I'm The Same Kind Of

Before The (olympic) Trials I Was Doing A Lot Of Relaxing Exercises And Visualization. And I Think That That Helped Me To Get A Feel Of What It Was Gonna Be Like When I Got There. I Knew That I Had Done Everything That I Could To Get Ready For That Meet, Both Physically And Mentally

Why Is It Such A Big Deal What I'm Swimming?

People Say To Me, 'you're So Lucky. You Get To See The World.' But I Don't. I Go To The Hotel And To The Pools And Back Again. That's It.

At A Very Young Age, I Wrote Down The Goals That I Had So I Could Always See What I Wanted To Accomplish. And I Would Look At That Goal Sheet And Think "i Still Want To Do This."so I'd Decide "i'm Not Quitting."

Not Having To Travel And Being Able To Settle In Has Helped Me In Training Life And School Life. I've Learned To Get A Grip And Take Care Of Myself.
