Early on during my College Track and Field Career, I was very stressed out. In every High Jump Competition I wanted to jump a Personal Record and get better so badly, that I ended up not enjoying the process at times.
I made a promise with myself going into my last two years to enjoy the moments and have fun. I had two of my best years with that mentality. That promise is also why I smile when I compete now.
It reminds me that this is just a sport, and I do it because I enjoy it. At the end of the day I am a person with feelings and emotions. High Jump Is What I Do Not Who I Am.
I encourage y’all to try and take on this mentality. It’s very freeing.
