## Transcript

My number one song that pumps me out is 9 Piece by Lil Wayne, Rick Ross. I'm a huge rap fan. It depends on what I'm really into. Right now I'm really liking [ UNKNOWN ] album so I've been dreaming [ UNKNOWN ] to that but who knows what I'll be listening to next month. Any type of hiphop rap. Recently, Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do. [ LAUGH ] Carly Rae Jepsen's Cut To The Feeling. DMX's X Gon' Give It To Ya Start barking a little bit. It really gets the blood flowing. I really don't try to pump myself up at all before I compete. I try to be as calm and relaxed as I possibly can, and I listen to a very strange mix of music.

But a lot of old school, classic rock. I'm going to have to go with Miley Cyrus " Party in the USA ". USA cuz I mean, USA themed. Hip hop, a lot of hip hop. One song in particular, Mob Deep, Shook Ones, just really upbeat. I like Nickelback. I actually don't really listen to music before I compete. I like to hear my surroundings and be in the moment, I guess. Right now I'm I'm into Cypress Hill and they have a song called Ain't Goin' Out Like That. I think one that I've kind of listened to the most is Pursuit of Happiness and it's the remix with Steve Aoki. Ordinary Day by Great Big Sea. Wake Me Up, Avichi.

I typically listen to 90's alternative. I love electronic dance music, so I'd definitely have some EDM on the play list. I'm gonna kinda just twist the question a little bit, but after the games, we listen to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, just cuz it's a lighthearted song, and it's usually after a victory. [ MUSIC ]
