These first few days of preseason have really been about getting my body back into the rhythm of team training and adjusting mentally to all the newness around me. Transitions always bring some type of challenge, even if its change that you wanted to happen. My mind has been cycling between confidence and doubt, optimism and uncertainty. It is really interesting to sit back and kind of observe this pattern passively, you know? There are moments when I feel fully prepared and excited, when I can clearly see how this step in my career can elevate me. And then, without warning, questions surface. Will this work the way I hope? Will it unfold the way I envision? They aren’t triggered by anything specific. They just appear, uninvited, throughout the day at random times.
