看到這樣真的超酷的，會覺得，我真的以是英國國家隊的一份子為榮，而且要穿這套隊服。

有充裕的時間讓他們試穿隊服，確保他們穿起來好看，感覺良好，而且很舒適。

It's like a moment of reflection as well.

To say, like, congratulations, you've made it, you've earned this kit.

The purpose of it really is quite simple, and

that's to make them feel very confident about what we're providing for them, in particular, the competition way.

We can hold our breath for about three minutes to three and a half minutes, but

then, yeah, in a routine, we wouldn't hold our breath for more than 30 seconds because you have to think you're, like, physically exerting yourself so much.

My family have been so involved in my athletics, especially early on.

我的家人一直以來都非常投入我的田徑生涯，尤其是在早期。

It just even started from, you know, saying to them that I want to be a sprinter.

讓我印象深刻的是，在我還沒指導 Des 的時候，她早期就達到了很高的成就，但後來也經歷了一些挫折。

Like many athletes know, injuries isn't just a physical thing.

就像很多運動員知道的，傷勢不只是身體上的問題。

It's just a factual thing of if you can't perform and run well, I'm sorry, but

And I think that's like a very difficult time, not just for myself, but

我覺得那段時間非常艱難，不只對我自己，

many athletes, because then you start questioning your identity.
