Remembering all the hard work that I had to put in to be a part of this team and the journey of a life time. All the times I had to sit and watch people live out my dream last year knowing that if I put in the work I could have the chance of going to nationals and having no other option than to be put on this team is what motivates me.
Coming in to each and every practice knowing that there is someone who was me last year, someone who would give anything to be out on the mat and in my place motivates me.
Knowing that throughout all the ups and downs of the journey I've had the most amazing support group to pick not only me up but to keep the team chemistry where it should be motivates me.
Being part of a team that works hard each and every day to continuously get better and who never gets complacent motivates me.
Having the ability to go out on the the mat each time and trust every person out their will try to be the best they can be motivates me.
Looking at each and every person on this team and knowing they have had some sort of physical and/or emotional struggle they have had to overcome to be here motivates me.
Proving to Pat time and time again that we are the best team he could have put together, accepting and demolishing ever challenge he has faced us with motivates me.
Lastly, knowing that if we go down to nationals and perform the way we run we will get what we rightfully deserve motivates me.
