The speaker discusses setting goals and protecting one's dreams and ambitions, believing that aiming high and having coaches who believe in you is important. They talk about an experience where a coach told them a podium was unlikely, which affected their mindset, but also gave them knowledge to share. After doing well in their first world championships, the speaker took time off, got very sick with tonsillitis, glandular fever and appendicitis requiring surgery, and also went through a breakup and stopping birth control, which impacted their body and mental health as they gained twelve kilograms in six weeks.
