Building From The Inside Out - A Quick No Donuts Til Tokyo Update!

When I decided to become more consistent with my RUclips channel, I set my mind to creating & sharing what I want to see in the world. That's what I call "building from the inside out".
Here's a quick update of what I've got going on, and where I plan to take the channel next!

Thank you so much, Olu! I may be watching this 4 years into the future, but I must say, your focus on quality over quantity has brought real value to many individuals, myself included. To be honest, I think that the impact you made was (and continues to be) much more powerful than the impact of many of the bigger youtube channels out there - simply because the advice you give is so applicable and genuine, and the audience you have really wants to hear it.
I did wish to share a brief story of mine, in case you don't mind. When I started out in the triple jump my 8th grade year, I had never done sports before. I spent most of that year (and my freshman year of high school) in utter pain. I was way behind all of the other athletes at my school, and my triple jump was on the lower end - 30 feet at best. I wasn't sure if I should continue, but I decided to stick with it to improve my health, if nothing else.
However, I never stopped working at my improvement. My sophomore year summer, I worked out every morning, doing plyometrics and weightlifting with the soccer team. That got me into shape fast, but I wasn't used to having so much power. I sprained my wrist, my ankle, and my hip during my sophomore year as I got used to having a different body, and I did my best to recover each time.
As I hit my indoor track season, I was shocked to realize just how much improvement I had made. I hit 37.5 feet before states, and even though I didn't make it in, I was able to have some fun and enjoy my time at every event. Then, between my indoor and outdoor seasons, I found this channel, taking the first piece of advice I gathered: bounding, bounding, bounding! I did as much bounding as possible during my outdoor season, and I was able to hit 39 feet before it was over.
Though I know I will most likely not be a serious competitor beyond my high school or college years, I have learned one critical thing from track and field - I have to push where it hurts the most. There are few ways to become exceptional that don't involve working past weak areas and tough times. So again, thank you, Olu, for everything that you do. I will continue to refer to this channel as I finish out my high school career. It is a truly inspiring piece of work.
