You mean to tell me I've broken a record amongst all of these athletes who've been training for years and who are supposed to be representing us in the next Olympic games, which are in five months. And then all of a sudden it was just this flip. Can I actually learn a new sport? Can I learn to do it well?

And can I actually learn to do it well in time to represent my country at the next Olympic games in five months? And so for me, I hadn't even seen a bombsled yet. I hadn't been down a track because there's no ice on the track. in August. So there was no ice going to be ice on the track until October. So I didn't fall in love with the sport of bobsledding.

I fell in love with this challenge of seeing if I could actually get to the Olympics and qualify and compete for my country. So that is, that was the challenge that I embraced. Now you did mention high stakes. Like how did I take on this high stakes goal? And I think that I would find, flip that and say, I didn't even consider it to be high stakes.

I considered it to be probably low stakes because nobody was expecting me to do well. Nobody was expecting me to be able to, you know, go to the Olympics and competed five months. It just seemed like a very lofty, ambitious thing to strive for. And as I mentioned earlier, my parents, their love and support of me was not conditional on an out on a, a performance outcome or anything like that.

So I had, I didn't, I knew that they weren't going to be disappointed in me one way or another. So it was interesting. I didn't have the pressure to go and try and be the best. I just had embraced the challenge of seeing how close I could get. What are the chances as if I'm really going to get to the Olympics in five months, but I wonder how close I can get.

And as you go, you start realizing as things progressed, I was like, wait, and that's the same with every goal. If you embrace that idea of how close I can get as you go, you're like, wait a second. Maybe this is possible. Like what? Like the closer you get, you're like, wow. Okay. Whoa. I'm getting a lot closer than I thought. And maybe this is possible.

What do I need to do to take it over the top or how can I make those extra few strides to actually get on the team. What are the things that I need to either learn or develop? Or it's just interesting how, when you start off that mindset, embracing this challenge, and then you challenge yourself to see how close you can get things open up along the way. And it's really remarkable.

And like I said, I didn't feel like I was risking anything.
