My first year as a freshmen, lets just say I didn't come in as prepared as I should have been for working out and being in shape. I was always in the last three on every conditioning drill that we did and I felt like I would of been one of the stronger ones on the team, but I wasn't. I told myself at the end of the year I didn't want to come back as a slow girl again. So I busted my butt over the summer. I was going to get into a program for speed because I was determined to get faster. While in the process of trying to find this place back home (Reno, Nevada) I decided to try this other thing that was just getting started and it was called FAST (Functional Athletic Strength Training). I met this wonderful man named Carlos Madrid; an ex MLB player. He made me a completely different athlete. I wasn't this clumsy, sloppy athlete anymore. I could control my body and I was FAST! I was a good athlete before but Carlos made me a GREAT athlete. I couldn't have asked for a better trainer. I was so addicted to the program he had me on I was going 6 times a week sometimes 7.
When I came back my sophomore year I kicked butt in all the conditioning drills and was way stronger. I wasn't one of the last 3 I was one of the top 3 every time. I reached the goal that I wanted. After my sophomore year I did the same thing over the summer so I didn't lose anything that I had accomplished. It was the best feeling ever. But as most of you know I have gotten injured and have lost almost all of that. So getting back into working out is kicking my butt. I hope that it all comes back fast when I start going hard again, but being injured really does set you back. I am ready to start my journey back to building up to where I was. Being one of the upper class men on my team I need to be a role model and get back to the top so I can set the pace for the future girls. I am super stocked that I am almost over the healing process. Another thing that goes on in a life of a collegiate athlete. Sometimes you get hurt. but you have to rise back up and show the world what you can do and how strong and willing you are to be a star again.
