When I tell people I’m going for two more Olympics, they look at me like I’ve lost it.

If nobody questions your goals, they’re probably too small. If nobody doubts you, you’re not stretching far enough.

When they say “you can’t” don’t get mad.
Don’t argue. Don’t defend it. Just smile and use it as fuel. Doubt is free motivation. Criticism is free energy. And disbelief is just confirmation you’re chasing something bigger than most people can see.

Crazy? Maybe, but I’d rather be crazy in pursuit of a dream… than sane and wondering “what if?”

And while you’re here, go drop my teammate a follow. Mark my words: This kid will be Olympic Champion one day.

You can’t coach what he has. That fire. That edge. That obsession to win. His will is second to none. His work ethic matches his talent.
And he shows up every single day ready to earn it.

The future is in very good hands. 💪💪
