0:15.0

So big, big congrats. Huge congrats. Yeah, thank you. How does it feel? I don't even know if it's sunk in yet still.

0:26.0

Really? Yeah, absolutely. That's amazing. Oh my gosh. What's it like since you've been back?

0:35.0

It's been like great to be back over here. Like it was it was definitely wild and a lot, but I just like wanted to get back on the field, honestly.

0:48.0

I like clear my head and just get back to like normalcy. Like there's just no normal anymore.

0:54.0

That's true. Yeah, we were speaking with someone on Hannah Wilkinson from Maryland and she was just saying how like different it was over there.

1:03.0

Just because like even when you guys are all eating at the same place, like you can't like mingle and everything.

1:09.0

So it just sounded like such a different experience. Yeah, yeah. It was weird. It was wild.

1:14.0

So how did you guys stay focused and like not let things surrounding you get in the way? Like what kept you guys like focus and mindset ready and everything?

1:23.0

Like to go for the goals? I mean the environment was kind of like self-cocusing because you were just so secluded and like we were with the same 30 people for four weeks straight.

2:26.0

I think we didn't have like a sole expectation like for what we were capable of and we kind of like left that super up to what we would be able to put up on the field.

2:36.0

Like it wasn't like this is what we're doing because we know that we're capable of it. Like keep saying that and it just it never really panned out.

2:43.0

And so I think knowing that we were capable of it, but like not trying to do too much of the talking about it and just really making sure that what we said that it mattered what we did was more important.
