What does the Free Point mean to you?

A: Free Point is a state of mind that allows me to just quit caring. I am free to be exactly what I really am because there's no thoughts rambling in my mind. I'm just going on instinct. 

How do you embody the Free Point daily?

A: Best way to embody Free Point is to face something super challenging each day. When you feel like quitting that's when I really lock into it. For me, I like to think of it as a beach. Right when I want to quit I think of [the] beach and I'm reset. Not because it's relaxing just because I think it gives my mind a place to rest. 

What's something you want to improve on in one year?

A: Obviously, I want to keep growing my game, but I really want to just be more present. I want to be content with each stage of my life. Be more mindful of my situations.
