What’s one quote or saying that keeps you motivated?
One quote that really keeps me motivated is, “How do you expect to move forward if you wake up thinking about yesterday?”
If you could give one crucial piece of advice to someone just starting in throwing, what would it be?
One crucial piece of advice is to never dwell on bad throws or meets. Obsessing over mistakes can negatively impact future performances. You need to develop a short-term memory when it comes to throwing—learn from the past, but don’t let it define your next attempt.
How do you stay locked in and consistent during long competitions with multiple throws?
I stay locked in during long meets by relying on music. If I have a break between prelims and finals, I make sure to stay stretched and warm while also reviewing film of my earlier throws to identify areas for improvement.
