Ever since I was little, swimming has been a part of my life. As for running, I didn\u2019t pick it up until high school, where I was able to test my skills on the course. Triathlon is a whole different beast. Combining 3 different sports, it trains not only your body but your mind as well. I use sports in my life to grow as an athlete and as an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of my favorite Madeira sports memories was during my senior year swim season at districts. Coach Brad loves to dress for the occasion, and he sure did for this meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To me, it’s not the athletes who have the motivation that succeeds, it\u2019s the athletes who have the discipline. When I go to train each day, no matter how I am feeling, I put in the best effort I can for that session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My favorite pre-race meal is probably Toast w\/Peanut butter and honey. It tastes good and provides me with slow-burn carbs for the entirety of my races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I admire athletes who enjoy their sport while also dominating their own personal improvement. If you are at the top, but don\u2019t enjoy what you do, what is the point? I love the athletes who are willing to put in the work, and enjoy the journey. Some names include: Eliud Kipchoge, Steve Prefontaine, Hayden Wilde and Alex Yee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best teammates in my opinion are the ones who can be the best supporters, but can also be your biggest competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This definitely depends. Before shorter races, definitely enjoy some upbeat music, Mac Demarco or something of the sort. But most of the time, I enjoy feeling the atmosphere of the race: The announcing of previous races, watching others compete, watching sprint finishes of the athletes before me, it all gets me fired up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I plan to attend Miami University!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find the sport that makes you enjoy going to practice every day, that is where you are meant to be. Yes, there are always going to be tough days and tough races, but getting through those days is what makes you a stronger athlete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1549,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madeiraathleticbooster.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/athlete\/1542"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madeiraathleticbooster.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/athlete"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madeiraathleticbooster.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/athlete"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madeiraathleticbooster.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/madeiraathleticbooster.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
