The hitting is for match awareness. It keeps me focused.

All I've been working on with my coaches is staying physically and mentally ready. I knew that's what it would take. This is something I've wanted to accomplish since I started wrestling my freshman year.

I knew this was going to be a tough tournament all the way around. I didn't think I would dominate and I knew all the matches would be close.

I'm hoping this brings parental awareness to the situation.

It provides opportunities for people to enjoy riding and just get some awareness.

We think just having an awareness is going to help address health issues early and prevent them from being more severe.
