Kristen Nuss: We've gotten a lot of feedback of people just being like, "You can't fully prepare for the amount of pressure and nerves that you will have at the Games." But it is, I think, us just talking about the fact that it will happen.
I think just being OK with having those nerves is when we'll be able to kind of talk it out amongst each other, and just be OK with being like, "Hey Taryn, I'm a little nervous right now," and her not freaking out. Just trusting that you're gonna be OK, and trusting our training. So yeah, I think just being open with it.
Taryn Kloth: I mean, we get nervous before games now, in tournaments that are not the Olympic Games, but as soon as we hit the first side switch — we always say, we're like, "We have to get through the first side switch." So you switch sides every seven points. And so it's just: OK. As soon as that happens, then the whole world blacks out, and it's just us on the court type of thing. We just have to get to that point.
