Blame myself for it.
And then...
it's a there's something called like post-olympic blues yeah where that michael phelps has a documentary about it but you get very sad because it's like this one moment you've prepared for your whole life and it's amazing right and then if even if you don't medal if you do medal it like you come crashing down it's like all right see ya maybe in four years you can get it do it again yeah maybe maybe so it's a very stressful thing and even now i'm so stressed out thinking about this olympics coming up because yeah we want a medal we want a medal for our country for our team it would mean so much so
it's like psyching yourself up to be heartbroken and to do that all over again.
And I don't want to do it again, but like have that, that pure devastation that I felt.
But then also it's just that trade off of, you know, what you get to do.
It's worth it.
It's, it's so hard, but then you also become like such a, I think better athlete, better person because of it.
Yeah, I think, well, as we're talking about, I just have maybe the personality for it, and it just worked out for me in that way.
But I started before the Olympics, and I remember I was just doing some videos when we were in Spain for a tournament in España.
Um, and I was doing some videos in our hotel room and I remember I was seeing the reaction to it and people were getting really excited.
And I had like, got like 5,000 followers in a, in a short amount of time.
And then I was at that tournament and some guy came up to me and was like, Oh, you're the TikTok girl.
And that was when I was like, wow, that's really crazy how powerful that is.
Yeah.
Like how quickly it happens, how quickly it is and how it can spread like that.
So I kept doing the TikToks.
And then at the Olympics, I was really aware that people are made at the Olympics.
Simone Biles Michael Phelps like they were made there and that's not not made but like that's where the world knew them yeah came to know them yeah and I knew I wasn't gonna mean the list you know I'm not the best I'm a very good rugby player I'm not the best rugby player and it's a sport also that not many people are watching so I didn't knew that I was gonna say I think you're being a little too harsh on yourself even now I'm I think it's just the popularity of the sport more than anything
that's what i mean yeah for sure for sure um so i knew that but i knew that i had something that people didn't and i think you know you know you feel as well like a personality and an ability to say what i'm feeling and not feel like cringed about it or awkward or judged for it totally yeah so in the village i was you know saying all these things and that's why i got the term is thursday olympian because i was saying the stuff and you're on just saying regret
