So I knew that , you know , jumping and catching , uh catching a lob or I don't , was real similar to catching a touchdown or head top of somebody . So I just thought it was gonna be a smooth transition . It was my junior year I didn't get any recognition at all .
But just taking every single moment that you have while leaving some time for yourself , but when you're traveling or when you have a couple of hours after practice , just grinding out some homework and getting ahead the best you can . is a great way to manage it all . Trying to get a Division One scholarship is definitely tough , and I know it can be grueling , but the one thing that I would keep in mind during the whole process is to always have fun with gymnastics and be grateful and really take in every moment because it does go by really quickly and Just enjoying your time and having passion within your sport is what's going to lead you to being your most successful self .
It's my 4th year here , and I know about balancing school . I know how hard the transition is freshman year . I know how the adjustment period to college baseball versus high school baseball is .
Um , compared to when I was in high school and playing a different position . So that was a transition in , in itself to be able to get used to understanding and how to mentally go through the game and be able to understand like , hey , this is what you need to do to prepare and be able to stay locked into the , the whole course of the game . Um Besides that fact , there's a lot of other things that you have to understand of , hey , your job is just as important as it is as a wide receiver that's catching the touchdown or anything like that because you're still putting up points on the board or you're playing defense , um , by pinning them inside the , the 20 yard line or the five yard line , whatever you can on punt because that's the way that you're gonna be able to help them out .
So again , I took another leap of faith and I'm here for my 5th year . Some advice that I would give from transitioning to indoor to beach is that you have to go full out in your decision . It is , I would say , two completely different sports .
