This from, uh, TheRealBigA30k wants to know, "What's a common misunderstanding with breaststrokers?" Anything?

I think sometimes people think that like we don't work as hard, you know what I mean? I think like people think that like, oh, our practices are easier.

Oh, this, that, that, that, you know.

Where I think sometimes our work just looks like different.

You know, especially as a sprinter, less yardage or something, they're like, they're like, "Oh, you know, look at my distance, distance practice and that was so much harder than your, you know, 3K, 4K practice", you know? Like, which I think hard can always look different, you know? And th- just because our practice looks different doesn't mean, you know, I didn't put the same amount of effort in s- as someone else did.

And, you know, for me sometimes my, you know, like for me the gym's big, you know? So I think like there's different ways that people's training looks different, and I think sometimes everyone just assumes that it's like easy but like, you know, I think like, you know, the way I push myself is still hard.

I think the discipline I have outside of the pool is still hard.

It's the best way to support Social Kick, and it really helps us be able to get access to more athletes and more guests to keep making content.

Yeah

... like, trying to find one thing that I could c- the, controlling the controllables.

What can I control even when it's a hard day? And it just felt like I can never find the piece to, like, click, and I was just, I was just getting so frustrated.

Like, I, at times I...

Like, Matt could see it.

He would see me so frustrated and, like- Like, I've cried to him, and, like, I'm not a crier, but, like, this past two months, I've, like...

Probably the most crying I've done in a while.

Yeah.
