Speaker 1: If you had to toast to one thing from twenty
0:04
Speaker 1: twenty three, what is it success?
0:07
Speaker 2: Even after failure?
0:09
Speaker 1: Success even after failure. I feel like after failure is
0:13
Speaker 1: like the biggest opportunity for success because more often than not,
0:17
Speaker 1: of course failure in quotes because we know that it
0:19
Speaker 1: teaches us something. But also it's like you're seemingly feeling
0:24
Speaker 1: like you're at the bottom, right, So really there's only
0:26
Speaker 1: going up from there. Tures to that, ture to that.
0:30
Speaker 1: Welcome to Hurdle. Hello, Hello, Emily, a body here. You

4:07
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. You've taught me at a good time.
4:10
Speaker 2: I'm settling down and I got my wine preseason.
4:17
Speaker 1: Pre season. That's the best and the best. I've been
4:20
Speaker 1: looking forward to this conversation all week because you're just
4:24
Speaker 1: such a ray of light and your episode was one
4:27
Speaker 1: of the most listened to episodes of Hurdle from twenty
4:30
Speaker 1: twenty three.
4:31
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm not that interesting.
4:34
Speaker 1: I completely disagree. This series that we're recording for is
4:41
Speaker 1: really like a moment for us to recap, take a break,
4:45
Speaker 1: do some reflection, So general feelings on the past three
4:49
Speaker 1: sixty five. Talk to me about where you're at.
4:51
Speaker 2: I think last year was was good for me and
4:53
Speaker 2: like journey wise, because I kind of had like a
4:57
Speaker 2: lull and wasn't I wasn't competing bad meaning great was I.
5:01
Speaker 2: And we kind of chatted and I was telling you
5:04
Speaker 2: about like how I was feeling going into worlds and
5:05
Speaker 2: stuff and wanting to win, and you know I did,
5:08
Speaker 2: and I think I I'm still I'm still trying to
5:14
Speaker 2: like like let all the feelings, you know, take over,
5:17
Speaker 2: because it's so hard. I always talk about it like
5:21
Speaker 2: in sport, you kind of have to be a goldfish
5:23
Speaker 2: and that goes with it good or the bad. You know,
5:25
Speaker 2: that's like one of my things. So your gold fit.
5:27
Speaker 2: If something bad happens, you gotta just forget it. When
5:30
Speaker 2: something good happens, you kind of do too, because you
5:32
Speaker 2: got to move on. Like I'm like, ooh I won World,
5:34
Speaker 2: but I have the Diamon League final. Oh I got
5:36
Speaker 2: the national record. Oh but I got I got approach
5:38
Speaker 2: for the Olympics. Now, you know, like it can be
5:41
Speaker 2: kind of depressing sometimes, but I feel like now in
5:45
Speaker 2: this off season, I've had a lot more time to
5:49
Speaker 2: feel those feelings I needed to feel. But yeah, it
5:51
Speaker 2: was a good year overall.
5:53
Speaker 1: I love the idea of the goldfish mentality. I've never
5:56
Speaker 1: heard any athlete talk about that before. That's something that
6:00
Speaker 1: you kind of concepted and came up with on your
6:03
Speaker 1: own time, or something that came from a conversation with
6:05
Speaker 1: somebody else.
6:06
Speaker 2: I think it was with my old coach Ryan, because
6:10
Speaker 2: he was like an ethic too, and I don't know
6:11
Speaker 2: where he heard it from, but I think it's just
6:13
Speaker 2: something that's kind of gone down and you know, like
6:16
Speaker 2: gone down in the in the ranks because he was
6:18
Speaker 2: like a pro as well, and it's just like that
6:20
Speaker 2: knowledge that you spread. But yeah, I think he was
6:23
Speaker 2: the one who who told me that, and I kind
6:25
Speaker 2: of was like, oh yeah, and I remember I had
6:28
Speaker 2: like a bad meat and he was like, you know,
6:30
Speaker 2: you gotta it's like you gotta be like a go
6:32
Speaker 2: old chick. You gotta forget it. And I was like okay,
6:33
Speaker 2: and then I had a good meet and I was
6:34
Speaker 2: like whoa wooh woo, you know, and I like was like, oh,
6:37
Speaker 2: but I had this good meet and he's like, you
6:39
Speaker 2: also have to forget that because now you get to
6:40
Speaker 2: go into the next thing fresh and new, and you
6:43
Speaker 2: can't have any anything really clouding that.
6:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you say you're kind of experiencing the feels,
6:51
Speaker 1: now articulate that a little bit more. What kind of
6:54
Speaker 1: feels are we experiencing?
6:56
Speaker 2: It was it's it's more so for twenty twenty two
6:59
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty three, and I finally got because of
7:03
Speaker 2: you know, the virus who shall not be named. Obviously
7:06
Speaker 2: we have a lot of we've had a lot of
7:09
Speaker 2: meats in a row for track and field. It was
7:11
Speaker 2: because the Olympics got pushed back and World's got pushed back.
7:14
Speaker 2: It was like World's worlds Now, it's World Indoors Olympics.
7:17
Speaker 2: So it's like three years of straight majors, which never happens.
7:21
Speaker 2: It's not what we're used to. It's usually one year
7:23
Speaker 2: on one you're off of majors, and so like after
7:27
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, you like, I didn't get that loll
7:29
Speaker 2: period of like you're world champion, you just go into
7:31
Speaker 2: the next year and then it's immediately defend your title.
7:34
Speaker 2: I didn't get what everyone else has where you have
7:36
Speaker 2: that year where you're a world champion no matter what.
7:38
Speaker 2: All year, I had to go straight into you got
7:40
Speaker 2: to defend the title now like months later and you're like,
7:43
Speaker 2: oh gosh, Like that's stressful. And so I think now
7:47
Speaker 2: that I've got like I've gotten this moment, it's kind
7:50
Speaker 2: of like, oh, I get to be like, wow, I'm
7:53
Speaker 2: a two time world champion, I'm a two time Diamon
7:55
Speaker 2: League champion, Like I'm a national record ho, Like I
7:57
Speaker 2: get a hold that in a bit more. I think
8:00
Speaker 2: it's resulted in, like my training's a lot better. I
8:02
Speaker 2: think it's been a smoother transition into my my preseason
8:07
Speaker 2: for the Olympics now because I've gotten to have my
8:10
Speaker 2: moment and now I'm like okay, and now I can
8:12
Speaker 2: just ease back in the training.
8:15
Speaker 1: When you say it was stressful, do you think that
8:18
Speaker 1: stress was the culmination mostly of internal pressure or external pressure.
8:24
Speaker 2: On nder internal I was talking about this was I
8:27
Speaker 2: went to Malta to do just like talk to some
8:31
Speaker 2: kids and do kind of like a thing there with
8:33
Speaker 2: my coach, and I was talking to them and a
8:35
Speaker 2: lot of them asked me like, oh, like how do
8:36
Speaker 2: you deal with it? And I was like, it's something
8:38
Speaker 2: like it's different for everybody, but I was like, I
8:40
Speaker 2: find that I've surrounded myself with the perfect people. My
8:44
Speaker 2: coach doesn't put pressure on me, my family's really nice
8:47
Speaker 2: about it, like my my husband will future husband is
8:51
Speaker 2: really great, and so most of my stress and pressure
8:56
Speaker 2: comes from with it. And I think that's true for
8:58
Speaker 2: most athletes because I I remember going into world like
9:02
Speaker 2: all year. It wasn't even until I got to Worlds
9:05
Speaker 2: when I finally kind of eased out of that. But
9:07
Speaker 2: all year it's like you're the world champion. You have
9:09
Speaker 2: to win, says who you know? Says me in my brain,
9:12
Speaker 2: Like nobody said that anywhere, just me, Like to me,
9:16
Speaker 2: I was like, you have to win. And then when
9:17
Speaker 2: I didn't win just the one time, it was kind
9:20
Speaker 2: of like dominos.
9:22
Speaker 1: For a few months, like you just said just that
9:25
Speaker 1: one time. It's like one performance depending on when it
9:30
Speaker 1: happens in the course of your year or your career,
9:33
Speaker 1: could do so much to or for you, depending on
9:37
Speaker 1: how you look at it.
9:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. That's kind of like what happened
9:42
Speaker 2: to me, Like I had an injury indoors, and then
9:45
Speaker 2: when I lost that first indoor meet and had a
9:47
Speaker 2: bad result, Immediately it was negative, right because you just, oh,
9:52
Speaker 2: you just lost to a bunch of people, Like you
9:54
Speaker 2: just threw really bad, like your distance was two meters
9:56
Speaker 2: less than what you've ever thrown. So immediately the negative
10:01
Speaker 2: comes in. You don't think, oh, well I'm injured, Oh
10:04
Speaker 2: well I don't have to win every time. Oh the
10:06
Speaker 2: rule of thirds, none of it, Like all of that
10:08
Speaker 2: goes out the window because you immediately in your head
10:11
Speaker 2: are now you're going to put yourself down, aren't you.
10:14
Speaker 1: I love that rule of thirds reference. For those of
10:16
Speaker 1: you that are unfamiliar, this is an Alexi papus gem.
10:20
Speaker 2: It's a third of the time it's gonna be bad,
10:22
Speaker 2: a third of the time it's gonna be okay, and
10:24
Speaker 2: a third of the time it's gonna be good.
10:27
Speaker 1: And when you divide it up in that way. In
10:30
Speaker 1: that format, you realize that so many of us that
10:34
Speaker 1: have this expectation that it's going to be really good
10:37
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of the time, we're kind
10:39
Speaker 1: of fooling ourselves. So to have that amount of grace
10:42
Speaker 1: and compassion to break it up in that rule of thirds,
10:45
Speaker 1: it allows you to proceed with a much lighter conscience.
10:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. I think me and my coach, like, we
10:53
Speaker 2: talked about this last time because I was kind of
10:56
Speaker 2: talking about how I was having like the bad season,
10:58
Speaker 2: you know, when things were terrible, but they weren't moving
11:02
Speaker 2: in a way where you go, this girl's going to
11:04
Speaker 2: defend her title and it's going to be amazing. And
11:08
Speaker 2: we talked about it because of that, and my coach
11:10
Speaker 2: is big on that. Like even just the other day,
11:12
Speaker 2: my last training session was like really good, but the
11:15
Speaker 2: one before that was like and my coach just said,
11:18
Speaker 2: you know that was a bad one. Yeah, bad file
11:23
Speaker 2: for now, put it in the bad file and then
11:25
Speaker 2: we'll move on. I was like, yep.
11:28
Speaker 1: And what's so interesting for those that don't have the context.
11:32
Speaker 1: Chase mentioned that she has the American record for the
11:36
Speaker 1: farthest shot put at twenty point seven to six meters,
11:39
Speaker 1: So when she says, like I threw two meters short,
11:43
Speaker 1: it's still like an inhuman amount of distance to make
11:48
Speaker 1: that ball move.
11:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem too, is you get that one
11:54
Speaker 2: distance and then all of a sudden, you hold your
11:57
Speaker 2: weight to that distance or that time or that measurement.
12:00
Speaker 2: You hold your entire like like self worth to that
12:05
Speaker 2: as an athlete at least. And so instead of being like, oh,
12:09
Speaker 2: if you peb'd every friggin time you went out there,
12:12
Speaker 2: everyone would do this, right, because you just run off
12:15
Speaker 2: into infinity until you're throwing to nothing that you're thrown
12:19
Speaker 2: into space at that point. And so like, I mean,
12:22
Speaker 2: you think about it in hindsight twenty twenty, isn't it,
12:25
Speaker 2: But like in the moment, you're like, why am I
12:29
Speaker 2: not throwing this measurement all the time? And it's like,
12:31
Speaker 2: because that's your best. So there's a reason at your best. Sure,
12:34
Speaker 2: you increase your best, but like you got to work
12:36
Speaker 2: to that. But in your head you go, oh, my gosh,
12:39
Speaker 2: why am I not write at my best all the time?
12:41
Speaker 2: Because if you were, everyone would do everyone would do
12:44
Speaker 2: it all the time, and people wouldn't look up to
12:46
Speaker 2: you like because anybody could do it.
12:49
Speaker 1: And especially when you get to this level where you
12:51
Speaker 1: are the world champion and you have these back to
12:53
Speaker 1: back wins, it's like you've really excelled at this point
12:58
Speaker 1: beyond everyone else. So knowing that it's hard not to
13:04
Speaker 1: want to keep going for more, but there also needs
13:07
Speaker 1: to be an understanding that it took you your entire
13:10
Speaker 1: career up to this point to get to this distance.
13:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Like that's such a like you don't think
13:18
Speaker 2: of it like that to you, Like you just said that,
13:20
Speaker 2: and I'm like, why don't I just go like girl, like, yeah,
13:24
Speaker 2: it's it's cool now, but like you all this work
13:27
Speaker 2: got to that. It wasn't like it just happened and
13:29
Speaker 2: now you can just keep doing it because if it
13:33
Speaker 2: was like that, it wouldn't have taken you fifteen years
13:35
Speaker 2: to do it, wouldn't.
13:36
Speaker 1: I feel as though sometimes when it comes to these
13:38
Speaker 1: moments where we exceed even our wildest expectations of ourselves,
13:42
Speaker 1: it feels like it's a fluke, and rather than getting
13:45
Speaker 1: to a place where you're like, no, like I worked
13:48
Speaker 1: my ass off, like I earned this distance, or I
13:51
Speaker 1: earned this time in a marathon, or I earned this promotion.
13:54
Speaker 1: It's like, no, like one day this thing just happened
13:57
Speaker 1: to happen, and now it's like a new thing that
13:59
Speaker 1: can be part of my story.
14:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's so true too. Like I just like
14:05
Speaker 2: the way you said that. That like when sometimes you
14:07
Speaker 2: say stuff like this happened last time too, but you
14:09
Speaker 2: say something like resonates and I'm like, I'm gonna write
14:12
Speaker 2: that down. I'm like, where's my comb I need my note.
14:14
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a flukee tase. You worked for that.
14:17
Speaker 1: You worked for that twenty point seven six. So, like
14:21
Speaker 1: I said, big purpose of this episode to do some reflecting,
14:24
Speaker 1: which well we are already knee deep in. So I'm
14:27
Speaker 1: gonna ask you the first question of the set here.
14:30
Speaker 1: If you had to choose a theme of the last
14:33
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days, what theme would you choose?
14:38
Speaker 2: To me? It kind of it's like a play on
14:40
Speaker 2: words too, like the struggle to success, right, because there
14:43
Speaker 2: was a struggle to it, but also I was struggling
14:45
Speaker 2: and then I succeeded, So it's like kind of how
14:48
Speaker 2: I feel about both of it, Like there is such
14:51
Speaker 2: a struggle to success like that, it's like a fight
14:56
Speaker 2: isn't it. But also I was struggling for like the
15:00
Speaker 2: beginning like a majority of the year less year, I
15:02
Speaker 2: would say with like how I was training, and pretty
15:05
Speaker 2: much the overall my training was wasn't where it was
15:08
Speaker 2: the previous year, So I wasn't feeling confident going into
15:11
Speaker 2: like the biggest part of my career, which is Worlds.
15:15
Speaker 2: But then you know, having it was like four weeks
15:19
Speaker 2: with my coach of just like true training, like I've
15:23
Speaker 2: never I think it was like the most locked in
15:26
Speaker 2: I was I was ever, and I'm pretty sure my
15:28
Speaker 2: coach as well, Like I think we were both so
15:31
Speaker 2: locked in to being like forget the struggle, like let's
15:35
Speaker 2: just go to do the one thing. And then I
15:37
Speaker 2: think we did it, And like I think that's like
15:40
Speaker 2: what I would call it, because it's it's like I said,
15:42
Speaker 2: it's the struggle to the success, but also struggle and
15:47
Speaker 2: then success, you know what I mean. So, yeah, I
15:49
Speaker 2: think I'd totally put it there.
15:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. I think that the thing about
15:55
Speaker 1: success is success most typically happens when you find confidence, right,
16:00
Speaker 1: and confidence is gained by confidence, and you get confidence
16:05
Speaker 1: from putting in the practice. So it's hard when the
16:09
Speaker 1: reps that you're putting in, the practices and whatnot, they
16:11
Speaker 1: feel as though they're not going how you want them
16:14
Speaker 1: to go. But the reality is is that even though
16:17
Speaker 1: it might not feel like it's hitting in the moment,
16:20
Speaker 1: you're still doing enough work. You're putting in the reps
16:23
Speaker 1: to get to a place where you can stand on
16:25
Speaker 1: your own two feet.
16:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need to write a book.
16:29
Speaker 1: It's coming, girl, I'm coming.
16:31
Speaker 2: I would read it multiple times a year.
16:34
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be called Struggle to Success, and then I'll
16:37
Speaker 1: give you royalties.
16:39
Speaker 2: That's fine, that's okay. So sometimes you say stuff, but
16:43
Speaker 2: I'm just like, yes, I can't respond. I'm just like
16:46
Speaker 2: period like.
16:48
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm just absorbing. I'm absorbing. So, knowing that your
16:51
Speaker 1: theme for the year struggle to Success, what would you
16:54
Speaker 1: say your proudest moment was from twenty twenty three?
16:58
Speaker 2: Probably record. It was something I've fought for for a
17:02
Speaker 2: long time, and I think the reason I'm so happy
17:06
Speaker 2: about it as well is I've always been like someone
17:12
Speaker 2: who trains further than their where they compete. So where
17:17
Speaker 2: I was training wasn't exactly screaming you're about to throw
17:21
Speaker 2: the furthest throw of your life. But I went into
17:23
Speaker 2: that meet and I told my coach, and I told
17:25
Speaker 2: my fiancee, and I told my friends, and I told
17:27
Speaker 2: my mom, I'm gonna feel the National record like I'm
17:30
Speaker 2: doing it, like I'm feeling it. I'm feeling myself. My
17:34
Speaker 2: pre meat wasn't good. I still said, it doesn't matter,
17:37
Speaker 2: like I'm doing this, And I think that's why I
17:40
Speaker 2: would definitely call it my proudest moment. Worlds is obviously amazing,
17:44
Speaker 2: but like there's certain things that you hold like dear.
17:47
Speaker 2: Everyone has that one thing, and I think for me,
17:49
Speaker 2: the National Record has been that one thing that like
17:52
Speaker 2: I've just been looking at and being like I want that.
17:54
Speaker 2: I want my name on the record book. I want
17:56
Speaker 2: it to say in our and then my name right.
18:00
Speaker 2: And so I think that was it was like a
18:02
Speaker 2: really pivotal point I think for me as an athlete
18:05
Speaker 2: as well.
18:07
Speaker 1: At the time that I'm gonna get this today, this
18:11
Speaker 1: is mine. Do you think that was strategic, like a
18:16
Speaker 1: mental play or was that one hundred percent just simply
18:20
Speaker 1: how you were feeling It.
18:22
Speaker 2: Really was just like it was definitely not that just
18:27
Speaker 2: I know I'm big on manifesting, but there was like
18:30
Speaker 2: something different about that, Like there was something different where
18:33
Speaker 2: I remember like feeling it like I felt like that
18:37
Speaker 2: was gonna happen, Like it wasn't just I'm saying it.
18:40
Speaker 2: I'm faking it till I make it right. It was
18:42
Speaker 2: so real to me, And like the Diamond League was
18:45
Speaker 2: like in the US, I was like, its just all
18:49
Speaker 2: of it where it all happened. The Diamonague files in
18:51
Speaker 2: the US. It's run by Nike, my sponsor. I'm doing
18:55
Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff with them, Like we did all
18:57
Speaker 2: this stuff and everything for this beauty thing, which is
19:01
Speaker 2: very me like female athletes, female empowerment. It was this
19:04
Speaker 2: whole thing, and I just there was just all this
19:07
Speaker 2: environment that just like even fed more into that, and
19:11
Speaker 2: I just felt it like it wasn't just like this
19:14
Speaker 2: this is gonna happen, like where you're just like I'm
19:16
Speaker 2: manifesting this thing. I like genuinely was like I'm getting it,
19:19
Speaker 2: Like I told everyone, well, I'm gonna get it. So
19:21
Speaker 2: like ever and like all the people who this is
19:24
Speaker 2: how I know I have the right people around me,
19:25
Speaker 2: they all just said yeap, okay, yep, you are, like
19:29
Speaker 2: we believe you. Like no one was like well, you
19:32
Speaker 2: know I didn't get that. Well, have you thrown it
19:35
Speaker 2: in training? Which is my favorite? And I was like, no,
19:38
Speaker 2: I hadn't leading up to it, But I felt.
19:41
Speaker 1: I love this for your most proud more of the
19:43
Speaker 1: year because it's you being your whole, authentic self and
19:48
Speaker 1: like showing up to this moment and being so in
19:50
Speaker 1: alignment and being more than just Chase the athlete, like
19:53
Speaker 1: identifying with all these other things that make you excited.
19:57
Speaker 1: When you talked about getting to this place where you
20:01
Speaker 1: truly believe that this was happening for you and you
20:04
Speaker 1: were gonna get this record. I feel as though there
20:06
Speaker 1: are probably people listening to this who have showed up
20:09
Speaker 1: in some similar fashion to something that they were really
20:13
Speaker 1: excited about, whether it was an athletic feat or not.
20:17
Speaker 1: Have you been in a situation where you felt so
20:20
Speaker 1: strongly like this before and it didn't go how you
20:23
Speaker 1: had hoped?
20:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely like that. That's why it's it's so important
20:29
Speaker 2: to me to like not let those failures in quotes,
20:33
Speaker 2: as we say, because nothing's really a failure those learning experiences.
20:37
Speaker 2: But you know what I mean, Like going into Doha
20:40
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, which is where I was like a favorite
20:42
Speaker 2: I had. I think I had the Furthest throw of
20:46
Speaker 2: the year or second Furthest and I'd won everything and
20:50
Speaker 2: I I choked, And but I went into that like, oh,
20:54
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it, you know, manifesting and pushing it,
20:56
Speaker 2: and it just didn't happen. But I think what's important
20:59
Speaker 2: in that moment is not to be like, well, it
21:02
Speaker 2: just doesn't happen if you don't do it, Like that's
21:03
Speaker 2: not necessarily true, is it? Like like there's one thing
21:07
Speaker 2: about like manifesting. But it was also my first major right,
21:11
Speaker 2: so like I couldn't control the fact that, like there
21:15
Speaker 2: was nerves I'd never experienced in my life. Like and
21:18
Speaker 2: I think I've talked to people about that now, like
21:21
Speaker 2: I'm throwing great, I'm throwing far right now, I've just
21:24
Speaker 2: one world I threw. I threw one of the Furthest
21:27
Speaker 2: stores in almost a decade, Like I'm in that zone, right,
21:31
Speaker 2: But like I've talked to all my friends who are
21:33
Speaker 2: Olympians and stuff. They're like the minute you walk in though,
21:38
Speaker 2: and you're at the Olympics, it's different, isn't it, Like
21:41
Speaker 2: and that's completely what happened. I'd competed against these people
21:44
Speaker 2: all year and I was like, oh, I'm gonna win.
21:47
Speaker 2: I'm gonna win. But that moment of my first like
21:50
Speaker 2: world championship, those nerves and so like, That's why I
21:54
Speaker 2: think it's good that I had that moment because instead
21:56
Speaker 2: of being like, wow, I just failed, what I did
21:58
Speaker 2: was realize, Okay, so now I'm going into my first Olympics,
22:02
Speaker 2: same thing. But now I've learned from what happened last time,
22:05
Speaker 2: and now I can use that for something even bigger
22:08
Speaker 2: and greater and use that.
22:15

24:15
Speaker 1: do you lean into to get through tough hurdle moments?
24:19
Speaker 1: Like what happened for you in Doha.
24:22
Speaker 2: I mean in the moment, I can't pretend like I'm
24:25
Speaker 2: always straight up, can't. I Like, I typically there's definitely
24:30
Speaker 2: a wobble. There's always like the wobble when you're handleb
24:33
Speaker 2: our shirt to go, you know, But yeah, I definitely
24:36
Speaker 2: typically after those moments wobble, I struggle. But then I
24:42
Speaker 2: think what's good for me is like having the right people.
24:46
Speaker 2: And I always say this to everyone I talked to.
24:48
Speaker 2: I was talking to the young athletes too, and I said,
24:51
Speaker 2: I said, sometimes there's people you need with you that
24:53
Speaker 2: like you, that tell you the truth, right, And so
24:58
Speaker 2: I think the good thing about I'm not trying to
25:00
Speaker 2: hype him up because ugh, but my coach, like, he
25:03
Speaker 2: always tells me the truth. So like since the beginning
25:08
Speaker 2: he's told me. If I said, oh, like what about this,
25:11
Speaker 2: he'd be like, no, it's bad, right, which means that
25:14
Speaker 2: when he's telling me it's good, I now trust him.
25:18
Speaker 2: So like in those moments I can turn to him
25:20
Speaker 2: and be like, ooh that was this, and then whatever
25:23
Speaker 2: he says, I now trust because I know he's not
25:25
Speaker 2: gonna lie to me. And that's kind of what I've
25:29
Speaker 2: done is make sure that the people around me can
25:32
Speaker 2: support me through those moments. And I think that's what's
25:34
Speaker 2: been helping me because personally, I have a lot of
25:38
Speaker 2: weakness in that. I think some people can do it themselves,
25:42
Speaker 2: which is girl, more power to you, but I struggle
25:47
Speaker 2: with it, like I definitely need help through those moments
25:49
Speaker 2: because I have anxiety and stuff like I have anxiety disorder,
25:53
Speaker 2: so like sometimes small things are huge to me and
25:57
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But because I surround myself with the
25:59
Speaker 2: right people and I make sure that I don't surround
26:02
Speaker 2: myself with people who are yes men or any of that,
26:07
Speaker 2: I think that that's helped me through a lot of
26:08
Speaker 2: those moments because I can turn to certain people and
26:11
Speaker 2: I say, is this happening? And if they'll tell me yes,
26:14
Speaker 2: if it is, or they'll tell me now you're fine.
26:17
Speaker 2: And then I go, well, they've never lied to me before.
26:19
Speaker 2: They've told me when I look shitty in that dress,
26:21
Speaker 2: you know, so like why would they Why would they
26:23
Speaker 2: lie to me now? So that's kind of like what's
26:25
Speaker 2: always been for me. And I know it's different for everyone.
26:28
Speaker 2: That's it's crazy, but I can't lie and say like
26:31
Speaker 2: a lot of it's internal for me because it's just
26:34
Speaker 2: something I've always struggled with.
26:36
Speaker 1: I appreciate you sharing that, and I think it's super relatable, right,
26:39
Speaker 1: knowing that sometimes it's just you need someone to tell
26:42
Speaker 1: you the truth. You need to be like, am I
26:44
Speaker 1: literally losing my mind? Because when you do have anxiety
26:47
Speaker 1: or you are dealing with some other sort of mental
26:51
Speaker 1: health battle on your own time, it can feel difficult
26:55
Speaker 1: because it's hard to distinguish what is fact versus what
26:59
Speaker 1: is fixed, whereas other people might not have as much
27:02
Speaker 1: difficulty doing that. You mentioned that you have been recently
27:08
Speaker 1: throwing farther and better and really really well. I know
27:12
Speaker 1: that this month this is coming out in January, this
27:15
Speaker 1: month you're getting married. You're in like a very high
27:18
Speaker 1: time for your personal life. Do you think that they
27:21
Speaker 1: go hand in hand your performance and feeling in a
27:25
Speaker 1: good place personally?
27:27
Speaker 2: Oh totally, I'm definitely. Like I'm as much as I
27:33
Speaker 2: was talking about this before we started, Like the wedding
27:35
Speaker 2: planning can be stressful and all that, but like there's
27:37
Speaker 2: like an excitement about it. I'm about to be married
27:40
Speaker 2: to like an amazing dude. I have great friends now,
27:44
Speaker 2: I have a great like support system, Like everything is
27:48
Speaker 2: plays into that, and it's nothing different than what I
27:52
Speaker 2: had at the beginning of last year. The difference is
27:55
Speaker 2: I had a bit of an injury, and like every athlete,
27:58
Speaker 2: I go, but it's only this little injury, like what's wrong,
28:01
Speaker 2: But like now I'm healthy. I'm sorry I had a
28:05
Speaker 2: knock on wood athlete thing, but yeah, I have the
28:10
Speaker 2: same people. But like, everything's just smooth right now. And
28:13
Speaker 2: I think when when your regular life is smooth, the
28:17
Speaker 2: athlete life runs a lot better. Yeah, so everything's going smooth,
28:22
Speaker 2: So I think my training is just doing a lot
28:27
Speaker 2: better because of it.
28:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm all fir smooth sailing. As we move
28:31
Speaker 1: forward here, we talked about your proudest moment, so now
28:35
Speaker 1: I've got to ask you about what your most difficult
28:38
Speaker 1: moment was in the last three sixty five.
28:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's easy. My very first indoor meat and I
28:47
Speaker 2: think we talked about this last time, where sometimes it's
28:49
Speaker 2: hard for athletes of any level to distinguish themselves from
28:56
Speaker 2: who they are outside of athletics and who they are inside.
29:00
Speaker 2: And I think I really struggled because it was my
29:03
Speaker 2: first meet I was dealing with like a little a
29:07
Speaker 2: little injury, and I did really bad. And I remember
29:13
Speaker 2: before the meet they asked me to do this stage
29:16
Speaker 2: thing and I kept saying, well, I have time to
29:17
Speaker 2: warm up. And it's a long story, but turns out
29:21
Speaker 2: I went and did this presentation and I had to
29:23
Speaker 2: go back and I had like two throws to warm up,
29:25
Speaker 2: and instead of rolling with it like I normally would
29:29
Speaker 2: because I had a lot of negative things going on,
29:32
Speaker 2: I immediately was like, well I didn't get a warm up,
29:34
Speaker 2: this is happening, and it was just it's that stack.
29:36
Speaker 2: You keep stacking this thing on top of you. And
29:39
Speaker 2: I got all stressed, and I remember the meat was
29:41
Speaker 2: over and I called my coach and I was crying
29:44
Speaker 2: and he just kind of listened to me because I'm
29:45
Speaker 2: just sitting there just they didn't let me warm up,
29:49
Speaker 2: just complaining, whining, not really being myself as a person
29:52
Speaker 2: or an athlete. And it was that moment where like
29:56
Speaker 2: it's that mix where like I was so disappointed myself
30:00
Speaker 2: as an athlete, I then forget that, like I'm outside
30:04
Speaker 2: of that, and it just brought me down as a
30:06
Speaker 2: person for like a month, So my training was struggling.
30:11
Speaker 2: I was a lot more of a bad athlete in
30:14
Speaker 2: training because I was just in a mood I was
30:16
Speaker 2: I was a bad fiance, like just that one little
30:20
Speaker 2: meet made me like not happy for like way too
30:26
Speaker 2: long for something so little and so small, and it
30:30
Speaker 2: was that I think it was that gray area where
30:33
Speaker 2: you lose yourself. And so the one mess up I'm
30:38
Speaker 2: a world champion I failed, carried into my personal life.
30:42
Speaker 2: So I'm being a bad friend. I'm being a bad
30:44
Speaker 2: athlete to my coach. Like I just remember being rady
30:47
Speaker 2: with my coach for like way longer than normal, Like
30:51
Speaker 2: sometimes you have ratty days. Everyone does, like, yeah, it's fine,
30:54
Speaker 2: but every day, every training session just seemed like that's
30:58
Speaker 2: not what I need to do. No, no, you know,
31:00
Speaker 2: like and just like I said, not being because that
31:06
Speaker 2: carried into everything and it was just it was just
31:10
Speaker 2: not a good space to be. And but like I said,
31:11
Speaker 2: I have the right people around me. Instead of like
31:15
Speaker 2: adding to the negativity, they really helped me work through it.
31:18
Speaker 2: But I think that was probably the worst time, and
31:21
Speaker 2: that was probably like February of last year. And I
31:24
Speaker 2: have got in that space again because I've become aware
31:27
Speaker 2: of it. But it was just a long time of
31:30
Speaker 2: being kind of a crap person.
31:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's understandable. Right when something goes not
31:38
Speaker 1: as we hoped, we aren't going to be ecstatic about it,
31:43
Speaker 1: But then you have the opportunity to reflect on it
31:47
Speaker 1: moving forward, so you can decide how you want to
31:49
Speaker 1: react the next time something similar goes down. So having
31:53
Speaker 1: been removed from that situation in particular for quite some time, now,
31:58
Speaker 1: what would you say the biggest learning was in reflection
32:02
Speaker 1: of this quote unquote Braddy time.
32:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think leading into outdoors. Then after kind of
32:08
Speaker 2: realizing it through the indoor season, like what happened, I
32:11
Speaker 2: was able to like separate that. So like I would
32:13
Speaker 2: have a bad meat or like bad to me, I
32:16
Speaker 2: would say me, but then I would I brought back
32:20
Speaker 2: the goldfish, didn't I? I put it away and then
32:22
Speaker 2: I'm back to Okay. That just means train harder, That
32:26
Speaker 2: just means this, I don't carry that into my day
32:29
Speaker 2: to day and stuff like that. So I think that
32:31
Speaker 2: really helped. It was like a shitty moment, but like
32:35
Speaker 2: it carried into being like like we said, if you
32:39
Speaker 2: can learn from it, it makes it worth it. But
32:42
Speaker 2: if you can't, then it kind of ruins it sad.
32:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I totally hear you. So the next thing here,
32:50
Speaker 1: are you a swift ye? Yes? Or now?
32:53
Speaker 2: Well like Taylor Swift? Yeah?
32:55
Speaker 1: What else would swift bed.
32:58
Speaker 2: I used to be and choose a country singer?
33:01
Speaker 1: Ah okay, a little shade coming from Chase Eely on
33:05
Speaker 1: Taylor Swifts. Well, as you know Taylor Swift Times person
33:09
Speaker 1: of the Year. If Chase Eely had to choose a
33:12
Speaker 1: person of the year, who is it?
33:15
Speaker 2: When I get these questions all the time, right and
33:17
Speaker 2: I'm in this podcast, what I'm trying to think is like,
33:20
Speaker 2: go outside of athletics, but your brain immediately goes, oh,
33:23
Speaker 2: I'm doing this thing and I'm this thing. And that's
33:25
Speaker 2: the exactly what I'm talking about, where it's like instead
33:27
Speaker 2: of me being able to be like think outside, all
33:30
Speaker 2: I'm thinking is like what athlete? And it's like just
33:34
Speaker 2: back out of it for five seconds, and I just
33:37
Speaker 2: never can, like because you know, it'd be like my
33:40
Speaker 2: mom like no, Like I want to be real. But
33:43
Speaker 2: it's just so hard sometimes because I'm like, who am I?
33:47
Speaker 1: Well, because you're immersed in it, like you're literally immersed
33:50
Speaker 1: in your athleticism every single day. It's a huge part
33:52
Speaker 1: of how you show up every day. It's your job, right,
33:55
Speaker 1: and when you spend a third of your life doing
33:57
Speaker 1: what you do for work, a third of your life
33:59
Speaker 1: sleeping only leaves one other third. So in between those
34:02
Speaker 1: two thirds of when you're awake, it's more often than
34:05
Speaker 1: not that something you're gonna think about is gonna have
34:07
Speaker 1: to do with your athleticism.
34:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
34:09
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna let you marinate on that for early night,
34:11
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have you come back to it please.
34:14
Speaker 2: I need a minute.
34:14
Speaker 1: Okay, what is something you want to do more of
34:18
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four?
34:19
Speaker 2: I feel like I don't let my I don't want
34:24
Speaker 2: to say audience because that sounds like I have an audience,
34:27
Speaker 2: but like the people that like follow me and want
34:30
Speaker 2: to know about me. I feel like I don't show
34:32
Speaker 2: enough of my personal life. So I think I've been
34:35
Speaker 2: talking to my fiance about that a lot, Like I
34:37
Speaker 2: really want to do more stuff to show people who
34:43
Speaker 2: I am as a person outside of stuff like this,
34:45
Speaker 2: which I think usually like people receive me really well
34:49
Speaker 2: and stuff like this, but I'm like, well, maybe they
34:52
Speaker 2: could see me in the day to day too, and
34:53
Speaker 2: I could show them, Like, you know, I don't just
34:56
Speaker 2: throw metal ball for a living, so that's definitely something
34:58
Speaker 2: I want to do.
34:59
Speaker 1: Why do you think that's important to you?
35:01
Speaker 2: I just think, like it's just like when I was
35:03
Speaker 2: talking to those young athletes and all of them were
35:07
Speaker 2: it was so cute, and there was like this competitiveness
35:10
Speaker 2: with them, and it was just this like I saw
35:12
Speaker 2: myself and a lot of them, and all I could
35:15
Speaker 2: think was, like, how much I struggle with We talked
35:18
Speaker 2: about this a lot the last time, but how much
35:20
Speaker 2: I struggle with who I am outside of being an athlete.
35:24
Speaker 2: And I've always struggled with that, like my whole life,
35:26
Speaker 2: because I've always been this competitive kid. And I think
35:28
Speaker 2: it's important to show people like who you are outside
35:32
Speaker 2: of sport, that like, oh, like you can you can
35:36
Speaker 2: do this, you can have a glass of wine and
35:39
Speaker 2: it's not the end of the day. You know, Like
35:41
Speaker 2: you can do these things. And I think that's really
35:44
Speaker 2: important for everyone to see that, like you, you can
35:48
Speaker 2: be somebody outside of what your main job is or whatever.
35:53
Speaker 1: Or just of like what people expect of you.
35:56
Speaker 2: If people don't listen to this stuff, if people just
35:58
Speaker 2: see me like on Instagram, for since I don't think
36:01
Speaker 2: they know like me as much as they could or
36:05
Speaker 2: should as much as I don't show them enough of me.
36:09
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is an interesting follow up question me
36:12
Speaker 1: telling myself my question is already interesting.
36:14
Speaker 2: So interesting?
36:16
Speaker 1: What is your assumed perception that they think of you?
36:21
Speaker 2: Like?
36:21
Speaker 1: What do you think your audience thinks of you?
36:24
Speaker 2: I think everyone knows like that I'm a bit more
36:26
Speaker 2: down to earth for sure, but like, I don't know.
36:30
Speaker 2: I think I hope they think I'm like D DTE
36:36

37:30

37:32
