This moment. The result of teamwork, support, hard work, resilience, discipline and trust. We possessed talent, skill, and the right mindset. We checked our egos at the door, with our focus on team goals rather than individual accolades.🥇

My parents were my earliest fans & greatest inspirations. Moments after we won the gold, I searched the crowd for my father. I wanted him to know that this win, this moment, was the culmination of all the sacrifices, support, & love of my parents & my family. We can’t win alone.

Things don’t always go according to plan. But don’t allow yourself to get sucked down the rabbit hole of self pity - it’s a dead end. Instead of playing the victim, embrace whatever challenge stands in your way. When there’s no way around it - work through it.

“…I think we got stronger because of those penalties, as strange as it may seem, it was the catalyst we needed.” Whatever “penalty” you face, know you have everything you need to succeed. Let go of the “shoulda woulda coulda”, and accept, embrace, focus, on the here and now.

This mindset transcends sports. In sports, in life, you choose how to play the game. You choose which game to play. You choose where to focus your energy. You choose to develop your skills. To lay your foundation. To build your network. To be prepared. To be adaptable. To endure.

Stop doubting yourself. When you feel intimidated or fearful, change the narrative. It’s a sign you’re taking a chance - you’re on to something important, something potentially great. Move past your fear. Use that energy to motivate you, to fuel you, to guide you towards success.
