A healthy breakfast for you should include?
MS:
I LOVE homemade avocado toast with a hardboiled egg on top and some yummy seasoning or hot sauce. I usually pair it with some fresh fruit, a coffee, and some water.
NN:

NN:
How do you train for the Olympics?
MS:
I believe you start training for the Olympics the second you begin to dream of them. Mentally, emotionally, and physically – training starts early. But in terms of an actual timeline – our team trains together every summer & then we train ‘full-time’ a year and a half before the Games begin. This allows us to live remotely to the pool and train as our full-time job. We train 7-10:30am (lift & conditioning) and then again from 1:30-4:30pm (skills, strategy, play). We do this 4xWeek and then 7-11am 2xWeek (6xWeek in total).
NN:
You hydrate your body with?
MS:
WATER! We also use Klean hydration & gatorade, especially during our long hours on a hot day!
NN:
How do you like to spend your day off?
MS:
I spend a lot of time recovering so my body is ready for the next day of training – so this means a lot of time in the training room. Otherwise, our team loves breakfast/brunch – so it’s always fun to go get a yummy meal together :)!! Can’t say no to delicious food with friends! And luckily, we live by the beach too, so catching some waves or just enjoying the view is always a nice way to escape the grind and appreciate where we are.
