My entire college athletic career in 8 minutes

[@KyleMillis]

Hell of a career! Glad you got to cap it off with that insane win!

[@marcosricopeng]

Me too, definitely highlight of my time here!

[@kixigvak]

Not the end! I'm 74 and still swim. I wish I'd understood when my real swimming career ended the importance of staying in shape. If you never get out of shape you age much slower and enjoy a vibrant physical state right up until the end. So keep swimming! My personal salvation was open water swimming.

[@anthonycj8214]

You've put in a lot of hard work and still made some awesome achievements in the past 3 years despite the challenges. Congrats bro 🔥👊

Thank you appreciate it!

[@leif1075]

@@marcosricopeng I also just watched your video on daily life and just wanted to ask how you stay motivated and is your training mostly fun and enjoyable?? Thanks and hope to hear from you..

[@abbyhaskins6229]

@@leif1075 yea I’m wondering the same thing. I am equally inspired yet ashamed of myself when I watch videos of collegiate athletes and their discipline and motivation. I need to do more. 😆

[@marcosricopeng]

Haha good question. I think a bit misconception is that you need to be motivated at all times. But that's completely false haha there's so many times where I don't want to get up for practice and i feel super lazy but it's discipline and habits that pushes me through it. I think once you get over that initial hump and you start doing it regularly, like brushing your teeth, it starts to become who you are. And then you start seeing results and that is when the motivation comes to push even harder. Consistency is key!

[@leif1075]

@@marcosricopeng is it mostly fun and enjoyable then and not boring and tiring..life life too short to work so hard at something that's not mostly enjoyable..

Hi Marcos, I came across your channel a while back,and I am wondering if you know a swimmer Ken Takahashi? He swam at Berkeley a couple years ago. He was my favorite coach, and you remind me a lot of him.

[@marcosricopeng]

I never got to meet him; I think he graduated a year before me. Heard nothing but good things about that guy on the team too!

[@robertlaw4073]

You have a great attitude and I enjoy your channel. Something popped up on YT for a college where they are having a Nike swim camp this summer... it was 2 roommates back in 2019 doing a tour of their room and it was pretty clear they had big plans for a college vlog on fashion and lifestyle. And after 3 videos, it just ended. Covid totally canceled so much. But the sad thing is that the sacrifices and the public health directions and recommendations cannot be definitely said to have helped anyone. Instead, by "flattening the curve", and by closing borders, they only ensured that the virus would be able to mutate and ricochet around the globe in a self-fulfilling prophecy. You may not care to share your personal health details, but simply the fact that you were allowed back on campus at Cal suggests that between your first covid infection and your second infection, you received the vaccine like a good responsible person following the experts recomendations. Too bad that by doing that you were making things worse not just for yourself in that your body may have done some screwy stuff internally in response to the action of the vaccine regimen, but that you and all other collegians have contributed to a public health vulnerability which is homogeneous immunity to a highly mutagenic virus. That is the real harm of vax mandates, but anyone who speaks about it gets shut down. Meanwhile kooks on the right can go to their tin foil had zone and talk about fetal cells and microchips in the vaccine and people believe it. But an amorphous concept like stochastic modeling of cobweb relationships between mutations and vaccinations is something that is easily swept under the carpet.
