Unfortunately, it's the athletes who are willing to share their story who also get that funding.
And I think you just need to look at it like it's hard to be a full time athlete.

I still could be more comfortable.
I think when I started Swifter first, I was still competing a bit more and I was kind of embarrassed to show that I was doing something different.
It felt...
a little bit outside of the grain of an elite athlete to do this and start my own business, especially a business for kind of everyday runners.
So I didn't really show myself for a long time.
