0:00.0	Welcome back to hashtag real pod. Today we have a very special guest in Taylor
0:13.9	formico kiki. Taylor is a former UCLA starting labaro and a two time Pac-12 labaro of the year.
0:21.6	And she's an ABCI all-american. So she was an incredible athlete and I am pumped to have
0:26.4	her because Taylor's story is very inspiring and she's also just a very inspiring girl. She went
0:31.3	from being a setter in high school to changing positions when she went to college and spent her
0:36.9	first year at UCSB. She absolutely shattered records there, took a year off of volleyball, then came
0:43.2	back at a UCLA and absolutely dominated. We are going to talk all about her mental framework,
0:49.5	how she approaches the game, and overall what life lessons and morals kept her centered through it all.
0:55.5	I was really excited to do this with her because I've always looked up to her and admired her as a
0:59.6	player and I just had a great time sitting down with her. I do want to say that we had some technical
1:05.7	difficulties so you might be hearing differences in some audio moments but overall just extreme

1:24.8	put some of this into your play and the way you function as a teammate and as a player on whatever
1:30.0	team you're on. So with that said let's get started and get ready for some amazing wisdom from Taylor
1:35.2	Formico Kingi. I wanted to have you on this podcast because I think for me at least playing
1:44.9	the Labeiro position was very hard. I think of solo tennis players, I think of pictures, I think of
1:51.4	goalies, sort of that position that's kind of selfless. It's just you in the ball and you have all
1:59.0	this time to think. And so when I thought of like who I could bring on to help me sort of have a
2:03.6	great conversation about this was you because I've always looked up to you as a Labeiro and you
2:09.6	certainly appeared to have totally mastered it. And I'm just grateful to have you. So thanks for
2:16.0	coming on. Yeah, thanks for having me. Your whole podcast and everything you guys talk about is
