1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Our standards are pretty much still the same in terms of,

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, be a good teammate, work hard, accept feedback,

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: and honesties are most efficient policy.

4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: What's going on everyone, Emily Abadi?

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Here?

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: You are listening to episode three hundred and three of Hurdle,

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: a wellness focused podcast where I talk to inspirational people

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: about everything from their highest ties and toughest moments to

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: essential tips on how to live a healthier, happier, more

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: motivated life. We all go through our fair share of hurdles.

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: My goal through these discussions is to empower you to

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: better navigate yours and move with intention so that you

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: get stride towards your own big potential and of course,

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: have some fun a lot the way, and honestly, fun

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: is exactly what I had with today's guest. Her name

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: is Andrea Hoodie. She is the director of Sports Performance

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: for women's basketball at the one, the only University of Connecticut. Now,

18
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: whether or not you are a fan of women's college basketball,

19
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: you certainly know about Yukon. I have a personal bias

20
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: as I am a Yukon grad. But I was so

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: so amped when my dear friend and coach, Rebecca Stow

22
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: connected me with whody to have today's conversation, and if

23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: we talk about so many things, a resounding theme of pressure.

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on with what she does and

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: the ins and outs of working with such an excellent team,

26
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: how she manages that pressure, and how she advises her

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: athletes to do the same. We talk a lot about

28
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: the fact that these girls are under such intense circumstances

29
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: and the fact that they are also only between the

30
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: ages of roughly eighteen and twenty two, right, so so

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: much responsibility on their shoulders.

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: At such a young age.

33
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: We also chat about what it's like for her to

34
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: be a role model to these women, what it looks

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: like for her to take care of herself these days

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: and implement boundaries. She opens up about how the pressure

37
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: once got to her and what it looks like for

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: her to then implement certain routines and practices into her

39
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: life to be a better person, a better coach, and

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: also prioritize herself. That was really a strong, strong takeaway

41
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: for me. Again, as a Yukon grad, I was so

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: excited to be able to have this conversation, this sit down.

43
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: It's been a really special time, not only for women

44
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: in sports, but to be a woman's sports fan, and.

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: Hoodi is one of the best of the best in

46
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: the game.

Speaker 2: Let's get to a hurdling.

57
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: Today I have the honor of sitting down with Andrea Hoodie.

58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: She's the director of sports performance for women's basketball at

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: the one, the only, the University of Connecticut.

60
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: This pumping happened behind the scenes.

61
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: Scared.

62
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: How you doing today?

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: We're great here? Yeah, how are you?

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm good? So great here.

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: It means great in stores, this is a beautiful sunny

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: day in stores like it is.

67
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be it's probably hotter in the city,

68
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: but it is beautiful. I just got back from my walk,

69
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: so life is good.

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: Life is good.

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: I will say that a lot has changed about the

72
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: University of Connecticut since I graduated from there in twenty ten.

73
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: Primarily the fact that.

74
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: Y'all have a little bit more going on around campus now,

75
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: there's more to do.

76
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: It's more of a city than it used to be.

77
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just said, y'all, I'm.

78
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: From Connecticut, so I don't really know where that teams from.

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Moody. Yeah, campus is beautiful. They've really done a lot

80
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: of work. It's unbelievable in terms of the buildings and

81
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: the landscapes. So yeah, it's great.

82
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: It's great.

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: Well, I was so excited when we were connected by

84
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: a dear friend of mine. Shout out to Rebecca Stow,

85
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: not only because I am a Yukon alum, but also

86
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: because there is so much I want to know about

87
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: the thought process, about the you know, the team development,

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: the interpersonal development that goes into creating such.

89
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: A kick ass team.

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: Excuse me for lack of a better So, my first

91
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: and foremost, let's talk a little bit about you. Let's

92
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about how you ended up in

93
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: this position, because I know you have certainly made your

94
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: way from one place to the next every Now, yeah,

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: talk to me a little bit about that.

96
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: Wow, my relationship with coach orim and staff started nineteen

97
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: eighty seven when they recruited me as an athlete, I

98
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: became aware of who they were and what they were about.

99
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: I obviously and unfortunately didn't get to play for them

100
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: because I was an injured athlete. And yeah, I think

101
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: the injury that I had and sustained when I was

102
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: fifteen years old has really driven me to try to

103
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: continue my work and try to keep people from getting

104
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: injured or injured more than what they have been. So

105
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: here I am studying my PhD. At you kind of back,

106
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, after twenty years.

107
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 3: Back after twenty years, talk to me a little bit

108
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: about that injury.

109
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: What were you dealing with?

110
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I it was a multi sport athlete in

111
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: high school. I I think we'll probably get to this story.

112
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: But I was a pretty big competitor when I was

113
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: little because I was the youngest of five in a

114
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: family that was super competitive who then had competitive friends,

115
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: and everything was a competition. But I think my mom

116
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: realized there was a problem with me being competitive when

117
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: I was like five or six or seven, when my brother,

118
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, he beat me in a bike race around

119
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: the house and locked the door. So I was so

120
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: upset that I lost that I put my hand through

121
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: the window and you know, have a scar in my

122
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: hand because because he beat me. So I think she

123
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: was like, hey, I have a problem here, right. That's

124
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: where it all started.

125
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: And so that competitive nature from an early age then

126
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: really encouraged you to become more involved with sport as

127
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: you got older. Talk to me about your entry into

128
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: sport beyond racing around the house.

129
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually it was pe football with my brother. I

130
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: was full back, he was the quarterback. And then my

131
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: brothers were wrestlers also, but back then they didn't have

132
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: sports for young females. So I was like, hey, I'm

133
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: going to do it, and my mom encouraged me to

134
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: compete and win against them, so that has stuck through

135
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: my career. So I played football and wrestled with my

136
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: brothers and their friends. And then the first sport that

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: was available to me at the time was girls junior

138
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: high basketball, and I took those behaviors and onto the court,

139
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: which wasn't good because then people would yell at me,

140
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: it's not football, you know. So then just picked up volleyball.

141
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: But I was a better basketball player than anything. I

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: think those other sports kind of translated to body positioning

143
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: and you know, advancing the ball. And then I got hurt.

144
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: I was fifteen. I was pretty good, pretty athletic, but

145
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: then you know that never came back and I hit

146
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: my athletic peak hit fourteen or fifteen years old. Yeah,

147
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: and then I played volleyball in college at the University

148
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: of Maryland. We won an ACC championship. And after I

149
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: was in school, I did an internship in corporate fitness

150
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: and I thought that's what I wanted to do because

151
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I thought I could make more money in corporate fitness.

152
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: But I hated it because not everybody likes to exercise

153
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: like I do. And I came to grad school at Yukon.

154
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: We got a master's in sport Biomechanics. And then just

155
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: being around the culture that they had here for women's basketball,

156
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty special. And it just was that, like,

157
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, my soul was satisfied being here with just

158
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: the competitive nature and the ultimate goal of winning. Yeah.

159
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: And it's so interesting to hear about how from such

160
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: a young age you were so competitive and now to

161
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: be at this powerhouse school for women's basketball kind of

162
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 3: leading that charge there. When you think about what you're

163
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: doing now. Could you even have imagined this as a

164
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: younger you.

165
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what I imagined. I knew I wanted

166
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: to be an athlete. I knew that, but then that

167
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: was taken away from me, you know, with injury at

168
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: the level that I wanted to be at, you know. So,

169
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: but then I would have those competitions with the athletes daily,

170
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's what helped me coach men and

171
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: be successful in the men's side of things too. So, Yeah,

172
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: it was just a phenomenal experience that I embraced and

173
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: just was living and breathing it.

174
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you were going through your injury, talk to

175
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: us a little bit about specifically what that was and

176
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: what that did for you mentally.

177
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think I realized how traumatic the injury was.

178
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: But the problem with it was, and this is why

179
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm studying what I am now, was everybody told me

180
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: I was okay, I could go back and play, you know.

181
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: So it was an ACL tear or I first hyper

182
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: extended my knee transitioning from volleyball in high school to basketball.

183
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: I was running down the court and I remember hyper

184
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: extending my knee and I was like, man, that hurt. Well,

185
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: two weeks later, I tear my ACL and I'm piecing

186
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: all these pieces together, and then the docs. You know,

187
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up in a very populated area. You know,

188
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: it was pretty rural, so you know, they tape you

189
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: back up and put you back in, and then you know,

190
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: the traumatic incidents would happen against It was like these

191
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: trauma on top of the trauma on top of the

192
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: physical trauma. And then it gets to a point where

193
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: I was strong enough to I think, have your system

194
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: protect itself from a bad ligament. But eventually that ligament,

195
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, is compromised or compromised more so. I've had

196
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: traumatic acls, I've had non traumatic ACL eights surgeries. Later

197
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: on my eighth one, I had my knee replaced at

198
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: forty seven.

199
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: So wow, wow, Okay, well we'll get to the new

200
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: or of lace and go.

201
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: I do want to go back and double a click

202
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: on what you were saying about kind of the vigor

203
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: that was instilled in you to be able to show

204
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: up and coach the men's teams. So before you were

205
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: doing what you are doing now you've had a lengthy

206
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: opportunity to kind of make some pivots within the coaching world.

207
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: Talk to me about your first coaching job and how

208
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: it felt from the get go.

209
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Well, I would say my first coaching job was as

210
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: a graduate assistant here at Yukon and it was I

211
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: think there were probably twenty seven sports, and it was

212
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: back in the day when you were in the weight

213
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: room and you were trying to help people get stronger.

214
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: And it's advanced from that, right, so thirty years later,

215
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: it's very different than where I started. But it was

216
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: like an athlete factory. I mean we worked from six

217
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: to six and it was like you had a group

218
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: on the hour, every hour, and it was every team.

219
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: It eventually got to I was in charge of men's

220
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: and women's basketball here where I have five national championships

221
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: from ninety five to four and women and then in

222
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine and four we won with the men and

223
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: then I have a soccer national championship under my belt too.

224
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: So I've been fortunate to be a part of it.

225
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: Been fortunate to be a part of it.

226
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: So for you, as someone who has been in this

227
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: coaching position for some time now, what does it mean

228
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: for you to be a coach.

229
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: What do you think are.

230
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 3: Necessary either characteristics or ways that you need to approach

231
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: certain things to be the best coach that you can be.

232
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: I always say that you need to be able to

233
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: teach and motivate. So that's where I think education is priceless.

234
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: But that's all built on the relationships that you develop

235
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: with people. Because again people have probably heard me say this,

236
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: but there's there's a golden rule, which is treat people

237
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: how you want to be treated. But then there's the

238
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: platinum role, which is treat others how they how they

239
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: want to be treated. So you actually need to get

240
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: to know somebody and understand what they like to learn

241
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: or how they like to learn, how they want to communicate.

242
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, you got to get to know people

243
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: if you want to be successful. I think in any

244
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: kind of teaching or coaching environment.

245
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: I would assume there's a lot of barriers there, or hurdles,

246
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: if you will, because you are dealing with so many

247
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 3: different athletes at once. So it's really important to pay

248
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: attention to who it is you're working with and what

249
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: makes them.

250
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: Tech Yeah, for sure. Again, and every sport culture is different,

251
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: so then you have the people in the sport culture

252
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: that play different positions, who learn different and then you

253
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: got the sport culture, and then you get the culture

254
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: the athletic department. You have all these cultures, and I

255
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: asked somebody what culture meant one time, and it was

256
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: just what we do here and how we operate here.

257
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: So each one of those units has their own kind

258
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: of culture. So I feel like I'm pretty good at adaptability.

259
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: But also, you know, there are standards, and there are

260
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: standards that you're like, you need to hit here or

261
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: else You're we're not going to be successful. So I

262
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: think if you know those standards, at least we can

263
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: hit the bottom part of hey, we're ready to compete.

264
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: I would assume that those standards also kind of ebb

265
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: and flow or shift over time, depending on not only

266
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: what's happening in your locker room, on your course, but

267
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: also what's happening with the climate of the game. You know,

268
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: we've seen such an outstanding rise of talent, specifically within

269
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: women's sports, over the last few years, and so the

270
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: standards that we may have had back in twenty twenty

271
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: are certainly different than they are in twenty twenty four.

272
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. I haven't thought about that. Again.

273
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: I worked with Sue Bird and Diana Torazzi, so they

274
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: graduate or Sue I think graduated in two thousand and

275
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: two and Diana was two thousand and four. Our standards

276
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: are pretty much still the same in terms of, you know,

277
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: be a good teammate, work hard, accept feedback and honesties

278
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: are most efficient policy and our goal and our standard

279
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: is to win, and it's whatever it takes to win.

280
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: And it's hard. It's a process for sure, because you've

281
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: got to commit to so many other things. You've got

282
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: to put the team before yourself every time.

283
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: How has that been for you as you have tried

284
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: to maintain some semblance of your own personal life outside

285
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: of the court.

286
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: Outside of the locker room, Like, oh, that's a funny question.

287
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: I'm suposed to have my own personal life.

288
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: What's the guy's name on ted Lasso? He's the football

289
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: is life. Athletics and health and wellness are life for me.

290
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's why again I'm working on my fourth

291
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: degree in a PhD and exercise science, and it's life

292
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: for me for sure. I do have a step daughter

293
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: and a spouse and my brothers and sisters, but yeah,

294
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: it's always family first.

295
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for you, what I'm hearing you say, though,

296
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: is that it's bigger than your you know, God given family,

297
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: your blood family. It's your family has become within the

298
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 3: workplace for you. It's a sure community for you to

299
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: have these very dynamic and unique relationships that you have

300
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: the opportunity to build and foster over the course of

301
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: not just the four years that these athletes are within

302
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: the Yukon atmosphere for lack of a better term, but

303
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: also beyond that.

304
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been called mom before, I've been called sister,

305
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: I've been caught and yeah, it's kind of cool when

306
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: that happens, for sure.

307
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

308
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: So, although the standards have not changed, as you say,

309
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 3: I'm sure there are things that are different now versus

310
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: two thousand and four. And before we're talking bird, we're

311
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: talking to reci What has changed for you in this role.

312
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: Well, I think the athlete and society has changed, for sure.

313
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: There's things that we need to consider now that we

314
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: haven't considered in the past, whether that's early specialization, social media,

315
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: how kids learn and how they communicate that's very different.

316
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I just did a presentation with my interns at a

317
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: national conference on how gen X can communicate with gen

318
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Z and sometimes it takes other people to help figure

319
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: out how to communicate what needs to be communicated. Have

320
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: you read the Coddling of America's youth? Have you seen that?

321
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: I have not.

322
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: It's fascinating because it argues that people are less emotionally mature,

323
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: but they still have to come to college when they're eighteen,

324
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, and then physically they're so early specialized that

325
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: physically I feel like they're older, but emotionally they might

326
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: be younger. So it's a little different for sure.

327
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have been super interested to be in

328
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: that room as you gave that presentation.

329
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was good.

330
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: I think it was good, but that kind of actually

331
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: that concept I think it was good is going to

332
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: actually bring us back to where I want to go.

333
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: Because as you're preparing year in and year out with

334
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 3: the women's basketball team, you're doing the best you can

335
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 3: with what you have, right, and it's not until sometimes

336
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 3: you show up to these games, you show up to

337
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: this competition, that you realize that you might need to

338
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: change the definition of what good is.

339
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about.

340
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: How you have been working as these athletes and as

341
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: the teams evolve over time.

342
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's still some standards in terms of

343
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: physical capacities that you need. You're still playing basketball, right

344
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: and there's still impact load, So are you strong enough

345
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: to handle the load when you jump? Stop? Can you

346
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: handle the load on one leg? And those are very

347
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: much They have strength standards and tissue density standards that

348
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: we have to build to get to. Now. You look

349
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: at the fitness world now and everybody's doing their own

350
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: version of whatever, but I still feel like there are

351
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: standards in terms of what we have to do to

352
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: provide that base strength that we can even compete and

353
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: survive in the sport.

354
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: You're actually shedding some light on what I wanted to

355
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: ask about the perhaps specifics within your role. So someone

356
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: hears that you're the director of sports performance for the

357
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: women's basketball team, what does that involve for you, whether

358
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: it be on a day today or just generally.

359
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the one thing that we have to

360
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: do these days is create a holistic environment where you

361
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: know you have to include nutrition. We were sleep tracking

362
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: looking at how sleep affected counter movement, jump and force production.

363
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: So it's like, not only is there just this performance

364
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: side of it and doing what you have to do

365
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: in the weight room. But there's a health side of

366
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: it too. People I always say that health is very

367
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: different than performance, and people argue with me with that,

368
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: which is fine, But I would tell you that my

369
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: health nutrition program is very different than a performance nutrition program.

370
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: So those are two different things, and I think performance

371
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: is just it's another level for sure.

372
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you can be a healthy person without

373
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: being able to perform at what a peak might be.

374
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: Is that where you're coming from.

375
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And again you're playing against some of the

376
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: athletes in the world, and you know that can weigh

377
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: up to you know, however much, or be as light

378
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: as whatever, But can you move your body and be

379
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: able to handle the forces that externally that are.

380
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: There Beyond that, I think what's super interesting is coming

381
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: back to earth and remembering that the young women you

382
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: are working with are just indeed that they are young women.

383
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: And so suddenly, as you know, coverage of women's sport

384
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: is increasing, we are seeing more and more of them

385
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: on bigger stages, which is outstanding, But a lot of

386
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: people are forgetting that we're dealing with women between ages

387
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: basically eighteen and twenty two.

388
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: Yes's it's a great point. Yeah, they're not professionals, but

389
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: I would tell you they're thrown into a professional environment

390
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: in college because that's changed too with NIL because now

391
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: these athletes are getting paid and they're professionals. They're making

392
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: more than I am. It's hard because you know, the

393
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: NCAA or the conference hasn't changed, but how the athletes

394
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: are treated has changed. So we got some work to do.

395
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: How does that impact you these changes?

396
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just still concerned about their health and performance,

397
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm trying to study more. I want

398
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: them to have a long professional career where not that

399
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: they I want them to have a long, healthy professional

400
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: career after but those opportunities maybe weren't as available as

401
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: they are now.

402
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

403
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 3: So earlier we were talking about how you got your

404
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: start within coaching, not only at Yukon, but then also

405
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to work with some different men's teams.

406
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: Chat with me about the difference between working with conventionally

407
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: male athletes versus female athletes.

408
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: The biggest difference is this physical stuff because guys have

409
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, more tissue density, hormonal recovery. But I think mentally, emotionally,

410
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: there's no difference. There's you know, you're working with a

411
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: person it's coach an athlete. It's like, what do I

412
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: have to do? I have to learn or get to

413
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: know the athlete because it's like, what's what motivates them?

414
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: What do they need to work on to stay healthy?

415
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: How can we get them stronger? And how can we

416
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: get them to perform at their best? So I like mentally, emotionally,

417
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: I think that men and women are the same physically,

418
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: Guys have some advantages for sure, HM.

419
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: And so for you as a coach, with the dynamics

420
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: of working with different teams, do you have a personal

421
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 3: preference at all.

422
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: Just anybody who wants to show up and get better

423
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: and learn about being healthier and performing better.

424
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. I absolutely love that.

425
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: So now let's pivot a little bit and talk about

426
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 3: the pressure. I mean we just mentioned and how things

427
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: are changing within that sphere, the pressure to be, you know,

428
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: professional athlete at such a young age.

429
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot of pressure in summary.

430
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: So what I want to know is not only how

431
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: do you handle it, but maybe in your capacity as

432
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 3: a coach, how you've had to have conversations about helping

433
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: the girls handle it.

434
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: I always tell them, you know, I'll do anything for them.

435
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: They know I'm here for them, And it just depends

436
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: on if you have a relationship with somebody that they're

437
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: willing to take a deeper dive with you or not.

438
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: It just it depends on what their support system is,

439
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, if they need support, I'm always here. Pressure

440
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: for me is yeah, just wanting to win and be

441
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: the best person, best coach I could be. And that's

442
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: again why I went back to school.

443
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: What do you do for yourself to be the best

444
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: coach that you can be?

445
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: You know, COVID kind of. I wasn't affected by COVID

446
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: as much as some of other people were affected, so

447
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: it actually gave me some downtime, which was nice. But

448
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: I also I got off of my schedule. I was

449
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: used to being on a schedule, you know, and then

450
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: I just learned about myself that I lost that schedule

451
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: and I haven't gotten back to it. But I'm getting

452
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: back to that schedule, so journaling, meditating, taking care of myself.

453
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: So I wake up earlier now where I have three

454
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: to four hours by myself doing what I need to do,

455
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: and then come to work.

456
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, there's some trend going on that I

457
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: was just privy to which is something called the five

458
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: to nine before the nine to five.

459
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: I'm not hip enough.

460
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: I haven't seen the videos on this trend, but someone

461
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: said it and I was like, that's actually very much

462
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: how I execute. It's like, what am I doing between

463
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 3: more so like five forty five and nine am? Then

464
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: I can better execute between the nine and the five

465
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: forty five ps.

466
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: So what's that call?

467
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 3: I think it's just a lar just talk about the concept,

468
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 3: the overarching concept of the five to nine before the

469
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: nine to five.

470
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: So what is it that.

471
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: You're doing in that time period? If you want to

472
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: be a five am person between five am and nine am,

473
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: that's building you. That's putting down the foundation as if

474
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 3: you were to then build on top of that to

475
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: be the best version of yourself, whether that is then

476
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: within business, within your relationships, or you know, whatever is

477
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: a priority for you.

478
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I've been doing that, Like I wake up.

479
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: My dog wakes me up at four thirty, and then

480
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: I've been getting up with him and then just started

481
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: my day for me because everybody in the house is

482
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: the dog goes back to bed and everybody in the

483
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: house is quiet. So I turned my sona on I journal,

484
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: try to meditate, I stretch to my little workout and yeah,

485
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: I get I set my intentions for the day and

486
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: actually it's been working. I just need to stick with it.

487
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: And in your definition of working, I'd actually love to know, like,

488
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 3: what is a determining factor of success for you?

489
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: I think the relationships and the effect that I can

490
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: have on others and others have on me. Yeah. I

491
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: think relationships and how you can lead and follow with

492
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: others in your team. I do have a list of

493
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: the culture. You know, are we elevating the culture that

494
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: we're in because you have you know, sometimes have people

495
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: that bring the culture down. I want to make sure

496
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: you elevate the culture and get better. We have to

497
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: make the culture better. Are we creating a competitive environment

498
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: in everything that we do? And is competition important because

499
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: that's a hard switch to turn on and off if

500
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: you don't know how or dimmer right, But everything we

501
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: do we try to make it competitive. Are we creating results?

502
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: Can we document those results and follow that with the data?

503
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: But I think the foundation of it all is the

504
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: relationships and connections you make.

505
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 3: Do you find that there can be a pot positive

506
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 3: correlation between fun and competitiveness or do you think that

507
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: at times as things get more competitive, it's hard to

508
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 3: find the fun.

509
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's hard to conceptualize competitiveness within amongst

510
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: the team. You know, so you're competing gainst your teammates

511
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: in practice, but then you're supposed to foster the relationship.

512
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: But it's easier to compete against people you don't know,

513
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: in my opinion, because you know you don't know them.

514
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: So I think that's a pretty cool dynamic that we're

515
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: being competitive. Are we having fun? Are we getting better?

516
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: I think getting better is fun in any help.

517
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that getting better and being able to

518
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: see that in some sort of an exemplary way, whether

519
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: that is with games one or if we're talking about

520
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: you know, skill set development and we're talking about building

521
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: strength and we're talking about different numbers in the gym.

522
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: It's always encouraging when you get to see that the

523
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: work you're putting in is doing something for you, that

524
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: you're getting something with that time invested.

525
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: Well, fun is seeing somebody do something they never thought

526
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: they could.

527
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: It's celebrating that, yeah, for sure.

528
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: So fair to say that you've been having a lot

529
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: of fun the last few years.

530
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: Uh, the last few years have been tough because again,

531
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: these athletes are early specialized. And what I've been getting

532
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: into with our data is the injury behind the injury.

533
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: You know, the story of the kinetic chain of linking injuries,

534
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: old injuries and asymmetries and gate changes and compensations to

535
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: what leads to a traumatic injury or one that would

536
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: have somebody be out for a long time. That has

537
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: not been fun. It's been super challenging.

538
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, well, let's for someone that might not have

539
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: a lot of understanding on what you're alluding to the

540
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: injury before the injury, how there are going to be

541
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: issues with the kinetic chain that then maybe disrupt proper

542
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 3: muscle function or perhaps proper movement patterns. For someone that

543
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 3: may not understand, why don't we give them like a

544
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: light briefer on how small things can turn into big things.

545
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: For sure, an ankle sprang, you know that you want

546
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: to push through, and you're pushing through it for two weeks,

547
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: and then you just pick up bad habits and then

548
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: you're overcompensating on the other leg, and then they exposes

549
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: the other leg to more forces. We measure asymmetries in

550
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: the weight room, and then we have a new technology

551
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 1: that we have IMU sensors, so accelerometers and the soles

552
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: of their shoes, and those asymmetries are very different than

553
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: what we find in the weight room, and then they

554
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: change throughout the game based on fatigue or intensity. So

555
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: it's like I'm chasing a moving target. But I think hopefully,

556
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know what to do with the

557
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: data right now, but hopefully we're going to find some

558
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: answers in the future. The more data we collect, maybe

559
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: the more trends we see.

560
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it goes without saying Becker's out from

561
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 3: August twenty twenty two onward with that torn acl and

562
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: injuries like that aren't necessarily like that. There can be

563
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: a fluke injury, right, it can be something happens sporadically

564
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: during a pickup game. But then there's the other stuff

565
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: that you're talking about that may be a little bit

566
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: more preventative in the long haul if you're paying close

567
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: attention to what's going on with the body.

568
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: Well, again, and there's so many factors, right, it's so

569
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: multi factorial that you're chasing a lot of things and

570
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, I can speculate on the

571
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: data that I have on certain things, but it is

572
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: a dynamic, multi factoral environment for sure. So it's like

573
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: sleep and nutrition or foundational pillars of health and performance,

574
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: and you know, we can't keep track of what they

575
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: do twenty four hours a day.

576
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you mentioned that you're tracking the team's

577
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: sleep or you privy to say what you're tracking it with.

578
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: Last year we used or rings and it has time

579
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: series data that we matched up with the time series

580
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: data from the force plates. So we were looking at

581
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: how much antier poster movement in a vertical jump compared

582
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,239
Speaker 1: to good quality sleep and we found that, again, it

583
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: was in a four. So we had the whole team

584
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: set up, but not everybody took it seriously, which is

585
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: fine because again we're in college and they're their own people.

586
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: But the people who did embrace it, we actually saw

587
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: some pretty cool things with those four people. So we're

588
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: not going to publish anything, but we just saw that

589
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: there was more movement the less you slept.

590
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and that doesn't surprise me, right.

591
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: We see more and more studies, news media coverage about

592
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: how literally everything you do every single day hinges on

593
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: the prioritization of sleep over time. I was listening to

594
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: Gabby Thomas, who's a track athlete, talk the other day

595
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: at this summit put on by Strava in Los Angeles,

596
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: and she was saying that not only is the eight

597
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: to ten hours of sleep that she gets every single night,

598
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: making her one of the most decorated track and Field

599
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: Olympians of her time right now, critical, but beyond that,

600
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 3: what's important is the timing of when she gets to bed,

601
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: and those things, the eight to ten and the timing

602
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: are non negotiable, right These are things that she literally

603
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 3: plans her entire schedule around, and that's what you do

604
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 3: when you want to be the best of the best. Again,

605
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,239
Speaker 3: going back to the fact that you had an end

606
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: of four that we're talking about young women in college

607
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: things are going to be a little bit different. But

608
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: do you ever struggle with wanting someone or wanting something

609
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: for someone who may not want it themselves.

610
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think, yeah, well they say they want something,

611
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: but then they you know, they don't want to do

612
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: the behaviors do that. I think we eventually get there,

613
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, even from my personal experience, there's things that

614
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: I said that I wanted, but was I willing to

615
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: do the work for them? But everything that I've ever done,

616
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: I feel like substantially that, I feel like, yeah, I

617
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: wanted that. So yeah, I think that's where goal setting

618
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: is really important and really being honest with yourself.

619
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's two things to double click on here.

620
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 3: The first is, I think a lot of people listening

621
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: to this right now can really relate to this conversation

622
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: of wanting something for somebody else and feeling as though

623
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: that they can see what's best for that person, but

624
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,959
Speaker 3: that person just doesn't see in the same lane. How

625
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 3: do you advise or maybe recommend or facilitate that conversation

626
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: in letting go, in letting someone define and specify what

627
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 3: it is that it's important to them because they are

628
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 3: themselves the individual.

629
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't want it more than somebody else. But

630
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: we have a special group of women here. They're very

631
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: determined to be the best that they can be. So

632
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: if somebody's determined to do that, you tend to be

633
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: a little bit more coachable. Like even when I get

634
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: stuck and I get a coach or whatever for somebody

635
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: for help, it's like you got to listen to it right,

636
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: it's not that hard. It's not hard, but it's hard

637
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: to hear.

638
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: Maybe taking a break from today's episode to give some

639
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: love to my sponsor at Elements. Element helps anyone stay

640
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,960

642

643
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 3: that optimal health outcomes occur at sodium levels two to

644
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: three times government recommendations. I am a huge fan of

645

646
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 3: whether you're an orange person, more into sisrus, or want

647
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: to get creative with their chocolate flavor. Not a day

648
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: goes by where Element isn't a part of my routine.

649
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 3: It's something I look forward to, not only after a

650
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: hard workout effort, but most afternoons too.

00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 2: Let's get back to it.

664
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 3: In the execution of working with these people that are

665
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 3: very determined, you said that goal setting can be very critical.

666
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about how.

667
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 3: You would recommend goal setting to one of your athletes

668
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: and are you thinking short term?

669
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: Are you thinking long term? Where are we at with that?

670
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think we have to think long term because

671
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, if for whatever reason, let's say, if you're

672
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: not where you want to be, Okay, how long have

673
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: you gotten to the place where you don't want to be?

674
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: You know it's usually around twenty years old or whatever.

675
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: Twenty years? Well, what do we have to do to

676
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: change the behavior to get to where you want to

677
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: be in two years? So it's I mean, there are

678
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: short term goal changes that you can make, but it

679
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: needs to be consistent and chronic in behavior for sure,

680
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes that's hard. I mean, it's hard for me

681
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: as a fifty one year old to do to make changes.

682
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: So here we're asking eighteen to twenty two year olds

683
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: to make those changes and have faith in that. Yeah,

684
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: it depends on the communication and the relationship if you have.

685
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 2: Of course.

686
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: And so for someone who's listening to this right now

687
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 3: that may think like, okay, like I have a destination goal.

688
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: Maybe their destination goal is I want to run a

689
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: five k in under twenty two minutes in on October second.

690
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: These are very random and arbitrary numbers for that person.

691
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 3: If someone comes to you with a goal like that,

692
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: where would you begin with them?

693
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: I would ask them have they ever run a five

694
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: k before? And if you have, what was your time? Okay,

695
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: what were you doing in the training plan before? How

696
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: are your nutrition habits? How are you sleep? How important

697
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: is it to you? You know, based on the timeframe

698
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: that we have and we'll get there. It just might

699
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: not be in your time frame if that's what you

700
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: really want, but you really got to want it, like

701
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: some again, some people say they want something but they

702
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: don't really want it.

703
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: And I think that comes to like that intrinsic motivation.

704
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: I always say to myself, like where there's a strong why,

705
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 3: there is a way, so in our ticketulating that why,

706
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,479
Speaker 3: that's your opportunity to really write down why this thing

707
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: is important to you, because there are going to be moments,

708
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 3: especially with the craziness that is social media, where something

709
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 3: comes into your mind and you have this thought like, oh,

710
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 3: I want to go after this thing, or oh this

711
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 3: looks really cool. But realistically, if you can't really articulate

712
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: why it is that that thing is really cool aside

713
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: from the aesthetics, then probably that thing actually isn't for you.

714
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: It's not going to serve you in the long haul.

715
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 2: So knowing what it is that.

716
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: Excites you and why it excites you is going to

717
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: be the thing that keeps you showing up to train

718
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 3: for that October second, five KU twenty one minutes.

719
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have friends' daughters right now and sons and

720
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: they're struggling right And they're struggling. They have depression, they

721
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: have anxiety, And I was like, you know, you go

722
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: on social media and you get this influx of all

723
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: these activities. Some of them are sad, some of them

724
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: are happy, some are so accelerating. Some of the book

725
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, you're watching other people do this

726
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: stuff and you're sitting there watching it and you're getting

727
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: all these emotions and it's overwhelming, one hundred percent overwhelming

728
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: with people who don't know what they want. So then

729
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: it's like all this stuff comes flushing in, there's no

730
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: filter to it, and they don't know really who they

731
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: are yet, and it's just a lot.

732
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 3: You're bringing up a really important point about mental health

733
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: as someone who works with young women in a climate

734
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 3: today where we are more vocal about how we're feeling,

735
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 3: hopefully maybe talking a little bit about things that otherwise

736
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 3: we would have dismissed before.

737
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: What do the conversations look like on your end?

738
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 3: Are you seeing that these young women are being a

739
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 3: little bit more upfront about how things like the pressure

740
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: makes them feel.

741
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: Now? I feel like here, they kind of sign up

742
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: for it, you know, there's pressure, want it, they love it,

743
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: they thrive on it basketball wise, right, Yeah, But then

744
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: you have social media and that's just another pressure. So

745
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: you're dealing with professional athletes that may not have the

746
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: resources and the support of a marketing company or you know,

747
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: they're doing it all themselves, which I couldn't imagine doing that.

748
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 3: No, I could not imagine doing it either. Earlier in

749
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 3: our conversation, you talked about some of these young women

750
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 3: referring to you as mom, sister, aunt, or aunts depending

751
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 3: on where you come from. Clearly you are a role

752
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 3: model to so many of these individuals.

753
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: How does that make you feel?

754
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't know the extent of which I think

755
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: education is important and being an educator is important because

756
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: you never know how far your reach goes, Like is

757
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: my reach going to be in their lives fifty years

758
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: from now? Is my reach going to be in their

759
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: lives five minutes from now? So you don't No, I

760
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: don't think you have those conversations with people. You just

761
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, they grow and you try to let them

762
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: sprout and then maybe they'll come back and talk to

763
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: you about it. But sometimes that doesn't always happen.

764
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 3: In the moment you're fleeting the question, which is, how

765
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: does it make you feel.

766
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: Embarrassed? Yeah, I don't know. I'd like, I don't know

767
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: if I've ever asked anybody if I was their role

768
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: model or you know, again, there are people that like you,

769
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: there are people that don't like you. I just got

770
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: to be me and know that I'm trying to help educate.

771
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is a special opportunity.

772
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 3: Whether we're talking about a team with the Dynamics and

773
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 3: that clout like Yukon, or we're talking about any other

774
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: opportunity where you get to be someone that somebody else

775
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 3: looks up to. There is a certain amount of introg pressure,

776
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 3: I think in that where you want to put your

777
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: best self forward at the end of the day. Your

778
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 3: point about simply doing the best you can with what

779
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 3: you have and being authentically yourself really is all that

780
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 3: you can do in those situations. Not to be so

781
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 3: hard on yourself.

782
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: Right, That's what anybody wants. Ask Rebecca Stoll, ask her

783
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: if i'm.

784
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: Her role moll, Oh wow, I'm sure she'll text me

785
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 3: to let me know as soon as she listened to

786
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 3: this episode. I'm sure we haven't talked a lot about

787
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 3: you outside of your morning routine, the five to nine,

788
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: before the nine to five. What else does taking care

789
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 3: of yourself look like these days outside of those early

790
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 3: morning hours.

791
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: Well, I alloted those times because I feel like I

792
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: have been putting a lot of other people first in

793
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: my life, which that's not a good thing all the time.

794
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: So I needed time for me and I Actually it

795
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: was so overwhelming with the pressure this year and things

796
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: like I did pass out at one point and I've

797
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: never done that, but I had the school pressure, you know,

798
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: pressure for winning, pressure that these athletes stay healthy, you know,

799
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: And it was like I was running around like a

800
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: chicken with my head cut off, and it's like, okay,

801
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: really do you have that big of an impact in

802
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: everybody's life. So I was like, hey, I gotta focus

803
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: on me for a little bit. And I have taken

804
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: time after the season, which has been great. The dissertation

805
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: is a little bit overwhelming. So that's where I started

806
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: this routine because I'm like, I just need to bang

807
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: out a half hour an hour a day with it

808
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: and just make sure I'm taking one step at a

809
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: time because I am looking at the top of the

810
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,479
Speaker 1: dverst and I'm standing at the bottom. So yeah, it's

811
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: just I if I can focus on me, I know

812
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: I can focus on others better.

813
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 3: I love that you mentioned a handful of things in

814
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 3: this morning routine that we're referencing here, and I think

815
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,959
Speaker 3: for some that in itself can be a.

816
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: Little bit of the problem.

817
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: Right It's I think I should do something for myself,

818
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: so if I'm going to do this one thing for myself,

819
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 3: then I should also do these four other things for myself.

820
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 3: It's the journaling, it's the sonne, it's the meditation, it's

821
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 3: the breath work, it's the setting and the intentions for

822
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: the day. For you, did you jump in headfirst into

823
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: all of that or was there some sort of an

824
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 3: onboarding process to get to integrating all of this into

825
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 3: that morning routine.

826
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I've been thinking about it since September,

827
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: and I hired my own coach to help me just

828
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: because I felt like I was going in so many

829
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: different directions. So yeah, I invested in myself and it's

830
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: been going on since September and there's been journaling and

831
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: life coaching and integration. So it just didn't happen overnight,

832
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: by any needs.

833
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 3: And I think that's important for people to hear, right,

834
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: because you feel as though or it's understandable that individuals

835
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 3: might feel as though they're supposed to all have it

836
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 3: figured out when you know that you do have a

837
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 3: strong why with regard to having some sort of a routine,

838
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 3: whether it's in the morning or it's not. But it

839
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 3: feels a little defeating that there are so many options

840
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 3: that you don't even know where to begin. So to

841
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: hear that you spoke about and then in turn hired

842
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 3: your own life coach. I think it's an important thing

843
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 3: to reiterate here that even coaches need coaches, right. I'm

844
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: a certified land coach. I'm a certified professional coach. But

845
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 3: after this recording, you know what I'm doing at two thirty,

846
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 3: I'm getting on a call with my life coach because

847
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 3: this is how we show up then in turn to

848
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 3: do the things that we have excitement around that we

849
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 3: want to show up and put our best selves forward.

850
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, again, I think you know, the best thing

851
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: you can do is invest in yourself.

852
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. So for you passing out, where were you?

853
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 3: What happened? I need the info.

854
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was at home. I was on the front

855
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: on the phone with a buddy of mine and just

856
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: there was a lot of pressure again with everything in

857
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: my life, school, work, personal. But I passed out and

858
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: scared my partner and it was a wake up call

859
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: for me because all I remember is waking up and

860
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: I was like, what happened? And that I feel like

861
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: scaring somebody else like that. I think really put things

862
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: into perspective that I needed help.

863
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting, right, because if that was to happen

864
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 3: and nobody was around and you were okay after it,

865
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 3: Like we asked ourselves, like what I have made any

866
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 3: of the changes that I know that I need to make.

867
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 3: But if you don't prioritize yourself, and that's really what's

868
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 3: becoming an emerging theme in our conversation, then you can't

869
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 3: show up to meet the moment as you'd want, right.

870
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 3: We want to do things to the best of our ability,

871
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 3: or at least give all it is that you have

872
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 3: in that moment, with the understanding that some days that's

873
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 3: going to look different, and that's okay.

874
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, best thing I did was hire a coach.

875
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah I love that. Sure, I love that.

876
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 3: So now in this position again, you've had this opportunity

877
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 3: to mentor and coach so many different athletes.

878
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: When you reflect on perhaps the best piece.

879
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 3: Of advice that you've been offered in order to execute

880
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,720
Speaker 3: on the day to day, what comes to mind.

881
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: My mom comes to mind. Yeah, I my mom passed

882
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: away in two thousand and eight, but she sticks with

883
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: me every day, every minute of my life. And because

884
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: she did, she she she was so competitive and she

885
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: just she was. She built that in me, but she

886
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: had she coached also, And my sister sent me a

887
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: letter that she found. It was from one of her

888
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: high school athletes, and she gave them a quote from

889
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt, and it's far better is it to dare

890
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even checkered by failure

891
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy

892
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: much nor suffer much because they live in the gray

893
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Like the fact

894
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: that my mom wrote that to somebody, was that I

895
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: got that yesterday, was like, holy cow, that's who she was. Yeah,

896
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: put it out there, you know, take risks, be edgy,

897
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: put it out there, and be yourself.

898
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 3: Something that really stuck with me recently that I'll share

899
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: with you is this sentiment that if you have to

900
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 3: tell them to carry the bricks, then they're not the

901
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 3: people you want to build with. And I've been revisiting

902
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 3: that myself a lot.

903
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes.

904
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 3: You know, these these phrases, these quotes, this small moment

905
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 3: comes into your life at just the right time where

906
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 3: you realize how fortunate you are. To find and garner

907
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 3: that inspiration then in there. So it sounds as though

908
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 3: this special sentiment from your mom really stuck with you.

909
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another one. I have it over here. It's

910
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: called time, the only solution to get better and the

911
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: biggest obstacle to overcome.

912
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 2: Time. So special.

913
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 3: I'm so happy that we were able to find the time,

914
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 3: speaking of to do this.

915
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 2: Before I let you go, a couple final questions here.

916
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 3: First and foremost, someone walks by your office door and

917
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 3: they see your name on the door, Director of Sports

918
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 3: Performance for women's basketball. But when you look in the mirror,

919
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 3: what is it that you see looking back at you?

920
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: Andrea, Probably somebody that just fights. You know that every

921
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: day's a fight, every day's a battle. We have our

922
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: own battles, you have other people's battles, but that you know.

923
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: I have a picture too at home, and it's the

924
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: Little Engine that Could. I remember that story. My neighbor

925
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: used to read it to me all the time, and

926
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: it stuck with me. And it's just I think, I can,

927
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: I think I can. You just put one foot in

928
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: front of the other and you just keep going. And

929
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there is time to look back and reflect.

930
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: But you can't dwell on those things in the past

931
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,760
Speaker 1: that were failures or whatever.

932
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 3: Right, you can only use that experience to then inform

933
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 3: as you move forward.

934
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, I have another quote here that you're full

935
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: of them. I never lose. I either win or learn.

936
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 2: I either win or learn. Another good one, another good one.

937
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: Okay, So when you look in the mirror, you're seeing

938
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 3: someone who's got grit, Oh, I think, yeah, yeah, well,

939
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 3: station on that.

940
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: Well, I mean grit, perseverance, resilience, robustness, all those things. Yeah,

941
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: I would love to identify with.

942
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 2: I love that. What else is exciting you right now? Andrea?

943
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: I have all this data. I've collected three years of data,

944
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: two solid years of data with our athletes, and there's

945
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: a lot of things that we've collected and it's hard

946
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: to just read numbers, right. So I took a Tableau class.

947
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with Tableau and speed of visualization software?

948
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to take a deeper dive into that

949
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: and try to overlay some of the data to see

950
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: if I can find any insight. Because it's like there's

951
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: so much and there's so much going on, and everybody

952
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: reacts to stress differently, whether it's emotional stress, physical stress,

953
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: Like we're not robots, and just to try to get

954
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: to know the people better in terms of how they

955
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: respond to stress and when that stress is happening. So

956
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: just to overlay that data and visualize it a little

957
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: bit differently than what I have been because it's been

958
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: in a linear way. Well, can we just throw a

959
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: wrench in it and look at it differently?

960
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 3: A little differently? A favorite Yukon dairy Bar ice cream

961
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 3: flavor Husky tracks ah a signature. I'm a banana chocolate

962
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 3: chip girly through and through.

963
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: I might have to go get some time.

964
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 3: A little jealous that you have that opportunity right now,

965
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 3: let me tell you the one thing that New York

966
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 3: City cannot offer me is Yukon darry Bar ice cream.

967
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 3: Final question for you today, Andrea, Right now, you have

968
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 3: an opportunity to give yourself a piece of advice. Let's

969
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 3: go back to that injury moment, which really you said

970
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 3: defined a lot of the way that you kind of

971
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 3: moved and shook as you went forward.

972
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 2: Knowing what you know, now, what would you tell your

973
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 2: teenage self.

974
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: Take time to heal? But I didn't know any better,

975
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 1: So lighten up and take time to heal, take time,

976
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: slow down if you have the time, right you don't

977
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: know how much time you have, so just slow down

978
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: and be present, you know, stop all the craziness in

979
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: my brain and just take one thing at a time

980
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: and be where my feet are.

981
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,880
