1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: You're not going to always win, and if I was

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: only exposed to winning every single time, I wouldn't be

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: able to last in this profession. So I just feel

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: like everything that you experience, good or bad, is going

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: to shape you and soe who you are.

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 2: What's going on?

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,600

Speaker 3: the way. I am next level excited to bring you

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: this week's conversation with one of the fastest women on

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 3: planet Earth, Rashida at a Leka.

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: She's a Nike athlete.

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: We had this conversation live in Austin during the running

21
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: event at Nike's Women's Community Night, and what a time

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: was had. Not only were the community ViBe's elites, but

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: we had a blast. Rashida is an Olympian. She went

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: to college at ut but competed at this Summer's Games

25
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: for Ireland, where she was born and raised. In the episode,

26
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: we talk about such powerful stuff, including themes of resilience,

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: overcoming adversity, dealing with quote unquote the haters, and how

28
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: she's finding her fast. She talks about adapting and homing

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: in on her technique to run more efficiently, what it

30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: was like to make that really big transition moving from

31
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: Ireland to Texas, and how she navigated a massive disappointment

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: coming in fourth in the four hundred meters in Paris.

33
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: To say that I appreciated Rashida's vulnerability would be an understatement.

34
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: It is so powerful her story, her tenacity, the way

35
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: that she sees competition as an opportunity for growth. She's

36
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: putting in the work and modeling for so many that

37
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: when you truly believe in yourself, the sky is a limit.

38
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: A massive thank you to my friends at Nike for

39
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: empowering me to be up on the stage with her,

40
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: for giving us a platform to motivate each other to

41
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: come together in community. This is a high that I'm

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,880

Speaker 4: To me, yes May twenty twenty fours, twenty.

68
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: Four, twenty four. A lot has happened for you in

69
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: the last year. How does it feel to be back here?

70
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: Also this week from any of you in town visiting

71
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: knowing that is also the running event, So a lot's

72
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: happened for you since the running event twenty twenty three?

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: How's it feel to be back?

74
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 4: It's crazy.

75
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I was literally just saying how it feels

76
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: like I was just here yesterday?

77
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 4: And so much has happened. So much has changed in

78
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: my life since the last time I was.

79
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Here, from graduating to becoming a full time professional athlete

80
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: and going to the Olympics.

81
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: Just so much going on, just casually going to the Olympics.

82
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: No big deal, no big, no big deal. We'll get

83
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: into the Olympics in a little bit. But first and foremost,

84
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: I want to talk a little bit about something that

85
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: I know many of these women in the front row

86
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: and resonate with, and that is the adaptations that you

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: have made to your running form as you came into

88
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: your own within running. Talk to me a little bit

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: about what you changed with your running form and how

90
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 3: that helped you progress within the sport.

91
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: My technique was literally terrible when I first started running,

92
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: and my coach would get at me all the time,

93
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: but I thought it was pretty perfect that my technique,

94
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: but he taught.

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: Other was so yeah.

96
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: When I got to ut, he was literally horrified at

97
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: the way I ran. Coach flow, so I had to

98
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: first of all, get my arms right because I used

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: to run my arms out and my elbows were going out,

100
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: and he had to make sure I was swinging them

101
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: in a good motion that's going to promote going forward

102
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: and not swaying from side to side my knees. I

103
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: did not left my knees at all. I was basically

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: dragging my legs across the track, so he needed.

105
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 4: To get that right too.

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: And I think the main thing was using my core

107
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: what I was running, because I would arch my back,

108
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: especially when I started it's a fatigue, I would arch

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: my back and that shortened my stride. So he wants

110
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: to make sure that I was keeping my forman in upright,

111
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: so then I'd have a longer stride and be able

112
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: to lift my knees higher.

113
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: It's all helpful, right, and it all counts.

114
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: You think it's just working on the run itself, but

115
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: the run has so many different components.

116
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all the little things that you won't realize

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: because when you go onto the truck or you on

118
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: you go on a run, you just think, Okay, I'm

119
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: just running and then you know I'm trying to shave

120
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: the time. But it's those little things up to one

121
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: percentages you can change and your technique and strengthening just

122
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: so many different aspects that will go towards you being

123
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: able to run better and faster and faster.

124
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: Speaking of running faster, you cut off an entire second,

125
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: which just for context, when you run around the track

126
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 3: in the way that you do, cutting off an entire

127
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: second is a lot of time, right, So cut off

128
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: an entire second from your time in twenty twenty four.

129
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: Do you think that's the form change that's really helping

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: you with that or what else do you attribute that to?

131
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: That was a couple of things.

132
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: I think because I was newly introduced to the four

133
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: hundred meters, I had so much more improvements to be made,

134
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: So I think that came along with training. I was

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: doing more volume in my training, so I was able

136
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: to do longer distances that would generally apply to me

137
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: being able to run farther and faster in the fourhundred

138
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: meters and definitely technique definitely applied. But I think also

139
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: competing and training with girls who were better than me

140
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: helped me improve. Also, because I wasn't the leader of

141
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: the pack anymore, I had to keep up in every

142
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: single training session, so mentally and physically that strengthened me

143
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: and helped me run faster.

144
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that really applies beyond running, right,

145
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: when you want to level up, it's so inspiring to

146
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: surround yourself with individuals who you look up to, who

147
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: you aspire to, right, because any of the opportunity to

148
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: learn something.

149
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.

150
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: M I felt like when I was around, even with

151
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: track and in order spaces and aspect, being too comfortable

152
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: didn't allow me to grow. So when I put myself

153
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: situations where I was uncomfortable, I was learning new things,

154
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: gaining experiences. Sometimes you fail and sometimes you're going to

155
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: learn things from that failure. So it was very important

156
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: for me to experience those those aspects. So then I

157
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: was able to grow and get better in several different avenues.

158
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: And that's a mindset shift right is getting to that

159
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: place where you don't necessarily view failure as something that's bad.

160
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: You view failure as.

161
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: Something that empowers you, as something that you can learn from. So,

162
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: speaking of mindset, have you done any specifically for mindset

163
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: training that has helped you level up within this sport

164
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: to get to where you are now?

165
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that helped my mindset and

166
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: sport was experience. I did try to talk to a

167
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: psychologist and it did help in different aspects, but I

168
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: think how I really was able to level up was

169
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: true experiencing failure. And one thing my coach told me

170
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: coming to ut was because I from Dublin, Ireland, it's

171
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: a smaller country and in track, I was a big

172
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: fish in a small pond almost, and when I came

173
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: to Texas, I was competing against some of the best

174
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: athletes in the world.

175
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 4: Literally the times.

176
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: That they were running were world class, and now I

177
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: was a small fish in a big pond. So I

178
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: had to kind of get used to losing, which was

179
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: really hard because I would never lose when I was

180
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: back home, when I was competing on the European circuit.

181
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: So he always said, you need to have short term memory.

182
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: With failure, you need to be able to get over

183
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: that hump and keep going. Don't let it drag you down,

184
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: don't let it defer your progress, because if you sit

185
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: on your failure for too long, it's going to take

186
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: you so much longer to get to the success. So

187
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: if something bad happens or it's not going the way

188
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: you anticipated it for to go, you need to get

189
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: over it and action. You know what am I going

190
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: to do to make this better? So I think that

191
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: was probably the biggest thing on Aaron that helped me

192
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: make progress.

193
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: That goldfish mindset.

194
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: So, as you mentioned, growing up in Ireland. Also fun fact,

195
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: I've run a marathon in Dublin. So now you and

196
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: I have this in comment. Yeah twins Irish friends. But

197
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: beyond that, growing up in Dublin, Ireland very different than

198
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 3: being here in Austin. Share a little bit with us

199
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: about that shift. What made you want to come to

200
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: Austin and how was that experience from the get go?

201
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was hard at first coming out. I think

202
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: people were quite negative about me coming over. Initially they

203
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: were like, oh, you're gonna be, as I said, going

204
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: to be a small fish in a big pond. You know,

205
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be very hard to adapt to being

206
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: over there. You're not going to have your family, your friends,

207
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: and you know, although that was true.

208
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: I saw it as a positive risk.

209
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, people, so it's a risk if you go,

210
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: you might get injured, you might do this, you might

211
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: not work, And I feel like sometimes you need to

212
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: take those risks.

213
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: And you know, it was calculated. I knew that to

214
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 4: be the best.

215
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: In the world and to do what I wanted to

216
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: do and what I loved and make a career of it,

217
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: I was going to need to make that change and

218
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: it was hard at first, but I think I made

219
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: it a priority to surround myself with people who are

220
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: going to help me elevate and help me feel comfortable.

221
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: You know. I had my team which had a lot

222
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: of anternacial students, so that also gut that like family aspect.

223
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: My coach was very good at being able to make

224
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: me feel comfortable. The staff, so the transition was you know,

225
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: they made the tradition a lot easier. But I really

226
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: was hard because my mom was such a big aspect

227
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: of my life, especially being in Ireland on my friends

228
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: and my family and not having her out here to

229
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, just give that support and that motally loave

230
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: that you know, you kind of lean on on a

231
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: daily basis. That was very hard, especially when the times

232
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: were tolf and I wasn't competing well and everything was

233
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: new and I had to meet new people and make

234
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: new friends. But it took time and I just had

235
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: to learn to have patience and you know, accept the process.

236
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: You're or false you started doing your own laundry when

237
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: you moved to the United States.

238
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like saying my mom was a big aspect,

239
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: she was a huge aspect in my life in Ireland.

240
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: No, at the very least with the laundry, right, but

241
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: beyond that, I mean, as you mentioned strong relationship with

242
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: your mom, such an amazing role model for you.

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 2: How would you say that that special?

244
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: I would say intimacy with her really shaped who you are, let.

245
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: In every way, almost like my morals, my ethics, my

246
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: work ethic, everything that I am today is kind of

247
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: like a mold of who she is. And I looked

248
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: up to where she was very hard work and very determined.

249
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: She did so much for me to be able to

250
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: achieve my goals. She would literally change your shifts at work. No,

251
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: she was a single mom, so like it was me

252
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: and my trace, my two siblings, and she would be

253
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: at work and she would literally take her twenty minute

254
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: lunch break, she would come pick me up, take me

255
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: to training, and.

256
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 4: Go back to work.

257
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: And she just did so much to make sure that

258
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: I was happy, my siblings were happy, and we had

259
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: every single opportunity we could to be successful and do

260
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: what we love to do. So, yeah, it means so

261
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: much for me to be where I am because I

262
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't be here without her. And every time, you know,

263
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh, this is hard, Like I don't

264
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: know if I can keep doing this. Sometimes you know

265
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: them times you have hard days, I'm like, I have

266
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: to do this because she sacrificed so much for me

267
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: to get here.

268
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you just learned that mindset from her. You

269
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: learned there's no other options. Exactly how valuable is that?

270
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: So it sounds like you have a lot to be

271
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 3: grateful for from your upbringing. When you reflect on your

272
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: upbringing in Ireland, what would you say, aside from the

273
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: time with your mom and her dedication to you and

274
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: your siblings, that you're most grateful for.

275
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 4: Irish people are really really nice.

276
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: So I think being around at it just taught me

277
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: to be really kind and to show respect to everyone,

278
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: because that's all I was surrounded by.

279
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: So it definitely ropped off on me.

280
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: And I've been to so many different countries, some different places,

281
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: and I just realized how kind and genuine Irish people were,

282
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: So that definitely had an effect. And I feel like

283
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: how I wanted to present myself on the person that

284
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to be.

285
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: You know, what I think is awesome though, I truly

286
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: believe that energy attracts like energy, right, and so I'm

287
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: not saying that the people.

288
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: Here aren't very nice as well. You all are very

289
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: kind and wonderful.

290
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: Spoken from a New Yorker who maybe not a everyone

291
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: is this kind, But you came here and you brought

292
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: that light with you, and that light attracts other light,

293
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: and so did you find that when you got.

294
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: Here that you felt a warm sense of welcome?

295
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely like when I was around my teammates and even

296
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: regulars too. I hate saying that, sorry, even like non athletes, oh.

297
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: As regular folks in the room. It's the non superhumans,

298
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: it's us, it's me.

299
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 4: Non athletes regular.

300
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: It was really easy to make friends because I felt

301
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: like when I was just being myself and the people

302
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: who I attracted were very similar to me. So yeah,

303
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: I made a really nice community being out here in

304
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: Austin that I still have now that I'm still here.

305
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I was regular folks.

306
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: Now, you first started athletics at fourteen, which is so impressive,

307
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: and from the get go you were wildly successful at it.

308
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: Did that impose or put a certain amount on pressure

309
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: on you, of pressure on you to succeed do well?

310
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: And how did that feel for you?

311
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I think starting off, I put a lot of pressure

312
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: on myself, so I was definitely had the high achiever mindset.

313
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to win everything from the very first day

314
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: I stepped on the track, and that wasn't exactly how

315
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: it went because I had joined, but there were people

316
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: who had been training since there were eight, ten, eleven,

317
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: and they were really good. So I thought I was

318
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: going to start doing my very first rate the next

319
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: day and blow everyone up to the park, and that

320
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: definitely didn't happen. So it was learning to adapt and

321
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: continuing to have the mindset that regardless of what happens,

322
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: my goals remained the same. And as I got better,

323
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: and as I achieved more success, I just made sure

324
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: that my goals didn't change. You know, being at the

325
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: top is just so that I have to do, and

326
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: I worked very hard to achieve. So that's carried on

327
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: even to the point that I am now.

328
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and beyond setting goals that might have something to

329
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 3: do with time, you also have this opportunity that is

330
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: unique to define what.

331
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: Success feels like or or looks like to you.

332
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: Right, So, for you, when you think about success today,

333
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: what does that feel like to you? What does that

334
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: look like to you? What is success in your definition?

335
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: I think making progress every day and becoming a better

336
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: version of myself that's success because I'm better than I

337
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: was yesterday. And although we sometimes have these goals and

338
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: we don't see ourselves as successful until we've reached that goal,

339
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: becoming a better person and becoming a better version of

340
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: yourself every single day is success within itself. And not

341
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: to say that those goals shouldn't be there, They definitely

342
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: should be there because it gives us something to go

343
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: for and something to reach for. But I think just

344
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: having that mindset that I'm getting better every day and

345
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm becoming a better version of myself is really important

346
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: because I feel like we're so hard on ourselves sometimes.

347
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: It's so true.

348
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 3: But you mentioned moving to Texas and then becoming a

349
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: small fish in a big pond, right, you came from

350
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: being at the top of the top, So coming here

351
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: and having to learn these hard lessons about success because

352
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: it wasn't every day that you were coming in first,

353
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: was that challenging.

354
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: It definitely was.

355
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: It was a lot of tears, like, and that's normal,

356
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: and that's okay because we're gonna feel whatever emotions.

357
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: We're gonna feel like it's okay to feel those emotions.

358
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: But I think it definitely just taught me so much

359
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: about myself, about my mindset, and I grew and it

360
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: was necessary making that move and feeling those emotions and

361
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: having those losses shape me to who I am today.

362
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Because the professional world is so much harder than even

363
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: in college, so you're not going to always win.

364
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: And if I was only exposed to.

365
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: Win in every single time, I wouldn't be able to

366
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: last in this profession. So I just feel like everything

367
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: that you experience, good or bad, is.

368
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: Going to shape you into who you are totally.

369
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: And I'm going to double tap on your decision to

370
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 3: go pro in just a second.

371
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: But you bring up such a.

372
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: Truly valuable point here, which is that again, we have

373
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 3: this opportunity to frame our mindset and to understand that

374
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: not everything is going to always go as we'd hoped.

375
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: And someone once taught me that when things don't go

376
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 3: as you'd hoped. To your point, you have this opportunity

377
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: then to feel your feelings, and it's an it's a

378
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 3: privilege to get there, right, It's a privilege to feel

379
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 3: your feelings so that you can learn from that moment

380
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: and then you can move on. No one works hard

381
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: for things not to go as they'd hoped, right, who's

382
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: ever failed at something?

383
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: Oh?

384
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: Yep, hi, every hand in the room, we've all failed

385
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: at something right. So now we have this opportunity then

386
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: to figure out what we do with that failure. How

387
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: do you learn from that failure so you can move

388
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 3: in the direction that you want to go.

389
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: Now on turning pro.

390
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 3: You made the decision in twenty twenty three to forego

391
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: your eligibility turn pro.

392
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: Firstly, how did that feel for you?

393
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 3: And how has your first year been as a Nike athlete?

394
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: Amazing?

395
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: So turn and pro It's so crazy because it happened

396
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: so quickly. My first year, one of the four unereiters,

397
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: I ended up putting NTAA Championships and it just it

398
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: was at home in Austin, Texas. Our team won, and

399
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: it just spent like the perfect time to turn professional.

400
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because that was such a monumental achievement

401
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: and it happened so fast that I don't feel like

402
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: I really got to appreciate at the time because go

403
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: and pro was something that you only hoped you could

404
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: do as a child growing up and doing athletics. And

405
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: when it happened, and when it was happening, I think

406
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: because while I was running and performing as I was

407
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: in college, it was almost expected like oh, I'm gonna

408
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: copro at the end of this, so you know, it

409
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: didn't feel like, oh my god, I just signed my

410
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: first personal contract. And also because I was still competing,

411
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: I had world championships, I didn't get to really take

412
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: in that whole moment and rejoice. But I think once

413
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: the season ended in twenty twenty three, I was really

414
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: able to sit down and realize, like my dream coming true,

415
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: Like I'm a Nike professional athlete, something that I had

416
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: dreamed of since I was young, like I would have

417
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: all the Nike pros growing up, I'd have all the

418
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: latest Nike trainers.

419
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 2: The girls in the Fever were like, yuh, Like I.

420
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: Spent all my mum's money on getting the latest of

421
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: everything Nike. So when it happened, you know, I really

422
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: I really now get to appreciate, like, this is what

423
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: I've dreamed of. So it's amazing. My first year as

424
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: a professional athlete was great, ups and downs. You know,

425
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I feel the first year as a professional athlete. They

426
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: always says it is the hardest year because there's so

427
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: much adaptations that you have to make, And it definitely was,

428
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of.

429
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: New experiences, good and bad.

430
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: But as I say, they helped me shape how I

431
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: perceive things now and it's going to definitely help my future.

432
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: It's shaped like my.

433
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Whole like view on track, on hard work, on consistency, discipline,

434
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: and what it takes to really be the best at

435
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: what you do because it's very different to college.

436
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, can you shed some more light on some of

437
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: those adaptations.

438
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm super interested in that.

439
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

440
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: So I think in college life is so fast paced,

441
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, you have school, you have training, you try

442
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: to fit in a social life, and everything is just flowing.

443
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: But I think those things actually help. Although I was

444
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: still in school my first year as a professional athlete,

445
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: it was still different because I was on the team anymore.

446
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 4: So I had to make a couple of changes.

447
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: But now my coach and my trainers weren't pushing me

448
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: to do things.

449
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 4: I had to do them on my own.

450
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: So it's that part that I needed to have my

451
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: self discipline and my trainer ut isn't there to force

452
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: me to come in early and do my rehab anymore.

453
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 4: I have to do it on my own.

454
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: And I kind of struggled because I was so used

455
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: to getting that text, oh you coming in today to

456
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: do your rehab for practice, and I had to remember

457
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: to do it myself and just really small things like that.

458
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: It can build up to you not having that consistency

459
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: that you need to be able to make those improvements

460
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: that will translate to my performance on the track. So

461
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot of changes. I definitely learned a lot.

462
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: I still kind of had my college mindset as my

463
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: first years a professional, but I think now knowing what

464
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: it takes on what I need to do, I'm able

465
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: to make those changes for my next of common year.

466
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: And what I'm hearing you say is that self belief

467
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 3: is so important to going in this direction.

468
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: For you, I have to ask, what's your why?

469
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 3: Why is it that you keep showing up when it

470
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: doesn't feel so shiny and it doesn't feel so exciting

471
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 3: and you are a little fish in a very big pond.

472
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: What is your why?

473
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: I think because I've came so far to the point

474
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: where failure now isn't an option, Like it's too late

475
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: to turn back, and too many people are like looking

476
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: up to me and are inspired by what I do.

477
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: In Ireland, there's so many little girls that look up

478
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: to what I do and they send me these amazing

479
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: messages like you made me start running or my kids

480
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,120
Speaker 1: run because of you. And I have to kind of

481
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: set an great example for people who look up to me,

482
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: because I looked up to Odors too, So it's bigger

483
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: than me now and I'm not just doing it for myself.

484
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing it for semi other people who invested in me,

485
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: who gave up their time, who just believe in me

486
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: and believe in what I can do.

487
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 4: That you know, Fader just isn't an.

488
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: Option to forget Ireland. I mean, look at all the

489
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 3: women in this room, am I right? It's so true

490
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: and what an opportunity. And I think that that's always

491
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: something to remember is yes, you have so many eyes

492
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: on you, but each of us, every single day have

493
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: the opportunity to inspire someone. Regardless of how many people

494
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 3: are following you on social media. Right, every day you

495
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to be a kind and decent human

496
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 3: that shows up and can show someone else the way,

497
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: that can model the way by just being yourself.

498
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: And that's so so special.

499
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 3: Taking a break from today's episode to talk to you

500
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: about my sponsor at AG one morning routines.

Speaker 3: They are critical to me and one of the most

503
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: important parts of this routine is drinking my AG one.

505
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,320

506

Speaker 3: putting on those spikes, what else is a must before

537
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: you get on the track.

538
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: M Aside from like the typical e hydrate, sleep, recover

539
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: all that makeup, okay.

540
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: Makeup, hair.

541
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: I think the ladies are like, yes, yes, it's a

542
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: very like look good, feel good. Like I'm at the Olympics,

543
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: Like there's so many cameras, like I need to, you know,

544
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: look my best, so yeah, makeup and hair, just you know,

545
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: and just being able to get those pre race vibes

546
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: like I like to be in a good mood and

547
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: a good vibe before I go out to the track,

548
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: and that kind of releases all the tension that you

549
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: have before you compete, you know, at such a major level.

550
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: I you know, when I'm going out for a marathon,

551
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: Like it's just so different.

552
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, I wish it could be like that. Hair

553
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: has got to be on point.

554
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: I'm like by the second, by the fourth minute, I'm

555
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: like this is over.

556
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,800

Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, exactly, So it just said little there for like,

558
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: to practice, I do not wear Mako because I'm dying

559
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: a terrible death that practice. But when it's the race,

560
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm only running for forty nine hopefully for

561
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: eight forty seven seconds, So yeah, I just try to

562
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: make sure I, like, you look my best because it's

563
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,640

566
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: at least I'm looking. I'm looking Okay.

573
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: The Olympics.

574
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: First Olympics, What are the feelings arriving in Paris?

575
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: When I first walked into the Olympic Stadium, I mean

576
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: the Olympic village, it was like, oh my god, I

577
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: am here. It was that moment of realization something that

578
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: I've dreamed of for so long was actually happening, and

579
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: come into fruition. I'd walked in and I'd seen I

580
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: had all my suitcases on my Charlie. I was with

581
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: some of the staff from Marland, and all I saw

582
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: was all the flags and all the buildings and all

583
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: the athletes walking around, and they had our country gear on.

584
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: I've been to like the Youth Olympics some stuff, so

585
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: it was quite similar to that, but it was just.

586
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 4: Magnified like it.

587
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: It was just so special, and I was like, thank

588
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: you God, like I'm here, I made it, and I

589
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what I can do. I'm so

590
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: great for this opportunity. And they're like, let's get the

591
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: show on the road.

592
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: Do you say anything but civic to yourself when you're

593
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: on the starting blocks.

594
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: And.

595
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: I just kind of try to tell myself like you've

596
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: got this, you know, try to reassure myself, and you know,

597
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: I say a little prayer and I'm like, Okay, let's

598
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: let's go.

599
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: I think what's so impressive when I have the opportunity

600
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: to sit down with athletes of your caliber.

601
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: Is just this like resounding trust in the training.

602
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: It's it's really as though you get to this point

603
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: where you understand that when you show up you have

604
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: no other option. It's like getting to that start line

605
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: and not having your mind right. It's just like getting

606
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: to the start line and being like, oh, I'm I

607
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 3: need to train for X amount of hours I need

608
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: to put in this work.

609
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: It's like you arrive and you're there.

610
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: You are fully there, and so it's always so interesting

611
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: to hear about that that pre race moment before the

612
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: starting going gun goes off.

613
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.

614
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: I think having your mind right it's something that people

615
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: sometimes don't understand how to effect it can have Like

616
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: not being in the right headspace to compete is almost

617
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: like having like a sorny, you know, it's so much

618
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: it's just as important as the physical aspect to have

619
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: the mental aspect right. And sometimes that can be hard

620
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: because how do you get yourself right for a race.

621
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: It's so nerve wracking and it's so hard to be

622
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: able to get yourself psyched for some one that might

623
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: hurt because.

624
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 4: Some distances hurt to ron and.

625
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: It's just just the fear of failure as well. But

626
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: I think it's remembering why you do it and see

627
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: as opportunity, not a threat. You know, being able to compete,

628
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: being able to do something you like, something you love,

629
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity. And you know you want to bring

630
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: yourself to the line because you've worked for this and

631
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: this is now your time to show the world and

632
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: show yourself what you've been working on and show yourself

633
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: the progress you've been making.

634
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: It's all controlling the controllables, right, But the thing about

635
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 3: them is, no matter how much practice, right, there are

636
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: going to be times where it feels like we just

637
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 3: can't get it under control. There are gonna be moments

638
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: where it just feels bigger than us. So for you

639
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: to have that understanding like, okay, this is like to

640
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: an extent within my power and I'm just going to

641
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: take a deep breath and do what I do. And

642
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: so you went out there and you did what you did.

643
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: Talk to us about the final ten seconds of your

644
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: Olympic final. Where are you do you black out what happens.

645
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: In that moment?

646
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm tired.

647
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: I was first forty go by, I'm so tired.

648
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 4: But I think I was in about four place.

649
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: And I was edging myself into turred and I could

650
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: see for my PERI for view that I was now interred,

651
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, please hold on, hold on, hold on,

652
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: hold on. And it's so crazy, Becase because when the

653
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: girl was passing me, I just saw my metal running away.

654
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 4: And it's devastating because there's nothing you can do.

655
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: I literally can't move my legs any faster than I can, like,

656
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm so tired, I'm trying my very best, and it's

657
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: just nothing you can do in that moment, and it's

658
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: that feeling of like helplessness and something that you worked

659
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: so hard for so long and you dreamed of, like

660
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: I would, you know, envision myself an Olympic podium, and

661
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: when it doesn't happen and you cross that line and

662
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: you look at the screen and your name isn't the

663
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: top three and your name isn't where you want it

664
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: to be, it's like that's it. You know, now I

665
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: have to wait another four years to this again. So yeah,

666
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: it was it was really hard to get over. You know,

667
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: people kept, you know, trying to re storm like you're

668
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: so young, you did amazing, but you know, at the moment,

669
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: you're just like it's so hard to hear that.

670
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 4: It's so hard to hear. Oh, I'm proud.

671
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: It's so hard to hear you know, all the great

672
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: things people are saying, because you can only think of

673
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: the fact that I could only think of the fact

674
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: that I.

675
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 4: Didn't achieve what I set out to achieve.

676
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I feel like a couple. Even

677
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: like weeks after the Olympics, like I would just just

678
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: randomly start crying because like I would see what I didn't.

679
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 4: Have and what I didn't do.

680
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: So it was really hard to get over and I'm

681
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: still working on it. But it's experience and I learned

682
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: a lot from the experience, and you know, I feel

683
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: like I have the opportunity to do more and be

684
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: more these next couple of years. And that's all, you know,

685
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: There's nothing else I can do than to keep moving forward.

686
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cry right now. Shoot, thanks for sharing that.

687
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 3: And it goes back to what we were saying earlier,

688
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: right about you need to feel your feelings and if

689
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: you don't go through that period of time where you're

690
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: experiencing that, someone.

691
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 2: Get me a napkin. We need napkins from the bar

692
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: of on the stage. Please.

693
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 3: If you don't go through that moment to feel your feelings,

694
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 3: then you can't move forward. So to have that opportunity

695
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: to feel this and learn from this, thank you, Come

696
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 3: on up, Come on up, sweetie.

697
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: We are in this together. Thank you.

698
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: Yes, now you get to move forward just like you said,

699
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 3: and you get to use that moment that day as

700
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: your fire to keep showing up and pursuing your why

701
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: and embracing the badass human.

702
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: That you are. Thank you.

703
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure also that this teaches you about how you

704
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 3: want to navigate disappointment moving forward, right, And it also

705
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 3: shows you the goodness of the people that we keep

706
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 3: at our table, in our what I like to refer

707
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: to as our board of directors, right, Because when you

708
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: look around you and you see the people that support

709
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: you and the people that you care about, your mom,

710
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 3: the people that you articulated so beautifully are part of

711
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: your why, it encourages you to pick your chin up

712
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 3: and keep showing up. So, now that we've had some

713
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 3: time since the summer, what does showing up look like

714
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: for you these days?

715
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: I think always trying to remember that I need to

716
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: do my best to become bear at every single aspect

717
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: of my life. Really, so it goes so far beyond

718
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: just that like X, you know, I need to sleeper, hydrateer,

719
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: eat beer, and just overall becoming a better person mentally

720
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: and physically is going to help my performance. So that's

721
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: what showing up is like. It's I didn't that. Okay,

722
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, things might not have bet my way, But

723
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: what can I do now to make things go my way?

724
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: What can I do to you know, change my destiny

725
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: and make sure that I don't feel the same way

726
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: in twelve months, you know, And even if it doesn't happen,

727
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: it's knowing that I did what I could do to perform.

728
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: And I think that is such a good point. Right.

729
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 2: All it takes, I say this all the time. All

730
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: it takes is all you've got.

731
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 3: But some days you might have you might not have

732
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 3: what you had yesterday. And so having the grace with

733
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: yourself to be honest and say, but I gave it

734
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 3: what I had today. And there are so many things

735
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: that are beyond our control that also impact how we

736
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 3: show up on the regular. So having the grace with

737
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: yourself to be like, this is how it is now,

738
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: this is how it is today, and tomorrow I get

739
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: the opportunity to stand up and do it again and

740
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 3: put on my makeup and be like, damn girl, you

741
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 3: look good and I got this.

742
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 2: Now.

743
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 3: There are certainly more eyeballs on you these days than

744
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: there used to be. So there were some things that

745
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 3: came out after the Olympics that were a little difficult,

746
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: And it broke my heart to hear your mom's like

747
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: in news articles defending you against the haters. Whoever came

748
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 3: up with the word haters. I hate the word haters.

749
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: It sounds some kind of way. What is it like

750
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: for you to put the blinders on? How do you

751
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: stay in your lane and focus on the things that

752
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 3: are important to you and not let the naysayers get

753
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 3: in your way?

754
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: I think when you get to, you know, a certain

755
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: point that's just comes. Regardless of what you do, good

756
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: or bad, people are always gonna have something to say,

757
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: and it's so important just to not let that affect

758
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: you and define who you are, because the people around

759
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: you will reassure you.

760
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 4: That, no, you are a good person.

761
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: No like what they're saying isn't true, and you should

762
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: no doubt within yourself and I do. I feel like

763
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm very comfortable and I know who who I am.

764
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: So what some random guy that's a known tree for

765
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: seven six on Instagrams has to say, wow, yes, it's.

766
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 4: Not like it doesn't it's always someone.

767
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: That doesn't have a profile sig now, is it not?

768
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

769
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, if you say such and such,

770
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, you know, I know who I am.

771
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: My family and my friends like they love and appreciate me,

772
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: So I'm not really too faced about what people who

773
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: have no idea about who I really am have to say.

774
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: Totally and so on that same note, then, knowing that

775
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: you have and exemplifying such grace, right, you're like, I'm good, Like,

777
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: that exhibit I'm gonna say a word that doesn't actually exist.

778
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: It's exhibited by someone that's a role model. And you

779
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 2: are a role model.

780
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 3: You already talked about not only your followers, but then

781
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,640

784
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: you're a role model? Does that make you feel excited, anxious, nervous, privileged?

785
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: What comes with that?

786
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 4: It's definitely your privilege overall.

787
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: I think sometimes it can feel a little pressurizing because

788
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I have to be perfect all the

789
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: time and I have to always say the right things

790
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: and do the right things, and I can't make any mistakes.

791
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: But ultimately, it's such a privilege to be even considered

792
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: as someone's role model, because that's a pretty heavy title

793
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: for someone to give you. You know that they look

794
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: up to you, they aspire to be like you, and

795
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: you know you give them so much inspiration. So I

796
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: definitely see it as something positive, although sometimes it can

797
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: be dawned in and especially when I was kind of

798
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: coming up the ranks and I was a bit younger,

799
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: and I was kind of phased and scared about the

800
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: term role model. I think now I've grown into it

801
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: and I appreciate and I'm happy to be someone's role

802
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: model because I think growing up, I had my role

803
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: models and.

804
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 4: I looked up to them.

805
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: So it's always important that the younger generation, even any generation,

806
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: or anybody has someone that you know they want to

807
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: look up to entirely.

808
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 3: And mean, speaking of role models, the culture, the climate

809
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: of women's sports right now is electric. Right we see

810
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 3: so many strong women showing up and not just being

811
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 3: dominant as a woman in sport, but honestly, just being

812
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 3: dominant in sport, like this is what we are here for.

813
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 3: So how do you feel about being a dominant woman

814
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: in sport and also just about this climate that we're in,

815
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 3: about all the eyeballs watching us go after our big potential.

816
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 1: I think it's amazing, honestly, Yeah, yeah, because I think

817
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: this is definitely a time where women in sports has

818
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: being way more appreciated, and there's definitely separate platforms where

819
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: we're seeing on the almost and sometimes.

820
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 4: Above the same level as men's sports.

821
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: And I'm absolutely here for it because I definitely think

822
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,959
Speaker 1: it's about time that we're getting that recognition, we're seen

823
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: in the same light, we're being given the same opportunities.

824
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm definitely here for it.

825
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. I'm here to support it too. Well.

826
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: As we wind down here, a few more questions.

827
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 3: Firstly, like I mentioned, such a massive following on the

828
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: social such an amazing room of women right here that

829
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 3: look at you and they see a strong woman, an

830
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 3: athlete going after her big potential. But I'm curious when

831
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: you look in the mirror mirror Rashida, I was like

832
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 3: combining your name and the word mirror. What is it

833
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 3: that you see looking back at you?

834
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: Honestly, just like see myself. I don't see like everything

835
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: everybody else is, because no, I've been myself since I

836
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: was born, So I just sometimes forget that, you know,

837
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: people perceive me in the way like I'm a professional athlete,

838
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: I'm an Olympian, because when I look in the mirror,

839
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: I just see myself the same person I've been growing

840
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: up and nothing really has changed because my family's saying

841
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: my friends are the same.

842
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't really see.

843
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: Myself as above anyone are different or special, even though

844
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: like some might say so, I think it's it's just I'm.

845
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: Just the regular.

846
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 2: Okay. So you've articulated what you don't see? Oh what

847
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: do you see? Oh?

848
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 4: Okay?

849
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: And she's like, you're gonna make me say nice things

850
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 2: about myself?

851
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: Who is who else has trouble saying nice things about themselves?

852
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: Higa, it's me, yep.

853
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 4: I see.

854
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: Someone who's a go get, you know, I someone who

855
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 1: doesn't want to settle for the bare minimum, who has

856
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: great aspirations, too strong, who is kind, who's genuine, and

857
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: someone who just wants to show love to everyone and

858
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: make people smile and make people happy. And yeah, I

859
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: feel like that's kind of what I see when I

860
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: see myself, and.

861
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: I see many of those things looking at you too.

Speaker 4: Oh? Probably Bolts.

886
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,200

889
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: I have a few cool things in my life. Okay,

890
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 3: do you have a favorite place to get a taco

891
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 3: in Austin for anyone you might be visiting right now?

892
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're gonna tell me like it is.

893
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: So I don't actually get tacos, Okay, I go to

894
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: Taco Way sometimes, but I only had my first taco

895
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: last year, and I've I know, and I've been in

896
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: Austin for four years, and I went to Mexico last

897
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: year and I had my first taco in Mexico.

898
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 2: So yah, ever in your life?

899
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 4: In my life? Yeah?

900
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 2: All right? Or really learning some things in the room tonight.

901
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 3: So if anyone talks to Rashida after she gets off

902
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 3: the stage, give her talker.

903
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: Recommendations because she needs them. Yeah, she needs them.

904
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 3: And then our last question for tonight, right now, you

905
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 3: have an opportunity, knowing what you know now an Olympian,

906
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 3: to offer yourself a piece of advice. Looking back on

907
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 3: the beginning of your running journey, what do you tell

908
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 3: your younger self?

909
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 4: Ooh, I would definitely tell myself to be patient. I

910
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 4: think that.

911
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: Can sound so basic and you've probably heard it a

912
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: million times before, but when it comes to the way

913
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I wanted everything exactly when I

914
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: set my eyes on it, you know, and I just

915
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: was so impatient. And I think if I was a

916
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: little bit more patient in the way that I approach

917
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: things and in my success and allowing things to just

918
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: happen and flow, I wouldn't have felt so pressurized to

919
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: achieve things so quickly. And even now, like, being patient

920
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: is just so important because you know what is meant

921
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: free will not pass you. And I think it's so

922
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: important to remember that, especially when we feel like things

923
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: aren't going our way. And I always felt like things

924
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: aren't going my way and I was like, when is

925
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: this gonna happen for me? And I've always compared myself

926
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: to everyone like, oh, this person got already, Like why

927
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: happens I achieved this? Yet they're the same age as

928
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: I am. And I think patience is literally a virtue,

929
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: so you hear it so much I hear to someone

930
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: almost always so much to previatient people, woul always say

931
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: be patient. And I think it's very different to hear

932
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: advice and to listen to it, but to receive it

933
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: and to actually apply it to your life is very different.

934
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: And I think applying patients and actually becoming a patient

935
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: person was very important and is still important in me

936
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: being able to get to where I want to go.

937
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to tell you that I know that

938
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 3: I was listening to you tonight, and I'm sure that

939
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 3: this room was listening to you tonight. So many unbelievable

940
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:36,200
