Que 2:-Reflecting on your journey so far, what do you consider to be your greatest achievement or moment of triumph?

Ans:-

At the start of this season, I moved up to the 9/10 age group even though I'm only 8. I was nervous because I knew I’d be competing against older kids. But at my first meet, I won a second-place medal in the long jump! It showed me that even if something seems hard at first, I can still do great things.

Current Situation:

Que 3:-How are you balancing academics and athletics at this stage of your career?

I have track practice three times a week, so I make sure to do my homework on weekends and my off days. I know that if my grades drop, I won’t be able to compete in track, so I always try to stay on top of school first.

Que 4:- Can you share some insights into your training regimen and how you stay motivated during challenging times?

Ans:-

My coaches make my workouts. Mondays are for endurance, Tuesdays are for speed, and Thursdays are for specialty work. When practice gets hard, I take a deep breath and remind myself that my friends and I are all working through it together. I know that pushing through tough workouts will make me better, so I focus on my goals and keep going.

On the track, I want to be remembered as a great long jumper. Off the track, I want people to know me for being kind and always willing to help others.
