Description
“Every runner dreams of going to the Olympics. It’s certainly something that we’ve all been striving for… Then you get to a point like Nico where it’s like, ‘you just did it.’ It’s very cool to see such a big dream come true. He’s wanted that for so long. I’m so proud of him.”
Lex and Leo Young join the show after watching their older brother Nico Young make his first Olympic team. They share about what it means to them to watch Nico achieve his dreams and share about their aspirations in content creation + other content creators in the track and field space that they look up to.
