Finding Balance With Diver Katrina Young

Katrina Young has unfinished business and she wants to get it done in Paris.
The two-time Olympic diver will compete in the U.S. Olympic Diving Trials in Knoxville, Tennessee, from June 17-23. She'll compete in both solo and synchronized events.
Katrina grew up in the Pacific Northwest, graduated from the University of Florida with a music degree in 2015 and competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Games. She didn't medal in either.
Her third Olympic push has focused heavily on mindset.
"You do have to go through this series of moments where the pressure feels very heavy. And I don't think that I've ever gotten into the zone at the Olympics where I've gotten through the pressure," says Katrina.
Going for a third Olympic team meant doing things differently.
The 32-year-old is a newlywed. She and her husband relocated to the West Coast.
Katrina moved to Los Angeles last year to train at the USC pool and pursue her other passion as a singer-songwriter. The change in scenery and shakeup in training are paying off.
Katrina says, "Shaking up where I live and my day-to-day routine has really opened my eyes to different sides of myself."
And, it's provided the elusive balance so many Olympians and the rest of us crave.
On this Dying to Ask:
- Athletes thrive on routine. How did Katrina decide to flip her life upside down in her push for Paris?
- Advice on defining what balance means to you
- The unexpected value in pursuing two passions at the same time
