What is some advice you would give to an aspiring D1 athlete?
My advice right now would be: consistency is key, and how you carry yourself is very important. You have no clue how many people look up to you as someone they want to become one day, so you have to do the right things and have a great work ethic. I’d also say work hard and take care of your body. Keep a good mind and be open to everyone—because you’re never too cool for anything. With all that being said, trust in the Lord and be a servant of God.
