I was at the the edge of the abyss, you know. I was I was looking down into the this dark hole of of my entire career of
00:00:06
of all this work that I'd done potentially just not being enough and maybe there was just this this this bit
00:00:11
inside me that didn't have what it takes. >> Cuz if you miss that third jump, that's
00:00:13
it. You're done. >> That's it. I'm done. Of all the didn't
00:00:16
qualify for the finals, that would have been the worst one. I knew that if I didn't clear that bar, that would have
00:00:22
been it. like I wouldn't have continued competing because how do you continue
00:00:25
competing when you know deep down there's this little bit of you that won't front up when it really matters.
00:00:30
Yeah. I went over to Jimmy and just like I was like a kid. Like I buried my head
00:00:34
in his chest and he just like held me and he was just like, "Bro, you've got
00:00:37
this. Like just slow it down. Deep breaths. You've got this." I scraped
00:00:41
over the bar. You know, I was able to bring out just enough of a jump as as I needed. I scraped over the bar and if I
00:00:46
hadn't done that third attempt I wouldn't have won >> because like that was the moment I had
00:00:50
to look within myself and know deep down it is there. Then I kind of knew that anything was possible.
