00:00I think it's been a build-up, I think every week if you guys look online we've been getting
00:26better from week one so I think it's really coming together for us this week and I think
00:30we want to just keep improving and getting better.
00:41Yeah I was really surprised at how many people came out for a 3 o'clock match on Friday so
00:45yeah I'm really grateful you guys have all been amazing and keep it up.
00:48No it's not surprising to me, I really trust and believe in our team and I think we can
00:59do great things so I think the wheels are catching and if that emotionality makes sense
01:04to you guys then yeah.
01:06Even though you haven't lost a game, what do you still need to work on moving forward?
01:10Are you still keeping warm for the Olympics and possibly the finals?
01:14Yeah I mean we still have so much to work on, I feel like we can still be a lot better
01:17in a lot of areas.
01:19Giving up little runs, side out, serving, pressure, just staying consistent throughout
01:23the whole game.
01:25Covering is a big one for us, that's what we want to be really good at so yeah I think
01:28we're trying to just keep doing better at every skill that we can and we'll see how it goes.
01:35How have you been coping with the Olympic training time and not a lot of rest days as
01:38well?
01:39Very tight schedule this week.
01:41Yeah it's not too much time to practice because we've got to manage our bodies with the heavy
01:46schedule so I think we're kind of using these games as like trainings for us for the Olympics
01:51right so the finals are a pretty important tournament but for the summer the Olympics
01:55is a big one and we're trying to peak up to that.
01:59How long have you been with the team?
02:03I started, I got my first call up in 2018.
02:08How is your performance?
02:12Now you're over a year in the team, how do you feel about it?
02:24I'm very happy yeah, I'm pumped about it.
02:27I think so many guys are improving, I think we're really gaining a lot of confidence playing
02:31with one another.
02:34How is it for the team?
02:36How is it for both of you?
02:38How is it for the team getting closer and getting inside to the Olympics?
02:47Yeah it's pretty cool you know, I'll never forget where it all started and where I came
02:51from so I think being here is surreal for me.
02:55It's a dream, something I dreamed about a lot when I was a kid and I never thought it
03:00a million years that I would make it this far so yeah I'm just super grateful and being
03:06here, even singing the national anthem, it just brings me back to when I was a kid and
03:11just kind of the journey of volleyball.
03:14It's really special.
