❤ ps- oh, i just realized this is Alex's channel (i was so excited, i basically lost my mind and started writing :) Alex, you are EVERYTHING! so gorgeous, elegant, charming, fierce, and inspiring. watching you and the Virginia Team is so thrilling and motivating. You ladies are extraordinary, and you especially are one of my very favorite swimmers :)
What a wonderful gift these interviews are for swimming fans! We get to hear occasional gasping post-race questions answered and sometimes discussions about training but never (until now) get to know the person behind the medals. Thank you, Katie and Missy! Your approach to interviewing is fantastic! Honestly, I would LOVE to hear the 2 of you interviewing each other! You both have amazing stories to tell that we could all learn from, without all the media hype distorting things.
These are supposed to be Olympic Medalists who represent the United States in international competition, and yet they spend the entire time laughing, and nothing is funny. Also, just how many times can they say the word, "like" in a one-hour program. If Missy has a problem with Team USA being correctly called out for not winning Gold Medals at Worlds than she can let someone else have those spots on the team who are actually going to win instead of accepting less than their best. Swimmers often talk about going best times, but that's just it: They don't win, and they don't go best times, usually slower than World Team Trials.
❤ OMG, that intro with the music is the ABSOLUTE BEST! :) i'm freaking out right now, as that music gets me so pumped :), and Missy and Alex are full on fierce heroes :) and you all three are gorgeous. oh, i just heard you talk about the suit line with Gretchen. her too (gorgeous hero)! so stoked you ladies are doing this :) best wishes!
❤ post PS- just realized this is, in fact, the podcast channel. wow, maybe you ladies should change that music before people completely lose their minds. i am going to go take a time out and try to recompose myself, then return to finish the interview :)
Thank you for sharing your story with us I really enjoyed watching the Olympics when Alex and her sister Gretchen are there for each other that is so powerful and going to see a therapist
What Alex mentioned about therapy was much needed to hear, I truly enjoy every one of your podcast interviews!! They are awesome- so refreshing and inspiring. And I get to know these Olympians’ lives in a more personal and deeper way.
