Going into the Olympics I was like: Maybe I can try and do what I did in Tokyo again and be as big as that... It was important for me to not get carried away by that. That meant every night I was with our sport psych to do mindfulness to stay really present because I was nervous. I didn't want people to think I wasn't serious because I do social media or social media takes away my impact on the field.
As a female athlete I would love to just focus on what I am doing on the field but if I want to live a comfortable life, if I want to make real money, I have to actually do more. Maybe that is a female thing, sometimes we have to do more. I wasn't willing to give up something that could be so lucrative for me, I wanted to make sure I could do both.
