Say, say you got a bad injury and you couldn't do it anymore. >> Yeah.
00:00:02
>> Um >> I've I've had that before, multiple times. >> Um people say, like mom said to me, she
00:00:08
goes, I'm actually surprised at how well you took it. >> I was like, yeah, like I guess you just
00:00:14
can't fix what happened in the past, or you can't fix what's happening right
00:00:19
now, you know, I broke my sacrum 4 months before Godzone, and yes, it was Am I allowed to swear?
00:00:24
>> I remember it was actually only a couple weeks before I went to Canada for the
00:00:29
World Champs, >> and actually needless to say that was a bit of a low moment, but it was only for
00:00:33
about 1 day, and then I was like, get over yourself, Molly, and um think about the
00:00:38
things that you can do, and I remember the lady, the sports doctor telling me, yeah, you've you've broken your sacrum,
00:00:45
and you can't go to Canada, and you'll have to tell your teammates that you
00:00:49
can't go, and you'll most likely be out for multiple months, and I couldn't work.
00:00:55

00:01:04
I'm quite a product you know, productivity is quite high in my priorities, and I just
00:01:10
found other things that I could study on, and actually studied sports psychology in that time. So, it was
00:01:14
like, you know, it's it's everyone has hard moments, but I feel like if you can
00:01:21
channel what you can do versus what you can't do is something really, really
00:01:25
important. >> But, there's a saying in sport, control the controllables.
00:01:28
