is back.

61
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, expected him to be better

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: this year. Hey, what Hotsmith is you know somebody who's

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: going to feel a bigger void this year that we

64
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: lost Caleb. You know, we understand. You know what's expected

65
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: of Bam, you know, to be our leader on both

66
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: ends of the basketball court. And then we got supposed

67
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: to know your baby. You know what time it is.

68
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: You already know what time it is, man. So you know,

69
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the Heat to be right back in

70
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and once again they count us out. But

71
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: you do ain't worry about that. We just got work

72
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: to do. We're gonna chip away at it every day.

73
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tap in one more times. Do we heard

74
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 5: the Miami Heat new look Eastern Conference?

75
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: M all right?

76
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: Obviously Boston Celtics champions. Yes, your favorite team in America.

77
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Let me say something, Let me say something that's big.

78
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Let me say something of this though, because recently you

79
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: say that's my favorite team in the world at Boston Hess.

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you how real I am. Recently

81
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: there was a poll that came out on the top

82
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: ten of the top coaches in the NBA, and they

83
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: had Joe Misula number eleven. It ain't ten coaches in

84
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: that league better than Joe Missoula. So you can say,

85
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: you can say that that's my favorite team and all

86
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: that shit, and I be that. I got my thing

87
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: with Boston, But I'm real now, I'm real. It ain't

88
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: ten fucking coaches in the league that's better than Joe Missoula.

89
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: I disagree with that bullshit.

90
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: Let me help Let me help you out real quick,

91
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: because the stuff you said with Miami is it's the

92
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: tension inside of the War of Seven game series and

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: and the fact that they're great and Miami was great

94
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: in the mash.

95
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: You're always gonna keep it real now.

96
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I think that that that's that,

97
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: that's that bullshit. I don't see ten coaches on there

98
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: better than Joe Minzula, and I ain't picking the chooser

99
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: who come out of that motherfucker. But I know Joe

100
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: Mizula definitely should be in the top motherfucking eight at.

101
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Least the ten. The ten coaches ahead of them better

102
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: have championships, will take.

103
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I see, I ain't getting into that killer. I'm just

104
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: saying all of them don't. All of them don't. But

105
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: once again, I ain't picking the chooser who should come out.

106
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying they ain't fucking ten coaches in

107
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: this league better than Joe Missoula. So regardless of that,

108
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: the rivalry between the Miami Heat and the fucking Boston

109
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Celtics real.

110
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: Is real, ud, What the man say you play to

111
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: win the game?

112
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: The man has The man has done his job and

113
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: and then some. So you know you got to give

114
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: him credit where credits? Dog?

115
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 5: So talking so talking to me though? You out in

116
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 5: the Boston, which I appreciate New York Knicks Boston.

117
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: So impressive impressive or impressive impressive?

118
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: All made good moves in the off season. What do

119
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: we expect the ease?

120
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the fact that New York Brough

121
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: named Michel Bridges. You know what I'm saying. I mean,

122
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that plays every night. You

123
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He's not going to cry for shots,

124
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: He's not going to cry for his role. But he's

125
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: gonna impact Winnie, you know what I'm saying. So you

126
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: put him on the court with a guy like Josh Hart.

127
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I'm not sure that they're not,

128
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, guarding every you know guy on on the court.

129
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, they can take any matchup. They can switch

130
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: one through five. A lot of times, they rebound their

131
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: ass off, they knocking down open shots. Josh Hart is

132
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: getting better with his shot, the way he's shooting the basketball.

133
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: So I love what New York's doing. Also, you get

134
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Julius Randall back. You know, I think with New York,

135
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: they're just gonna have to understand, you know, what the

136
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: chemistry is gonna be like. You know, they got to

137
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: figure that out. You know the rotations and you know,

138
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: playing together and just feeling good out there on the

139
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: basketball court. You know how that goes the mental part

140
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: of it. But you know, I love those moves that

141
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: they made. You know what I'm saying. I think losing

142
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Hartenstein might hurt. He was tough, He got to it,

143
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He was tough as far

144
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: as Philly man, I love Paul George man. Philly was

145
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: I think twenty something in the league. On catch and

146
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: shoot threes. Paul George shoot the clip catching shoot forty

147
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: two percent, So he definitely can help that team. I

148
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: see him coming off of pick and roll with Joel

149
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: Embiid and then throwing it back to Tyree's Maxie. You

150
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: come off a pick and roll with Joel Embiid, you

151
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: let Paul George get to that pull up. That's money.

152
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: If you don't, he can either flare and throw it

153
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: back to the big fellow, or the big Fellow can

154
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: roll to the basket. You can have Tyre's Maxie pulling around.

155
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: You throw it back to Tyrese Maxi who's closing out

156
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: on him? If you close out, he going buy you.

157
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: If you don't close out, he's shooting the ball. So

158
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: I see the moves that Philly has made, and offensively

159
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged, But defensively, I don't know. Once again, I

160
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: think Joel andb has habits that he needs to figure out.

161
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, is he the greatest player

162
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: in the NBA. It's a question, But if he had

163
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: the good habits that I think he should have. If

164
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: he had better habits, it wouldn't be a question who's

165
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA.

166
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 5: In my opinion, this is gonna be fun, yeah, because

167
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 5: a couple of young teams that are gonna get better.

168
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Because the playoffs. The playoffs has a way of revealing

169
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: what's really inside you, you know, and in the seven

170
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: game series, if you got bad habits, the shit's gonna show.

171
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: If you had to shape them, shit's gonna show. All

172
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: that's gonna show in the playoffs, you can't hide that.

173
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: All that being said, in early predictions East, I mean.

174
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: You gotta go with the Boston Celtics in the Miami

175
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Heat in my opinion, a healthy Miami Heat because in

176
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: the last four to six years it's been a healthy

177
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Miami Heat and a healthy Boston Celtics. Teane Milwaukee got

178
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: in there and they got one. Shout out to them,

179
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: but it's been between us. If we healthy, I like

180
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: us against anybody in the East. Man, I'm gonna just

181
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: keep saying that. But you gotta get credit with credit.

182
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Do Boston took care of business, they'd be one of

183
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: the games they supposed to win. But also look out.

184
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Excuse me, also look out for Indiana. Also look out

185
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: for Indiana. I don't think what they did last year

186
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: was a fluke. And once again when we talked to JJ,

187
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: that whole series in Boston could have went differently. If

188
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: they win Game one in Boston. We don't know how

189
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: that series goes west. That's interesting because I love Denver,

190
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: I love Joker. Wasn't very much going on in the

191
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: off set for them, So you know, you don't know

192
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: how that's gonna go because you know, you would hope

193
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: that they would get better. You would hope that they

194
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: would fill a couple voids. But they're well coached, they

195
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: got a veteran group of guys, and they got a

196
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: championship heart in that locker room, you know what I'm saying.

197
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: And their leader is a motherfucker. You know what I'm saying.

198
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Their leader is a motherfucker. So you can never count

199
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Denver Ock. Never in a million years. I would hope

200
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: that Sacramento would be better this year, because everybody expected

201
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: them to have a better year last year because of

202
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: the way they played two years ago, and it just

203
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Darian Fox some injuries there, but taking into

204
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: mart de Rozen. I would hope that would help them,

205
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: that they would get better Minnesota. Minnesota is definitely you know,

206
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: they are who they are.

207
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: You know.

208
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: Ant Man is a motherfucking dog, He's a monster. I

209
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: think he's figured out a way that, you know, for

210
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: his personality to translate, you know, throughout those guys in

211
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: that locker room, and his belief and that the way

212
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: he believes and the way he carries himself. I think

213
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: that kind of leadership if you can get fourteen to

214
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: fifteen guys to feel the way you feel and believe

215
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: the way you believe. And I think he's got those

216
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: guys to do that. Do they have enough? You know,

217
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. We have to see with that, but

218
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: I think that they have a hell of a fucking leader,

219
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And Memphis, Shit, to me,

220
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: that's the biggest question mark. And it's not because they

221
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: can't do it. It's because now they got all the

222
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: pieces back. There's no excuses.

223
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: Yes, actually one of the biggest yeah, one of the

224
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 5: biggest off seasons because guys are healthy.

225
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, but they're healthy exactly. Bain's gonna be healthy,

226
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Ban's healthy, Job's coming back you know what I'm saying.

227
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: They got zach Edie. You know what I mean, the

228
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: quick little motherfucker. The little likes to give motherfucker that

229
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: quick off his feet, hopped four or five times in

230
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: two seconds. He's back. You know what I'm saying. I

231
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: forget his name. No disrespect ya, fella, Brandon Clark. I

232
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: love your game too. They no disrespect Brandon Clark's back.

233
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: I like what he does for them. So yeah, no,

234
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Memphis is a big question mark. But it's not because

235
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know what they got. We know

236
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: what they got. It's just like, now, okay, we got

237
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: to put it back together again, and there's no excuses,

238
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Clay with the MAVs, what

239
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: about that kill? Let me ask you about that, Clay

240
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: with the mass What you got to say about that?

241
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: No? No, no.

242
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 5: The Clay with the MAVs is one of the most

243
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: interesting storylines coming into it because he's had such an

244
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: unbelievable career playing a certain style and with the Golden

245
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 5: State the way they play, and how he was so

246
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 5: valuable and yes, right, does that translate now into Dallas

247
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: Because Luca and Kyrie are different than the system.

248
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: The ball. In Golden State, the ball finds energy, and

249
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: in Dallas that's just not the case. You know what

250
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean. You got two guys, Yeah, you got two

251
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: guys that dominates the ball. But they have to be

252
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: accountable and make the right players at the right time,

253
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you know to who

254
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: much is given, much was required. They got the keys

255
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: to the car. They're going to dominate the basketball, but

256
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: they got to make plays and get other guys involved.

257
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: So I think they understand that. And you got to

258
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson. You cannot ignore Clay Thompson. You know you can't.

259
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: He just demands that.

260
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 5: I guess what we're trying to say. There's gonna be

261
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: a lot of ship to talk about season two, but.

262
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: Talking about Oh I can't wait, baby, I can't wait.

263
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: In October, late October, we come back. They're gonna be

352
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna backtrack, but we're gonna start here because I need

353
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: to know. USC. That's a long way from the crib,

354
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: like back in my day. Now, I say back in

355
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: my day because I'm older here. I looked at your

356
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: paperwork and I see you were going to ninety nine

357
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: and I damned to pass that.

358
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: Man.

359
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: You oldly to me THEO. But listen, I see, but

360
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: how things have changed. Because when I was growing up,

361
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: you didn't leave Miami and go all the way to

362
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: the West coast.

363
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: So USC, okay, I went to Mima Northwest, ran track

364
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: for Mama Northwest get there.

365
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 6: We had when it come to track.

366
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: At Mama Northwestern, we had coaches that can coach, the

367
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: shop that coach the throws, the jumps, the hurdles, the

368
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: head coach, and the sprints coach. So the hurdle coach

369
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: coach Tiki Phillips. She went to UCF where Coach Carroll

370
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: was there. Coach Carroll's the head coach at USC. When

371
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: I attended USC, now you always heard coach Carroll is

372
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: Coach Carroll that goes car I was like, who is

373
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: this Coach Carroll? I want to meet this Coach Carroll.

374
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: We go down to the University of Florida for Florida

375
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: Relays and Coach Carroll is there. So when I first

376
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: see Coach Carroll, you know she's in her own because

377
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: she's coaching her girl. They there for business as we

378
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: are as well. But you know, for high school it

379
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: just more on a having fun, more fun. But you

380
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: know college is strictly business. We got to get a

381
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: job then, so I see her. She walked by me

382
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: and Coach Tiki like, hey, this is Coach Carrol, and

383
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: she kind of like gave me a cold shoulder, like

384
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: kept walking type thing, and then she stopped in her

385
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: trash and she was like, what's your times. I was like, oh,

386
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: at the time, it was eleven forty four and twenty

387
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: three two, and she was like, oh, my name Coach Carrol.

388
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: Nice to meet you, and she actually shook my hand

389
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: and everything. So I was like, oh, yeah, I'm tt

390
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: terry this and that, and then from that point on,

391
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: I researched the degrees at USC. At the time, I

392
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm gonna go to school for a

393
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: criminal justice degree, but USC didn't have a criminal justice program,

394
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: so I was like, okay, let me find a different

395
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: route I can go. And I learned you don't need

396
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: a criminal justice degree to become a police officer. So

397
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: I was like, well, I'll just go broader in the

398
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: safe route with communications. So I started looking to USC.

399
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: They had the number one school for communications. Kendul Ellis

400
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: went there. That's from Broadway and she was at Saint

401
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: Thomas at the time, and Dianna Hill went there. And

402
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: I looked up to Dianna Hill at the time, and

403
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, something flow the girls out there.

404
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: And I was already sold by hearing stuff from about

405
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: Coach Carroll from Koch Tiki. So I was like, once

406
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: I got USC, I already knew I was going. My

407
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: mom was already made up. So when I went on

408
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 3: a visit, you know how they do when.

409
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 6: They got top Akey's, they try to like cater to

410
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 6: you and this.

411
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, y'all can stop doing that. I'm coming, like,

412
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: y'all don't gotta do all that extra stuff. But when

413
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: I was at the state meet at the time, I

414
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: didn't want to say anything until I signed, and it.

415
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 6: Was like, oh, can you just give us a hint

416
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 6: this then?

417
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 3: And I just randomly said there was like what coach

418
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: and I just really said west, not thinking California's on

419
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: the west coast. So people started sending my video to

420
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: coach Carroll like Hey, do you know this girl?

421
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 6: This and that, And from that point on.

422
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 3: It's like coaches were scared of Coach Carroll, like they

423
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: didn't want to come and talk to me. They'll go

424
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: to my like Florida Mouse, He'll go to my high

425
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: school coach coach Carmen like ask her about me this

426
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: and that. I feel like the only person that really

427
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 3: stood in the paint was a coach at Nebraska at

428
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: the time I forgot his name. He was the first

429
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: one to call me as soon as recruiting open and

430
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: it was able to talk to me. He's the first

431
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: one to call me. Everybody else was like relaying messages

432
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: to my coature. My coach like go talk to it,

433
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: go tell what you want. But then that it's like

434
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: everybody was scared of Coach Carroll, and I'm like, it's

435
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 3: not even set that I'm going to USC.

436
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 6: Y'all scared to get y'all stuff out there.

437
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: So if you would have told Coach Carroll you like

438
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: running fourteen something, she probably.

439
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: She would have kept listened to the was she would

440
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 3: have Yes, she whole hardly would have kept walking. I

441
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: would have not blaemeing checks. Why weren't playing that lady?

442
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: Why am I playing that lady?

443
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 6: Time top?

444
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: I running fourteen and the hunting that's crazy, that's crazy

445
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: because that's what you run.

446
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

447
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 5: I've been happy to run a fourteen so the West.

448
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: That's the same way I looked at you, Florida.

449
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: I was. I looked at all the academics, law school

450
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

451
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: No listen, So we ain't going to talk about him

452
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: before we get into that when you went to school

453
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: for the academics and to run track. Yes, he went

454
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: for the bag. We're just gonna clean that up. We're

455
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: not even finna put you and him in the same category.

456
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: And then once I see he would get in the bag,

457
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: I had to extore him. That's between me and him,

458
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: like cut me in and cut it out.

459
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: That's exactly all that happened to laughing.

460
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: But that's so the West. We're gonna be gonna backtrack

461
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: because my daddy went to the West, my sister went

462
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: to the West, my brother went to the West, my

463
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: uncle went to the West. Y'all are very very very

464
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: very prideful, very almost a little bit ubnoxious, Like I

465
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: can't explain this kill if it's something maybe like how

466
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: we you know in your school, y'all had the popcorn palate.

467
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure y'all was very arrogant because y'all was the

468
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: only school in South Dakota with the ship made of corn.

469
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: So I'm sure y'all was arrogant. But this is an

470
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: the bulls. This is a very arrogant high school.

471
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 3: Yes, very listen, and TikTok just went viral from the

472
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: football game. I went to the people talking about Central

473
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 3: and no rock Is, no Vikings, no chiefs. If it

474
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: ain't a bull, it ain't.

475
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. They are very, very proudful.

476
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: They make their presence feel and rightfully.

477
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: So.

478
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: Now the history of Northwestern is crazy, Like I almost

479
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: went there, but you know, things with differently from this.

480
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 3: You had to handle business. You had to handle business.

481
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: I don't fault you for that.

482
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 6: You had to handle business.

483
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: So talk about your time out the West because I

484
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: had a chance to actually meet you for the first

485
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: time and it was the I think it was the

486
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: key to the county. Yes, and obviously your coach was

487
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: there as well, and a lot of girls that represent

488
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: your high school was there as well. But you know,

489
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: it's a lot of history that come through Miami Northwestern.

490
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: I think people understand the football history. Shout out Teddy

491
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: Bridgewater for what he's doing them boys. You know what

492
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: time it is, so we understand the football history. But

493
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: talk about your legendary track coaching and the history of that,

494
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: because I mean, she's a legend.

495
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: She's definitely a legend. Coach Caroline, I meant coach Carmen.

496
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: I'm sorry missing them up, but Coach Carmen is the

497
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 3: current coach still at MIMU Northwestern and the dean right now.

498
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: At one point she was a teacher, and it's really

499
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: a full circle moment when it comes to Coach Carmen.

500
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: We have maintained our relationship beyond high school and like

501
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: I call her my grandma now, but my dad went

502
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: to school when Coach Carmen was a teacher at MIMI

503
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: Northwestern and he was a handful she kids, not the

504
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: first the first day she kicked him out and told him,

505
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 3: you're going to the teaching that's though. I'm gonna get

506
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: your grade from her or him, and you're not coming

507
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: to my classroom, So you don't report to me. You

508
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: report to the teaching that's though. And I'll just keep

509
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: tabs on what you got going and what you're doing

510
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: your school work. And then one day he said he

511
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: went to her and told him, miss I got a

512
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: baby on the way, and she like, who you donna

513
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: let who you done got pregnant?

514
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: You talk?

515
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 6: So we got a baby on it.

516
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: He's like, something, you're gonna coaching and she's like, like,

517
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: I'm not coaching, and then it comes out she men

518
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: coaching me and fell in love with me the moment

519
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: I stepped on the track to compete for Mimi Northwestern.

520
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 3: You know, I feel like Northwestern is known for so much,

521
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: and like you said, the football, but a lot of

522
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: people don't know the power that we have in track

523
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: and field, Like I honestly forgot though we have so

524
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: many state championships and so many consecutives.

525
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 6: Like we was able.

526
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 3: Northwestern was so stacked to the point we can win

527
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: a state meet just out of the field events. We

528
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 3: didn't even have to go through with the rest of

529
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 3: the meet, And that goes to show how much depth

530
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: we have because when it comes to throws, there's only

531
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: y'all put javling, discus, and you have long jump, triple jump,

532
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: high jump. We can win a state meet automatically with

533
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: just those events. Don't even have to go to the

534
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: running event were talking about, don't have to go to

535
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: the four bout one the hurdles where we had at

536
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: sometimes four five women taking up lanes and the hurdles,

537
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 3: and it's only eight lanes on the track. So that

538
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: just shows how much depth that MIMU Northwestern had and

539
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: the type of coaching that coach Carmon has to still

540
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: be coaching to this day and be going consecutively with

541
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: winning state titles, you know, and then just being under

542
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: coach Karmen, and I feel like Northwestern prepared me for

543
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 3: the time that I need to go to USC because

544
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: some high school coach programs they don't really have, but

545
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: like one to two coaches, we were grateful enough to

546
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 3: be able to have a coach that specializes in everything.

547
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: So Coach Karmen was the head coach, but Coach Ford

548
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: was the one that did.

549
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 6: My sprint workouts.

550
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: Kach Tiki did the hurdles, Kach Shane did the jumps,

551
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: but Kochhane associate with us because we need to do

552
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 3: plaios and we need to do this, we need to

553
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: do that. So all the coaches were able to help

554
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: me to be come who I am today and to

555
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: succeed at USC, because once I got to USC, it

556
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: wasn't really a shock that I had so many different coaches.

557
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: Like I had Coach Carrol as a head coach, Coach

558
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 3: Wats was an assistant coach, Coach Hayes was an assistant coach.

559
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 6: Then you had the trainers and you had this person.

560
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: So I was kind of already used to that and

561
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 3: being around so many different people in having to rely

562
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: on different people in their expertise because you know, Coach

563
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: Carol is the head coach, but it may be something

564
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 3: else that I could talk to Coach Wats about that I.

565
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 6: May not be able to talk to Coach Carol about.

566
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 3: So when it came to USC like, I had Coach

567
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: Watch even though he wasn't my coach, I'll go to

568
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: him like for nutrition or this and that. So I

569
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: feel like Northwestern definitely prepared me for that.

570
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you heard that.

571
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: Listen, yes, I got I got a real serious question.

572
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 5: So the preparation and the training to be to do

573
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 5: what you guys do is amazing, right, we as a

574
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 5: pro athletes, it's always the same as far as the

575
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 5: preparation of the work that goes into it.

576
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: But you do all that work for ten seconds of action?

577
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 5: What's what's your mindset when you go into the Like, yo,

578
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 5: we just a lot of pressure because we have we

579
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 5: have a seven game series, or we have forty two minutes,

580
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 5: forty minutes, you know, so to have ten seconds of

581
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 5: to show you all your work, it's hard.

582
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 2: So what's your mindset there? So for me.

583
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 3: My mindset is more so just going there and have fun,

584
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 3: because I know once I'm having fun, everything else gonna

585
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 3: turn out great. If I go in there and I

586
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 3: put too much pressure on myself, then everything is going

587
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 3: to basically go downhill. And I've kind of been learning

588
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: that this season actually and from last season.

589
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 6: You know last season. I so twenty twenty two was

590
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 6: my rookie year.

591
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: I made the real championship team, was able to be

592
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: a part of it for by one that upset Jamaica

593
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: at the time, which was the fastest on paper. And

594
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: then it come twenty twenty three and I didn't even

595
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: make the team individually, but I just made it my rookie.

596
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 6: Year in twenty twenty two.

597
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: So how I felt short and didn't make it in

598
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, which was due to some other stuff obviously,

599
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I was like, I wouldn't

600
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 3: say I was devastated, but I was like, really, like,

601
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: how did this happen? Like because I went into two

602
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: hundreds and I'm pr and every one in the toy

603
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: and I'm talking about twenty three three, twenty three three,

604
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 3: twenty two to one, and I'm like twenty two to one.

605
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 3: Anybody know before I never ran a two hundred correctly

606
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: or how I was supposed to. So to see myself

607
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 3: running prs every round and this one when I'm talking about,

608
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: we had two rounds in one day, so it's like

609
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: I ran off a PR and then I went to

610
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: come back a couple minutes later to run another PR

611
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: and even faster. So the rest of that season, when

612
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 3: it came to the hundred, it is like I was

613
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 3: just going downhill every every every race, downhill down here,

614
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what is going on? How am I

615
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: not breaking ten seconds when I ran ten consistently in

616
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. And then the two hundred. I'm getting

617
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 3: on the track and I'm just having fun with the

618
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: two hundred and everything is going great. I ran the

619
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: two hundred I think six times in twenty twenty three,

620
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 3: and PR at least four out of the five times.

621
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 6: But I realized that.

622
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 3: My approach to the two hundred was different than my

623
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: approach in the hundred. So when it came to the hundred,

624
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 3: I was putting the scress on myself or pressure on myself,

625
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: I would say, But when it came to two hundred,

626
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: nobody's looking for me to do anything in the two hundred.

627
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 3: So I'm just going out there having fun because it's like,

628
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: however I perform, nobody really going to care because the

629
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 3: two hundred isn't my expertise. The one hundred is so

630
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 3: Once it got towards the end of the season, I'm

631
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: looking around because we realizing that it's mental. I'm like,

632
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: it's not physical, it's definitely mental because I'm doing the

633
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 3: extra one hundred meters and I'm pr So I'm looking

634
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: around for a sports psychologist and I just stumbled upon

635
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: somebody I'm just googling, and then I emailed the guy

636
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, his team got back to

637
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: me immediately, and it's just so happened to be someone

638
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 3: that was a sports psychologist to Kobe in Shack and

639
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm gonna just email them. I don't know

640
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: if you're gonna get back to me. I may not

641
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: even be in his realm of athletes, you know, we

642
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: talk about Kobe and Shack. So then someone from his

643
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: team email me back, and I got so excited and

644
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: so happy in that moment, even though I wasn't expecting

645
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 3: anything to happen in the twenties between three season because

646
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, the season is almost over.

647
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 6: We at the end of the season.

648
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 3: I had a conversation with him and the day before

649
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: I had to go out and compete, which was the

650
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: day of pre meat. And as I'm talking to him,

651
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: like he's listening to the verbiage that I'm using, the

652
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 3: way I'm saying things, and he's like, you need to

653
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: take yep, butt out your vocabulary because all you doing

654
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: is diminishing your confidence. You not going into the racist confident.

655
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: Because in twenty twenty three, I made the relay pool

656
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: for the World Championship. I didn't make the hundred, but

657
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: I was a discretionary pick.

658
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 6: For the relay. So I was saying, well, I'm just

659
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 6: here for relay.

660
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: I'm just here for relay, diminishing the importance of the relay,

661
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: still in my role in the relay. So I'm like, yeah,

662
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: I'm just here for relay. You know I'm not doing something. Yeah,

663
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: I'm just here for relay. He's like, get yep, but

664
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: at your vocabulary because you keep looking for the wrong

665
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 3: things and I I need you to look for the

666
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: things that you're doing right. And then he was like,

667
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: forgive yourself for not making the team, because everything you're

668
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 3: saying to me, you basically still carrying from that day

669
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 3: of you not making the team. And I didn't realize

670
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 3: that I was carrying that baggage through the whole season.

671
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: So I kid you not. I approached pre MEI differently.

672
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 3: I listened to him forgave myself for not making the team,

673
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 3: and I went out there and I ran.

674
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 6: Ten eighty three.

675
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: My PR is ten eighty two, So I'm like, right

676
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 3: off of my PR, and I'm like, bro, this was

677
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: in me the whole season, and all of a sudden

678
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: it just came out the last meet of the season,

679
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: you know, And I was kind of like, dang, I

680
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: really waited to the last meet of the season to

681
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: do this when the whole time it was already in

682
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: me already. I just needed to hear it from somebody

683
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 3: else because I was already in conversations with my coach

684
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 3: drought this season and telling him like, coach is how

685
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 3: I feel about stuff, And you know, he's talking to

686
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: me like, hey tt, we need to develop our relationship

687
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 3: better because this is only my second year with him,

688
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 3: and it was my first time having a head male

689
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: coach like I had coach fourd at Northwestern, but he

690
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 3: was the assistant at Northwestern.

691
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 6: Coach Carmen was my head coach. At USC coach Carol

692
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 6: my head coach.

693
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: So I was always used to just women head coaches

694
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: and I wasn't really used to having a male head coach.

695
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 3: So a lot of stuff, I was just key to myself,

696
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 3: or I'll just always try to help everybody else and

697
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: not really looking out for myself. So I was having

698
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: conversations with my coach about that, and then it was

699
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: just amount of just approaching things differently. So going into

700
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: this year twenty twenty four, I still kept my sports

701
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: psychologists talking to him once a month in the fall

702
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: and then just about every before every meet. So whenever

703
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: I had a meet, I'll schedule a call with him

704
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: the night before and I'll try to do it around

705
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: before going into pre me because pre me is what

706
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: we do our little ritual the day before we go

707
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: out and compete. So I'll try to have the conversation

708
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: with him, so whatever he say it can stick, and

709
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: pre meet, I'll do it I need to do and

710
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: pre meat and then I let it marrining overnight and

711
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: I bring it to the track on competition day.

712
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: That's awesome. The other thing I think is fascinating. I

713
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: love the four by one. I love the four by two.

714
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: The anticipation of the handoff or the exchange at the baton.

715
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: How stressful, nervous, stressful for me when I walk.

716
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to understand, because you know, the man's

717
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: never doing well, That's what I'm about to say. Fella's

718
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: always dropping the time. I'm just trying to figure out

719
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: what the hell's going.

720
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: When it comes to one, it's not as stressful because

721
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: we practiced so much. We have that trust, we have

722
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: that confidence, and I just trusted my team and go.

723
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 6: Do what she needs to do.

724
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: So when I throw my hand back, I'm not searching

725
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: for the baton. I'm let her do her job because

726
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: she gonna see my hands, she gonna put the stick

727
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: in there. I'm just making sure I keep my hands steady,

728
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: and my job is keep my hands steady. And I'm

729
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 3: looking on the ground for the zones to make sure

730
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 3: we don't rent out the zone. But when when I

731
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: take off, I put my hand back so quick that

732
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: we don't even have to worry about going outside the zone.

733
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: I think, for me, the only thing is about making

734
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: sure I hit the mark on time. But with me,

735
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: I say, if I'm not gonna hit if she's like,

736
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: if she hit the mark and I don't take out

737
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: on time, I'm gonna take out late rather than early,

738
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 3: because I rather you run up on me than me

739
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: leaving you and getting out of the zone too early,

740
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: because once I take off, it's gonna be hard to

741
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: catch you because I'm accelerating. Meanwhile, you gotta hit another

742
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: gear to try to catch me. So I rather just

743
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: have them run up on me. But for the most part,

744
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 3: I just don't watch the race, especially when I'm on

745
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: second leg and I wait till the gun go off.

746
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: Then I get in my position because I feel like

747
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: I get my position too early. Now I'm leaning all

748
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 3: over the place, I'm nervous, or I'm doing this and that.

749
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: So I just wait at a certain for that sweet

750
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: spot when she take off, and I'll look at it

751
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: a little bit.

752
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 6: I'm like, Okay, she come out.

753
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: I got to get rid. I can't watch the race.

754
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: If I try to watch the race, I'm gonna miss

755
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: my mark and what I need to do. And then

756
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 3: when they come to that second leg, I'm just thinking

757
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: just eat up as many people as you can get

758
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: down that track and just push that through the zone.

759
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm happy you brought up that relay and

760
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: that question killer, because I've always wondered, like, Okay, in

761
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: the World Championship, if I'm not mistaken, you ran the anchor, yes,

762
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: and yeah, you held off Jackson towards the end, right,

763
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: did your thing so and then in the Olympics you

764
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: ran the second leg correct. So when you're when you're

765
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: putting together the order, are you looking at the other

766
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: team and the other countries are saying this is how

767
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: we want to match up, or y'all just match it.

768
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: Y'all do y'all thing anyway, Like if we don't give

769
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: it them, how they match up, we're gonna get one, two, three,

770
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: How we're gonna do four and we're gonna do our thing?

771
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: Or do y'all match up with them? Is it a strategy? Again?

772
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: We we kind of just do our thing anyway. We

773
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: just go off what we feel is best. You know,

774
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 3: the athlete have to be comfortable running the leg that

775
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: they're running, and we just like okay, as athletes will

776
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: come to be like okay, well I want to run

777
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: this LEGO that leg, And throughout this season we see

778
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 3: each other spreents, we see each other's weaknesses. So like

779
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 3: for instant shake carry, we know she has excellent top

780
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: and speed. She's gonna hold down fourth leg no matter what.

781
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 6: For me second leg.

782
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: I showed I need to do on second leg in

783
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three where we ran the

784
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: World Championships and budapestz and I ran away. I ran

785
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: on a second leg, so I know I can get

786
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 3: down on second leg. But if I had to run

787
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: any other leg, I know I would be able to

788
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 3: run those leggs as well. But when picking, and really,

789
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say, oh, well, I can run first

790
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: leg over somebody I know is a great starter, Like

791
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: I know my start is okay, But why would I

792
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: try to go against Melissa Jefferson that can run a

793
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: stellar curve when I know I can eat up a

794
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: beat scratch. So you know, we kind of just play

795
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: off each other's scripts and weaknesses, and then the coach

796
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: has and put in it to and be like, oh,

797
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: I want to test you at this lig, I want

798
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: to test you at that leg. So we kind of

799
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: just let the coach do their thing too, but we'll

800
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: also give our feedback like well, I feel better here,

801
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: or I never ran third leg, or I never did

802
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: this leg, And in those cases, they'll try to do

803
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: as much preparation with you as they can and see

804
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: if you can get comfortable in a certain amount of

805
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 3: timeframe and how you would feel running it. So it's

806
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: just a matter of communicating amongst the athletes and the coaches.

807
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 3: But we kind of just go in with our own

808
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 3: mindset because you don't really know what the other team's

809
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: gonna do, because they can just run one relay one day,

810
00:32:58,920 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: I mean one.

811
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 6: Way one day, and then they can come in and

812
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 6: change it.

813
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: But you won't know because you don't get the slips

814
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 3: until like right before you go into the car room

815
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: or so, so you won't know until they line up.

816
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 6: On the track.

817
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 5: What's the difference, because you said that the difference is

818
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 5: the curves and the stretches. Is that much of a

819
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 5: different running.

820
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cause some people are great curve runners and then

821
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: some people aren't as great on the straight.

822
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 6: Away because it may take them time to build up.

823
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: Like some people can hit their speed right away, like

824
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: for instance, like a first leg, they out the gun

825
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: with it, whereas like maybe a second leg they can

826
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: build up their speed over time, or like last, let

827
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 3: ca and build up their speed over time. So it's

828
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: just different scripts that we can exist, and it all

829
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: just depends on the athlete. You have some atheletes that

830
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: strictly just run one hundred. You have some athetes that

831
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: mainly just run the two. So it all just depends.

832
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: Because some athletes actually can run birth both the straight

833
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: and the curve. But it's just a matter of strategically

834
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: placing your athletes and what's their best strength is as

835
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: opposed to like knowing that they can do both and

836
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 3: just trying to feel the spot if you don't really

837
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: need to, if you have someone else that can feel

838
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: that spot.

839
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: So in other words, kill, I could run the first,

840
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: second leg, or the third or the fourth, whichever I

841
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: need it to run. I did whatever you want to

842
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: be able to do them all.

843
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: Just a fucking legend.

844
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: Let me stop playing. I don't want none of that smoke.

845
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't want none of that smoke, but I do

846
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: got a question by some smoke Tyreek hill man. I'm

847
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: just asking because this is what this is what I'm saying.

848
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: He said in the sixty. Now, I watch no Allows

849
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: as fast as hell, but he don't have the best start.

850
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: So you think if it was a sixty, Tyreek had

851
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: a chance.

852
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what Tyree start looked like. You know,

853
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: because you will have the best start. He closed, you

854
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 3: don't have the best start.

855
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 6: Closed.

856
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: But that's why Tyree said sixty or not the one hundred?

857
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, because hes gonna get rid down now hundred.

858
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, that's what I think he said the sixty.

859
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: I still think it still would be pretty close. Like

860
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: Noah has ran some great sixties with.

861
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: Terrible start, but the man fast.

862
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

863
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 3: And then I think, I think when they talked recently,

864
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: I think he will end up changing to a forty

865
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 3: or something like that.

866
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 6: I think.

867
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: I think, like the man when the Man talks the

868
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: ship crazy.

869
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 6: Now I know once he hit top end, is it's

870
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 6: over with?

871
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen, let me just say this. I'm a fan,

872
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: but he'd be tripping.

873
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 6: Everybody.

874
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't got to listen. I ain't got it

875
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: like everything you say everything, I'm still a fan of you, bro,

876
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: But why he say that if you win a championship

877
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: that you ain't you ain't a world champion. I don't

878
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: understand that like you.

879
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 6: I haven't even fully I don't even allowed to.

880
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: I've heard the conversation around it, but I haven't fully

881
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: listened to what he said verbatim or any I just

882
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: know what I know.

883
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: He just sounds just like that champion.

884
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 6: I just know he got up.

885
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: We don't mean we don't mean to put you on here,

886
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: because no, it's not on here. We'd love to have that,

887
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: but no, I ain't trying to. No, No, I'm with you, though.

888
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 2: He's tripping on some stuff. Because the best world players come.

889
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 5: Over and play in our league anyway, So it's there's

890
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 5: a conversation that we can have. But that's not to

891
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 5: do with your t t But no, I likes to

892
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 5: talk about that ship. The best foreign players, European players

893
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 5: are coming over and blaming our league.

894
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 2: So world championships, our World championship, we got two of them.

895
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: You I got three too. Yeah, you can't diminish my

896
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: goddamn championship. We won one. Just guess saying that twenty

897
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't mine and Jelo be on that team, you ain't.

898
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: Nothing better came out of Spain. Tony Parker. Ain't nothing

899
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: better came out of Frinchton, Tony Parker, Ain't nothing better

900
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: came out of Spain than Mantal Genobi. So I'm a

901
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: god damn world champion in my eyes.

902
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 5: So I asked you this question before. You're so young

903
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 5: and you so old, you grew up watching him a

904
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: little bit?

905
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 6: Yes, of course.

906
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: You know.

907
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 3: I grew up in Miami, born and raids, So I

908
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 3: watched Real five. I watched he know y'all went that

909
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: back to back. I definitely watched that. You know, I

910
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: had to go out to the parade, you know, at

00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 3: all white, So I definitely I definitely watched him.

931
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: then my best friend, my little sister, was like, okay,

932
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: love Mike Miller something. I used to be watching a

933
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: good peat. And then when I did a podcast, I

934
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 3: told her today, I was like, guess so I'm going

935
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: on the podcast week and I was like Mike Miller

936
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: and she just bust out laughing. I said, yeah, hear me.

937
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 3: He said, now how you got that? Look at your life?

938
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: Just full circle?

939
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 6: So we just to.

940
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: I ain't hate it, but smart.

941
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah I was.

942
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 6: I was just doing stuff.

943
00:37:59,239 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

944
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had we appreciate you. We had iday.

945
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 2: Hey talk to me about this US Jamaica rivalry. What

946
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: is that like.

947
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: So the US Jamaica, I woulna say it's more so

948
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: a rivaly with the fans. You know, when sports being

949
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: bringing people together, you know, that's how people build relationships

950
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 3: and friendships. But it's nothing too crazy off the track.

951
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: We support each other off the track. I've watched Shelley

952
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: growing up, her call Alda Allison, Veronica Campbell Brown, So

953
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: you know, I've always looked up to other runners from

954
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: other countries as well, and I think when we step

955
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 3: on the track, USA versus Jamaica, we just put on

956
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: a show, you know. And do you have great Britain

957
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 3: coming in now, you know with Darryl and Dina, So

958
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's a great rivalry when you step

959
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: on the track, you know, you want to get a show.

960
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 3: When it comes down to the relays and stuff, it's

961
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 3: a matter of who's going to come out on top

962
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: because you have so many great athletes on paper, but

963
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 3: it's a matter of are they going to put it

964
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: together this day, or who's going to come on top

965
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: this day? Or is this athlete feeling this way that way.

966
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: I definitely say I enjoy it. I have fans that's

967
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: also Jamaica's and they make sure they let me know, like, hey,

968
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 3: I'm I'm Jamaican, but I love you in usay and

969
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

970
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 6: So I feel like it's a great rivalry. It's something

971
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 6: that's gonna always be there. You know.

972
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: The OG's paved the way Merlin, Atti Flow, Joe, you

973
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: had so Evelyn Ashford, You had so many great athletes

974
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 3: from both the USA and Jamaica that was dominant in

975
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: their time and was able to pay the way for

976
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: us to be able to come behind them. And then

977
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: you know, you had Jamaica with Shelley Inne and then

978
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 3: Elaine and Shirrika, you know, and just being able to

979
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: see what they do and us going from watching them

980
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 3: to compete in alongside them, just to show how dominant

981
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 3: Jamaica is when it comes to the sprints, and how

982
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 3: dominant the USA can be as well. And I feel

983
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: like it's gonna always be a robbery because there's always

984
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: younger coming up, Like right now with Jamaica. On the

985
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 3: younger side, you got Alana Read, you got the Clayton twins.

986
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 3: And on the USA side you have the younger athletes myself,

987
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: Melissa Shakerri, you know, so it's a great time. You know,

988
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 3: you have Shanti that's also a usay and so many

989
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 3: more other names. I just feel the rivaly gonna always

990
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 3: be there and as long as it's a healthy rivalry.

991
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 3: I think the athletes will always enjoy it, the fans

992
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: will enjoy it. I think it just more so becomes

993
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 3: I don't hear sometimes amongst the fans as opposed to

994
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: the athletes, Like the athletes will congratulate each other off

995
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: the track. On the track, you know, once we finish,

996
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: the women are hugging or handshaking.

997
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 6: So I feel like it's just a healthy rivalry.

998
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: And inside the village, inside the Olympic village, do you

999
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: guys speak to one another, Because I'm gonna tell you

1000
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: in the NBA bove but I ain't talk to nobody

1001
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: outside of my meat, So I didn't. I didn't want

1002
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: too else. Yeah, I am, but that's how I created.

1003
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: That's like in my mind, like it's only one of

1004
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: us coming out of here.

1005
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 6: That's true. So saying so, I don't know how you

1006
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 6: handle it inside the village.

1007
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: Is more laid back because in the village you have

1008
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 3: this tradition of wanting to trade pins with other countries

1009
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 3: and seeing how many pins you can get. So every

1010
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: country have these different live pins and for a different

1011
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 3: sports you just trade the months and then just seeing

1012
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 3: like oh hey, and then you know when it's USA,

1013
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 3: the other countries want anything from you. They take the

1014
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 3: shirt off your back if they can. So it's just

1015
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 3: like a matter of just friendly talk in the village.

1016
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: But once we get to the track, it's like that,

1017
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: like we're not like we're probably nad at each other,

1018
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: but once we get in that car room and stuff,

1019
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: it's strictly like locked in.

1020
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 6: Some athletes will talk amongst.

1021
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: Each other, some won't talk at all until the race

1022
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 3: is over, because you know, once you step on the track,

1023
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: your competitors not like we can go in friends, but

1024
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 3: we know everybody want to win. Everybody want to get

1025
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: to that line first. So it's like you get locked in,

1026
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 3: you do what you need to do, and then once

1027
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: the race offen, it's like okay, hey, like you deal

1028
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: with you. You got the best of me today, but

1029
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 3: you know, come back later and we have really more

1030
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 3: opportunities to race against each other. But it's definitely a friendly,

1031
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: friendly environment amongst the village because like in the village,

1032
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 3: some athletes are meeting people they never seen before. You know,

1033
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 3: it's an opportunity to be able to see your idols

1034
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, and then you also seeing the

1035
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 3: best of the best that's in your country. So like

1036
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 3: with USA, I was able to see the NBA players,

1037
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 3: bron Coco and all of them, whereas on erect the

1038
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 3: day basically I mean have not ran into them.

1039
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 6: But with USA, having all of us stay in the

1040
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 6: village and you're also.

1041
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 3: Able to form relationships and friendships people and you learn

1042
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 3: about the other sports like track, they're a little collaboration

1043
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 3: with women's rugby, and then women's rugby went on to

1044
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 3: win ale bronze medal and then like we formed relationships

1045
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: with them that I still.

1046
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 6: Talk to some of the athletes from rugby today.

1047
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 3: And then even we'll have like in the in the village,

1048
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 3: USA will have a little athlete house and then the

1049
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 3: athletes will come down and watch the different sports, and

1050
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: somebody from that sport may be in there watching them

1051
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 3: explain like, oh, my teammates doing this and that, and

1052
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 3: this is why they're doing that, this is how the

1053
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 3: competitions goes, this how you get eliminated. So you're kind

1054
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 3: of just learning about other sports and just getting knowledge

1055
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 3: about them.

1056
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 5: Another thing I'm curious about, so Olympics is done, When

1057
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 5: do you get back in the train, Because for us,

1058
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 5: we look at four years whatever.

1059
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 2: So when our season was.

1060
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 5: That I sucked at basketball, so I had to get

1061
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 5: really back into it again to make sure I could

1062
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 5: stay in it. Where's your guys, is like, what's the transition,

1063
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 5: what's the training, what's the look like for the next.

1064
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: So for US track, we basically compete year round. We

1065
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 3: start in November, so I'll be back training in November.

1066
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be a longer season in twenty twenty

1067
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 3: five because World Championship is in September because it's in Tokyo,

1068
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 3: So I don't know. We're going to start the first

1069
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 3: week of September a little later November because we have

1070
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 3: to go all the way from November to September.

1071
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 6: For rurals.

1072
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 3: Normally rulds will be done in August, but we start

1073
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 3: back in November. We kind of just do fall training.

1074
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 3: And then outside of the Olympics, we have World Championship,

1075
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 3: which is every two years. And then now they're changing

1076
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: something in track and field where they want to have

1077
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: this thing called the Ultimate Challenge, which would be at

1078
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 3: the end of every season instead of ending with the

1079
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 3: World Championships or like the Olympic Game or the Domini

1080
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: Founders start of the ending with Dominily Findal.

1081
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 6: I think they'll be ending with.

1082
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 3: The Ultimate Championship and they supposed to be paying athletes

1083
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: either one hundred and fifty K if you win or

1084
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 3: two hundred or something like that. I haven't read up

1085
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: on it fully, but yeah. So it's like we still

1086
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 3: have stuff outside of the Olympic season. So most people

1087
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 3: think we running the Olympics and then we do nothing

1088
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 3: for four years and then just pop back up and

1089
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 3: like I'm back at the Olympics again.

1090
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 6: We have so much.

1091
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 3: We have the Domina League circuit, then you have now

1092
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: the gram Slam League which is getting introduced to track

1093
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: and field, so it's so much different stuff going on.

1094
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 3: Do you have Serena William's husband putting on the meet

1095
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 3: this month on a twenty six it's a one day meet.

1096
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 3: I think it's six events, maybe eight women each event,

1097
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: so it's literally just a final and the winner gets

1098
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 3: sixty K.

1099
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 6: So you win, you automatically get sixty K.

1100
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: And then he has it where the ticket sales and

1101
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 3: T shirt sales and stuff, the athletes will get a

1102
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 3: portion of that, which we don't really see in track

1103
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 3: and feel like in track and field. Some athletes are

1104
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 3: on contract, and then some athletes literally are working jobs

1105
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 3: and come out to compete too, So you know, not

1106
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 3: everybody have that privilege of being able to just go

1107
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: out and compete. Like for me, I don't have that

1108
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 3: extra stress on where my next check going to come

1109
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 3: in or how am I going to make ends meet

1110
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: while trying to run. And then when athletes are computing,

1111
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 3: they also have to pay for their flight, they have

1112
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 3: to pay for the hotel. So there's so much more

1113
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 3: that goes into running at the track meets just to

1114
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 3: go out there and run for ten seconds, twelve seconds

1115
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 3: if you're hurdling. So it's just so much more that

1116
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 3: goes into track and field. And I feel like track

1117
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 3: and field we're trending in a good direction right now,

1118
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 3: but it's definitely so much more outside of the Olympics.

1119
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 3: And I wish people would tune in outside of the

1120
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 3: Olympics and not wait just for the Olympics. But you know,

1121
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 3: that's also a problem within track and field of gatekeeping

1122
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 3: our sport kind of and not really like they want

1123
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 3: you to pay every time to watch the track of me.

1124
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 3: Whereas when it comes to basketball, if you have ESPN.

1125
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 3: You can watch basketball. You don't have to worry about

1126
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: going through this hoop or that hoop. I gotta get

1127
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 3: flow trick. I gotta do a subscription to this Then

1128
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 3: this meat is on Peacocks, So now I gotta give

1129
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 3: subscription to Peacock.

1130
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 6: But then today this meat is on this network.

1131
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 3: So it's like it's just so many hoops that you

1132
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 3: have to go through to try to get access to

1133
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: track and field.

1134
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: I'm happy you brought that up because, like I'm because

1135
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: my wife ran track and she's explained some of these

1136
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: things to me, Like it's it's difficult least that run

1137
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: track because if you don't have a sponsorship, you know,

1138
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: if you're not winning, then you know, how are you

1139
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: providing for the training and the traveling and different things

1140
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: like that? So like how does how does track athletes

1141
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: besides you know, just obviously winning because winning cure is everything,

1142
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: but as a track athlete, like how you get yourself

1143
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: out there, like your face out there because obviously you

1144
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: say you run a lot and you but damn, you

1145
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: can't kill yourself out there running. You got to take

1146
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: your time, but you got to put yourself out there.

1147
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: You got to get your face out there. You got

1148
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: to get the recognition, you got to get all these

1149
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: things going. So that is one thing I do, and

1150
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: that's one of the things I agree with No allows

1151
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: is like track does deserve more recognition for what you

1152
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: guys are able to do and what the women are

1153
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: able to accomplish as well. But it just doesn't work

1154
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: like that financially all the time. So like for you,

1155
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: you made a come and you was like, I ain't

1156
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: got worried about that. You let me know you all

1157
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: right there you straight, But everybody ain't. So like that grind,

1158
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: Like is that is that?

1159
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: Like? Is that?

1160
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: Is it worth it for everybody? Because if you get

1161
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: to the point, if you can't get into the Olympics

1162
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: and you can't run a certain time, you might well

1163
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: just sit your as down somewhere and get a job.

1164
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think that's what that's what it comes to.

1165
00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 6: That's what it comes to for some athletes.

1166
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: Some act like I'm not gonna keep putting myself through this,

1167
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 3: like I'm not making no money, like I'm not getting

1168
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 3: anything back, Like I'm pouring my all into the sport

1169
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 3: just for me not to get anything. And I even

1170
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 3: have close friends that experience that you know, and that's

1171
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: running on maybe a base or something like that. So

1172
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 3: they running based off bonuses, so they have to perform

1173
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 3: a certain way, or they have to compete run certain

1174
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: times or stuff like that in order to get a

1175
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 3: certain amount of money. And you know, I feel like

1176
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 3: for them, it comes down to, like, do I want

1177
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 3: to keep pushing myself through this because I'm not getting

1178
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 3: all of it out of that. I want to like

1179
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: I'm pouring more into it than what I'm getting back,

1180
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 3: you know. And it's a matter of some of them

1181
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 3: have kids, you know, and they have a life, and

1182
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 3: it's like, I can't keep doing this for so much longer.

1183
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: I have to make a decision. And for some of

1184
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 3: them may be hard because track is like literally all

1185
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: they knew. They went to college, they did track, they

1186
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: came out. They trying to fulfill their dream of being pro. So,

1187
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of it's kind of tough for

1188
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 3: some athletes.

1189
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: You're superstitious your hair, is that true?

1190
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 2: It's not.

1191
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: My fans told me if I show it out my hair,

1192
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 3: that's like sure without my spite. So I can't show

1193
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 3: it out my hair like that.

1194
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's what it is. Okay, growing up five siblings, right,

1195
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: anybody else ran trackside?

1196
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: Well?

1197
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 6: I actually have. I have two brothers as well too.

1198
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so did anybody else run track besides you?

1199
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 6: So my sisters they dabbled in it, but they didn't

1200
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 6: stick to it.

1201
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, before we get to the fan question, I got

1202
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: my fan questions. Killer, God damn, I like it. Yeah,

1203
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: and you started around nine?

1204
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 6: Yes, I started in nine years.

1205
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: Old, and just like naturally, what happened happened.

1206
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 3: So I was walking home from school one day, me

1207
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 3: and my sisters and a couple of my family members

1208
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,959
Speaker 3: and some friends, and we started track athletes training because

1209
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 3: at that time, that's what the recreation track was coming out.

1210
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 3: And we were like, oh yeah, we're gonna go over

1211
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 3: there and try out one day and see what comes

1212
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 3: out of it. We all went, We all tried out.

1213
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 3: I went to Olympus my first year. I think I

1214
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 3: made it one hundred and two hundred, but I didn't

1215
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 3: make it to the finals. But I made it on

1216
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 3: the four by one and we broke the Benham Age

1217
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 3: group record in the four about one.

1218
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 6: That's still like two years and I just kept going

1219
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 6: back after that.

1220
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: Does your under twenty record still because you tied for

1221
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: fourth with the under twenty record, right, is that still standard?

1222
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 6: That might have got broken.

1223
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 3: Your teammate have broke that, actually, Batman daughter, Oh yeah,

1224

00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,120

1266
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: I've got all my questions out. You want to go

1267
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: to the fan questions.

1268
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 5: One of the fan questions how young were you when

1269
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 5: you started track? I think you just answered that.

1270
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, I asked that already. Get them out of there?

1271
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 2: What do you think about right before the race.

1272
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 3: So right before the race, I'm kind of just repeating

1273
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 3: information to myself, different infirmations, kind of like just to

1274
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: distract myself or me to just doing deep breathing. So

1275
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 3: I kind of just tell myself, like, you belong here,

1276
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 3: You're a great starter, you have excellent top in speed,

1277
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 3: especially just telling myself the stuff that I'm good at.

1278
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 6: You know, you have excellent top in speed. You belong here, dude.

1279
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 6: Like basically I can go out there and do what

1280
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 6: I need to do. Sometimes when I get.

1281
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 3: In the block, I be thinking push, push, push, push, push,

1282
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 3: because I know if I get a good push, I

1283
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 3: can set myself up good. I don't get a good push,

1284
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 3: then I'm set myself to not be in position to

1285
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 3: accelerate the way I need to once I come out

1286
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 3: my drive face. So those kind of just little things

1287
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 3: that I just keep saying to myself. And then if

1288
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 3: it's not anything I'm saying, I'm just taking a deep

1289
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 3: breath to clear my mind.

1290
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: I want to backtrack a little bit because I don't

1291
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: think we touched on it enough, you know what I'm saying,

1292
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: because I didn't start getting you know, a therapist until

1293
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: I was about in my late thirties, and that was

1294
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: just on some trackist. Yeah you was you well, you

1295
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: kept me out of trouble, but for the most part,

1296
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: I was fucking up. But I ain't start getting into

1297
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: therapy until like late in my career, and I was

1298
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: just home, like, you know, I had lost my father,

1299
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 1: I lost my stepmother, I lost I lost my mother,

1300
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: like so I was just losses was adding up, you

1301
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and then the baggage ads up.

1302
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: And then when I lost my father, I think all

1303
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: the losses kind of hit me at once. So I

1304
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: got into the therapy part of that. But you got

1305
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: into it early and very early. So like we got

1306
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: to give you credit for that, because a lot of

1307
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: people self awareness one to understand that you can need

1308
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: that help and to have strength to go out and

1309
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: get that help, because everybody don't do that. I ain't,

1310
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: Like I said, it took tragedy for me. I went

1311
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: through my whole career playing in the finals, losing nights

1312
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: of sleep, you know, what I'm saying when I could

1313
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: probably just picked up the phone and talked to somebody

1314
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: in the dog all day. You remember them days killing

1315
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: You wake up and you just stay in the dog

1316
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: all day, and we got a day off, and you

1317
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: played like shit the day before, and the day you

1318
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: wake up, you don't even want to leave your room.

1319
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You don't want to leave

1320
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: your room. And then you go to practice the next

1321
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: day and you do it all over again. But I'm

1322
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: give your flowers for that, for like tapping into that early,

1323
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: because that's that's big. You know what I'm saying. That's

1324
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: my that's my most highest paid employee. My therapist. Oh shit, yeah,

1325
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: I pay him a lot, but show for show. He

1326
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: deserves it too.

1327
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: Say some of this way, because I tell you what,

1328
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: I'm your therapist.

1329
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: All that money you're making off these athletes are here.

1330
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: You don't need my change as you need that, you know,

1331
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: need my change.

1332
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 5: Another question for you, what would be your advice to

1333
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 5: younger athletes that want to become Olympians? Because I don't

1334
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 5: think people understand how hard it is to be an Olympian,

1335
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 5: let alone and have a gold medal.

1336
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 2: That you got around your neck right now. So man,

1337
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,919
Speaker 2: I think this advice is very good for these young kids.

1338
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 3: I would say my advice to younger athletes is first off,

1339
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 3: to be realistic with yourself.

1340
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 6: And I say that because some athletes would.

1341
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 3: Say that they want to be Olympians, they want to

1342
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 3: do this, they want to do that, but their work

1343
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 3: ethic don't match the goals that they have in mind.

1344
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 3: So I would definitely say start with being realistic and

1345
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 3: then write down your goals and set time frames for

1346
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 3: your goals so you can accomplish it and you can

1347
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 3: see it every day. You can write that same goal

1348
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 3: down every day in the morning or at night, or

1349
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 3: you could do morning and night. You know, just write

1350
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 3: it down, set of time for I need to accomplish

1351
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 3: it by this, but also do them in small milestones.

1352
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: Don't try to just go for the biggest goal right

1353
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 3: off rip. Just take your way up to the ranks

1354
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 3: and then eventually you accomplish that the biggest goal that

1355
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 3: you have. And I would ever say, do your research

1356
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 3: on your sport and you know those that came before you,

1357
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 3: and understand your sport, like what it takes to do,

1358
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 3: what it is to be the best in your sport,

1359
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 3: if that's what you want to accomplish, your where you

1360
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 3: want to go. Because that's what helped me a lot,

1361
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 3: was writing my goals down and just being able to

1362
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 3: see them. Like when I went to USC, before track

1363
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 3: parties even started, I was in summer courses. I couldn't

1364
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 3: even train yet because I had to get physicals and stuff.

1365
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 3: But I was already thinking that far ahead, and I

1366
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: was like, within my four years at USC, I want

1367
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 3: to break Angela Williams's school record, which was eleven o four.

1368
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 3: And I was like, I wanted to break with them

1369
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 3: my four years. I broke it in my freshman year.

1370
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 3: I ran ten ninety nine my freshman year, and I

1371
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 3: just wrote literally on camping in July. Season didn't start

1372
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 3: till January. Indoor season first at that, and I just

1373
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 3: wrote down all the goals I went accomplished. I bote

1374
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 3: the freshmen and school record my freshman year, and then

1375
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 3: everything else just kept popping it after that. So I

1376
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 3: feel like writing down your golden stuff will make things

1377
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: be realistic, and as a younger athlete, don't rush your

1378
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 3: journey and don't compare yourself to others, you know, I

1379
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 3: feel like nowadays, the younger athletes are running so much

1380
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 3: more faster than what we were used to run, which

1381
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 3: kudos to them. But then later down the line, some

1382
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 3: of the athletes are getting popped with drug tests because

1383
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 3: they don't know what they're putting in their body, and

1384
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 3: they're trusting certain people, and it's so unfortunate that their

1385
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 3: life had to be taken away from them because now

1386
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 3: they have to face suspensions or they have to do

1387
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 3: this and that because they're rushing their process. For me,

1388
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 3: I never lift the weights until I got to college,

1389
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 3: like I didn't lift the weights at all in high

1390
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 3: school because I just trusted my coach and trusted the process.

1391
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 6: And then I would definitely say, just have that support

1392
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 6: system and just have fun with it. Whatever you do,

1393
00:55:58,719 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 6: have fun.

1394
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: I got another one. I got another one. Got to

1395
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: be able to deal with adversity, Yes, you got to

1396
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 1: be able to deal with adversity.

1397
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 3: So chimp hands are made depending on how you bounce back.

1398
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 3: You had some adversity, Yes, you had an injury in

1399
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 3: the Olympic year.

1400
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: Yes you had an injury and you had to deal

1401
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 1: with some adversity and you finally made the time or whatever,

1402
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: and so explain that how you dealt with that adversity,

1403
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: because listen, I get it. There are mental health issues

1404
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: and there are times where you reach out and need

1405
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: help and you got to have somebody step in. Sometimes

1406
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: you just gotta get through adversity and figure it out. Yep,

1407
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: there's time those times. Two things can be true, one

1408
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: that you can need help, one that you can need

1409
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: to talk to your therapist, and another time that you

1410
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: could just need to get through adversity. Talk about how

1411
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: you got through your adversity.

1412
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 3: So for me, I started track at the age of nine.

1413
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 3: I'm twenty five now, and obviously at least injuries come

1414
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 3: with the sport. But for me, I never I had

1415
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 3: the privilege never been injured throughout my whole career. I'm

1416
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 3: talking about, I never set out. The most I set

1417
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 3: out for USC was because I stole my too on concrete.

1418
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,919
Speaker 3: That was the most I said out. And that shit hurt, yes,

1419
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 3: and they thought I broke my everybody.

1420
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 6: It was bad.

1421
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 3: But other than that, I never had to deal with

1422
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 3: any type of injury. Again, come Olympic year and I

1423
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 3: get injured, and I'm like, out of all the years

1424
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 3: of me competing, it would happen and the biggest year

1425
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 3: of them all in the Olympic season. But I'm thankful

1426
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 3: for that injury because it taught me a lot, and

1427
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 3: it taught me how to advocate for myself because for me,

1428
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm more so the person that's always doing for others,

1429
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 3: always helping others, put others before myself, like my culture are.

1430
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 3: I always tell me you always point at everybody else

1431
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 3: cup and don't never really pour in your cup. And

1432
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 3: I've learned with that injury to advocate for myself more.

1433
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 3: You know, when I had before I got that injury,

1434
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 3: I had some little knacks that I was dealing with

1435
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 3: that may have just been powered up for me competing

1436
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 3: for so long, and I went out. I reached out

1437
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 3: to some doctors and I was like, Hey, can we

1438
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 3: get my leg looked at? Because I'm maintaining it. I'm

1439
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 3: cool with it, but if we can get it figured

1440
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 3: out and figure out what it is, I'd rather figure

1441
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 3: out what it is and we can tailor it differently

1442
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 3: than what we're doing because I've been maintaining it for years.

1443
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 3: It's Olympic year. If we can get it figured out,

1444
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 3: let's do that. So I reached out to that, and

1445
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, can we get an ultrasound done? Because there's

1446
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,439
Speaker 3: so many things that can be going on a coach

1447
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 3: thinking maybe you just not getting enough blood circulation to

1448
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 3: the leg.

1449
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 6: Maybe it's this, maybe it's that. So like, can we

1450
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 6: just do a ultrasound?

1451
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 3: So the doctor goes, well, I'm gonna just reach out

1452
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 3: to some other people and get their advice and then

1453
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 3: I'll come back to you.

1454
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 6: So you come up to me.

1455
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 3: Hey, I heard from the other people, and based off

1456
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 3: their stuff, I think we should do an MRI. I

1457
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 3: told them I don't need an MRI. I did an

1458
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 3: mride my senior year when I started feeling this stuff.

1459
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 3: Nothing came up on the MRI. I never injured myself

1460
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 3: before that MRI. I didn't injure myself. After the MRI,

1461
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 3: m my ride gonna be pointless.

1462
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 6: So I just listened to them. Let them do what

1463
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 6: they do.

1464
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 3: He order m ride with get the MRO done. Nothing

1465
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 3: shows up on the MRI. Mom like, there's something in

1466
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: this lick. I know I'm not tripping because it's one thing.

1467
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 3: If I actually say they keep feeling something and they

1468
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 3: point into different spots, I point to the same exact spot.

1469
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 3: Every time, so I know what I'm feeling. So I like, okay,

1470
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna just go my own route there. So I

1471
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 3: reach out to my to doctor Cooper here in Miami,

1472
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 3: one of my connections I made through high school, and

1473
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, doctor Cooper, can I come into your

1474
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 3: place so y'all can do a ultrasound on my leg

1475
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 3: and tell me what y'all see.

1476
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 6: So I go in there and dot the.

1477
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 3: Cooper do a ultrasound on my lig long and behold,

1478
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 3: they found stuff through the ultrasound, and it's so much

1479
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 3: fibrotic tissue in my leg that the man was surprised

1480
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 3: that I haven't pulled my ham screen. He's like, I'm

1481
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 3: surprised you haven't tore your hamscring off the bone yet

1482
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 3: because it's so much fibronic tissue just built up in

1483
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 3: that leg. So I go ahead, I get a proceed

1484
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 3: with a PRP shot in that leg. Cool, taking things slow.

1485
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 3: That leg is fine, everything's good. Still, that leg was

1486
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 3: an injury.

1487
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 6: I'm just taking care of that. It was a nag.

1488
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 3: So he get it taken care of. Then maybe like

1489
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 3: two weeks after that, I scrained my left hand screen.

1490
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 3: When I got the PRP on my right wing, so

1491
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 3: I SCRAMed the left wing me and Kulture, trying to

1492
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 3: be autimistically thinking.

1493
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 6: Maybe it's just a cramp.

1494
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 3: But the day going on, I still can't really walk

1495
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 3: on that lin, like I'm feeling pain as I'm walking

1496
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 3: on that leg. So one of my athletes go and

1497
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 3: they like, I don't think that's a cramp. Like, I

1498
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 3: know you're trying to be our sins, but I don't

1499
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 3: think it's a cramp. I think you need to get

1500
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 3: that checked out. So I reached out to one of

1501
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 3: my Orlando people. He never responded, ego issues whatever. So

1502
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I'm just go back my route. I'm

1503
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 3: going back to doctor Cooper. I feel like I may

1504
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 3: have pulled my hams through or did something. When can

1505
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 3: you get me in? When can you look at me?

1506
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 3: He's like, okay, I can get you in Monday or something.

1507
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 3: But it was a whole week then went by because

1508
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 3: my doctor in Orlando doing every the ego issues, so

1509
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 3: I had to push him to the side. So I'm like, okay,

1510
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 3: well I only have doctor Cooper, but I have to

1511
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 3: wait because that's the only veilabit they have. So a

1512
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 3: week done passed by. I finally go to doctor Cooper

1513
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, it's a screen, You're done screening it.

1514
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 3: But I don't think it was that crazy ever screaming

1515
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 3: because they gave me the option on do you want

1516
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 3: to do PRP or not, so I'm not just go ahead,

1517
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 3: get it done because it's an Olympic year.

1518
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 6: We're in February.

1519
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 3: Season starts in March, and I've been having the best

1520
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 3: practices I've had since I've been with Dennis, and we

1521
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 3: know I was gonna be on track to open up

1522
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 3: with a great opener when it was time for me

1523
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 3: to compete. So we're like, okay, we got a dial

1524
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 3: back and we get that done, and then I'm easing

1525
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 3: back into it. And then one of the days we

1526
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 3: just pushed too hard in practice, boom back down again.

1527
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 6: I done aggravated it at this point.

1528
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 3: So my mindset then already because I've got my sports

1529
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 3: I called you out a therapist.

1530
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 6: My mindset, Dan is.

1531
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 3: Just looking at it at a different perspective. Don't not

1532
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 3: being negative about it nothing. I'm just like my physical

1533
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 3: therapist at the times out there, Jericha, and she's one

1534
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 3: of the best I think her so.

1535
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 6: Much, like I really call her my life saving.

1536
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 3: She's out there when I went down and then lo

1537
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 3: and behold it's her last day working with USA TF.

1538
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 3: So she come out there out. Don't put her to

1539
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 3: work on her last day. So she looked at it,

1540
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 3: she massaged her stuff. She's like, oh no, it's nothing

1541
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 3: too crazy, it's just fatigued. Don't don't beat yourself up

1542
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 3: about it. I was like, okay, well, I'm optimistic about it.

1543
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 3: I'm cool, but go talk to coach and let him

1544
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 3: know because I don't want him beat himself up about it,

1545
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 3: because then if he beat himself up about it, not

1546
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 3: Unfinna feels some type of way because he feels the

1547
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 3: type of way about it when we don't need that.

1548
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 6: So go talk to him too.

1549
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 3: So we both go talk to him and were like, coach,

1550
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 3: don't read about it. Like he's like, dang, babe, I

1551
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 3: would have just gave you a few more seconds to resk.

1552
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:48,959
Speaker 3: I was like, coach, don't red about like. It's okay,

1553
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 3: we live, we learn, we gonna be good. And then

1554
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 3: going into like I went end up running China. I

1555
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 3: knew I was gonna have the fitness. I knew I

1556
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 3: was gonna run slow out there, but it was just

1557
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 3: might up just getting to work out in overseas. So

1558
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 3: I ran the two China's Meet, running like twenty three

1559
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 3: those times I run in high school. But I'm still optimates.

1560
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 3: At the point, I'm like, okay, I'm running injury free.

1561
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 3: I'm looking for the good things because I was told

1562
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 3: stop looking for the negatives. I'm like, okay, well I

1563
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 3: ran injury free. I'm not hurting.

1564
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 6: I'm happy with it.

1565
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 3: The time I could care less about it. I knew

1566
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 3: I was gonna run fast because I haven't been training

1567
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 3: for No.

1568
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:19,439
Speaker 6: Two hundred. I'm cool.

1569
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 3: So I'm like, the next meat I go in, I'm

1570
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 3: gonna just try to run a little faster. I end

1571
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 3: up running slower, but I'm like, okay, but look at

1572
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 3: the conditions here compared to conditions under me. It's cold here,

1573
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 3: this and that. But I'm cool with I know I'll

1574
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 3: be ready in time. So now the time has come

1575
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 3: to run one hundred. I run my first meet, ran

1576
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 3: eleven thirty seven. I'm still looking at okay, I'm injury free. Fully,

1577
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 3: I'm not feeling no type of nags. I'm okay with it.

1578
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 3: Next meat, I'll get better. And I just kept shaving down.

1579
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 3: But now as I'm going into the Olympic Trials, Normally

1580
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 3: I go in and where at least six meets already competed,

1581
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 3: so I know where I'm at.

1582
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 6: My confidence is already there.

1583
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 3: But this time I only go in with two meats

1584
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: and it's the time of eleven three and I think

1585
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 3: eleven to one, which are sub part times for me,

1586
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 3: and I'm like, okay, but just do what you need

1587
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 3: to do.

1588
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 6: Go through the round.

1589
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 3: So I ran the first round, ran eleven oh seven. Okay, okay,

1590
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 3: I'm shaving down from the last time. I ran second

1591
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 3: round eleven oh four. I barely make it in. But

1592
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 3: for me, all I need is at one spot. But

1593
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 3: I could just get in on time or get the

1594
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 3: last body in.

1595
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 6: I'm cool.

1596
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 3: I think I actually got the last time in going

1597
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 3: into the finals of trials. And then at this time

1598
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 3: I blocked out social medium for like two weeks leading

1599
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 3: up into trials and in through trials until I got

1600
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 3: the job that I need to do. So I blocked

1601
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 3: out social medium and I'm just sticking with my coach.

1602
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 3: I ran I got the last Friday. I'm like Okay, Coach,

1603
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 3: what do I need to do? He like, okay, you

1604
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 3: sleeping in this part of the race.

1605
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 6: You're not doing this.

1606
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 3: You're not doing this in that purpose. I said, okay, coach.

1607
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 3: Coach Carroll is also there. I maintain a relationship with

1608
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 3: Coach Carroll.

1609
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 6: Still.

1610
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 3: Coach Carroll know how to get through to me. So

1611
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 3: we spent four years together, so she know what to

1612
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 3: say to push certain Brannons. So I was like, Coach Carroll, wait,

1613
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 3: I need to talk to you right now. Come on,

1614
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 3: I'm on the table getting worked on, trying to get

1615
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 3: rid out real quick. She comes to talk to me.

1616
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 3: You need to do s y z them girls can't

1617
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 3: do this and do that like you just need to fight.

1618
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 3: So I said, okay, I think my daddy was at

1619
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 3: trial too.

1620
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 6: I said, daddy be.

1621
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 3: At the seventy meter mark because coach said, I'm sleeping

1622
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 3: right there, and I can hear if it's anybody's voice,

1623
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 3: I can hear. I can hear my dad voice in

1624
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 3: the crowd. So I'm like, daddy be at seventy because

1625
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 3: coach said, I'm sleeping right there, and I.

1626
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 6: Need you to be right there so I can hear you.

1627
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 6: Everybody do their job do they need to do.

1628
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 3: I'm in Laying one. I know I'm gonna be out there.

1629
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 3: The race is gonna be to the right of me.

1630
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 3: I'm not really gonna feel nobody. Coach Carl's like, you

1631
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 3: gotta get out on the girls. That's gonna be in

1632
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 3: Laying one and two. You gotta be hit them at

1633
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 3: the beginning. I do that, and I'm just fighting and

1634
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 3: just pushing through. But before I even start the race,

1635
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 3: I look down that track and I say, run like

1636
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 3: you're on second leg in twenty twenty three, because I

1637
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 3: know I ran a crazy leg in twenty twenty three,

1638
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 3: So I'm like, if you run like that, you got

1639
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,439
Speaker 3: a shot and making this team.

1640
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 6: And that's what I did.

1641
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 3: So I feel like when it came to my injury

1642
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 3: this year, even though it's in the Olympic year, the

1643
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 3: biggest year of them all, I also looked at the

1644
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 3: Olympic year as just another year, so I don't put

1645
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 3: that extra pressure on myself and feel like I had

1646
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 3: to do anything differently, and it was just all a

1647
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 3: matter of mindset. That was the biggest thing for me

1648
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 3: this year. It was mindset and advocating for myself because

1649
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 3: I feel like if I probably never I said anything

1650
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 3: early in the year to get things taken care of,

1651
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 3: I probably would still be dealing with those same nags

1652
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 3: right now because I'm just so used to always just

1653
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 3: being like, okay, okay, okay. If somebody says something, as

1654
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 3: long as I trust you and it's nothing to crazy,

1655
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 3: you not leading me off tracking nothing, I'm just be

1656
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 3: okay with it. But I have to learn to it's

1657
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 3: okay to say no to people sometimes and step up

1658
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 3: for yourself. So that was the biggest thing that I

1659
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 3: learned from that injury, And I feel like that injury

1660
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 3: also allowed me to make connections with certain people like

1661
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 3: I'm thankful for Melissa and Shakrr. You know, it was

1662
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 3: times where Sha Carrie brought somebody in to work on

1663
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 3: her and she's like, Hey, I can't use this person's day.

1664
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 3: Do you mind using them just because I already paid

1665
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 3: for you don't even got rid about paying. And one

1666
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 3: of the individuals that she introduced me to was able

1667
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 3: to tell me like, why aren't you doing any rehab?

1668
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 6: But why aren't you doing this or that for your leg?

1669
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 6: So it came down to it, like, you know, you

1670
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:47,919
Speaker 6: get an injury.

1671
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 3: You gotta re teach that leg and I wasn't doing that,

1672
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 3: but I didn't know because I wasn't told to.

1673
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 6: And he's doing this drill. He's like trying to get

1674
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 6: my leg to fire.

1675
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 3: So my right leg is firing amazing, but when it

1676
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 3: came to my left leg is like I was forgeting

1677
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 3: and had a fire that leg. So like he's doing

1678
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 3: like a little top like this, and my foot supposed

1679
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:04,959
Speaker 3: to hit back and it's like my foot is going.

1680
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 6: Slower.

1681
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 3: But then I was able to maintain a relationship with him,

1682
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 3: and when he came out to certain met she was like, hey,

1683
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 3: do you want to get a couple of time in

1684
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 3: and he was just kept doing on firing drids. Then

1685
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 3: I was from that point for when Sha Carrie introduced

1686
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 3: me to him, to be able to like I knew him,

1687
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 3: but not to that extent.

1688
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 6: But Sha Carrie introduced me to him, allowed me to

1689
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 6: use him for that.

1690
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 3: Whole week without even wearing But I have to cover

1691
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,200
