UA Track Star stays motivated by a Simple Wristband

Arkansas Razorback Track & Field has been a well-represented and well-respected sports program. With 43 NCAA National Championships under the programs belt, none of it would be possible, without the hard-work being put in by the Coaches, athletes and the support staff that is needed day-in and day-out. For Redshirt Junior from Wichita Falls, Texas, Taliyah Brooks, she has something that helps her stay motivated and inspired every time she enters a new track and field meet. She has been rocking a Beezy Band that reads, "All things are possible, if you believe" - Mark 9:23 throughout her Track and Field career. She gives credit to God, herself, her preparation and her Coaches as to why she has been able to become a:

• NACAC Gold Medalist (heptathlon)
• 2016 NCAA Outdoor Bronze Medalist (long jump)
• 2016 NCAA Indoor Runner-Up (pentathlon)
• Six-time All-American
• Arkansas Outdoor Long jump record-holder
• 2016 Second Team All-Sec (pentathlon)
• 2015 Outdoor Honorable Mention (100H)
• 2015 SEC Outdoor All-Freshman Team (heptathlon)
• 2015 SEC Indoor All-American Team (pentathlon)

I asked Taliyah if The Beezy Brand has impacted her life in a positive way and if so, can she explain. Taliyah replied: 
 "I believe in the band because it just reminds me to keep faith in myself, keep faith in God and as far as sports go, keep faith in my preparation and my coach. I wear the band when I am competing because it serves as that little reminder. So when I look down at my wrist when I am on the starting line or when I am about to jump it allows me to remember those things and to remember why I am what I am doing. It allows me to keep faith in it so it serves as that friendly reminder that I always need."
