1
00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:03,350
Mhm . Mhm . 

2
00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:08,796
I was an alternate coming out of the 

3
00:00:08,796 --> 00:00:10,907
Warrior Games with the US Army team . 

4
00:00:10,907 --> 00:00:13,129
Um and that was about three years ago , 

5
00:00:13,129 --> 00:00:15,351
so it's been a long time that I haven't 

6
00:00:15,351 --> 00:00:17,462
really been participating in anything 

7
00:00:17,462 --> 00:00:19,629
and then I got a call three months ago 

8
00:00:19,629 --> 00:00:19,310
asking if I was ready to come on board 

9
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:21,800
as an alternate . Um I have been 

10
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:24,030
working out a lot , so that's part of 

11
00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:26,780
my daily routine and practice . Um Just 

12
00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:29,530
as an active duty soldier , it's less 

13
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:31,830
about physical fitness and preparation 

14
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:33,997
and it's more about you know , staying 

15
00:00:33,997 --> 00:00:36,052
rested , but also doing the recovery 

16
00:00:36,052 --> 00:00:38,219
process and then staying like mentally 

17
00:00:38,219 --> 00:00:40,441
sound . So not stressing yourself out , 

18
00:00:40,441 --> 00:00:40,260
being really tuned into whatever you're 

19
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:42,482
competing in , make sure you're focused 

20
00:00:42,482 --> 00:00:44,593
and ready to participate in the thing 

21
00:00:44,593 --> 00:00:46,538
that you've trained a long time to 

22
00:00:46,538 --> 00:00:46,760
compete at .
