So that was a full soccer moment for me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it was crazy.

By chance.

And I think life is obviously about, timing is everything in life.

And I really believe that.

And I think some things might be not the right time, relationships, partners, sports, but...

Sports, I think, is the number one thing.

If I have children, I would put them in right away.

I'm not going to tell you to be a fencer, but I think just sports teach you how to lose, what it feels like, integrity, listening.

And I think that's what fencing taught me.

A hundred percent, I think.

Ellen Grayson and Eric Rosenberg, they were working at the school at the time, and they saw my potential.

And they actually were the first person to say, get your citizenship.

But I didn't realize I was going to be who I am to this day.

Without them, I would never have probably seen my potential and seen how far I could take fencing.

And then my coach, Simon Gershon, became like my dad.

I can tell him everything.

he's kind of teaching me that, you know, that you must learn how to lose before you can learn how to win, which is a tattoo I have, which I think is so important because understanding the feeling of losing as an athlete is the hardest thing, you know, to kind of understand and swallow.

But then you have to understand what that feels like.
