Kat Holmes has been competing on the international fencing circuit since she was 15.
Kat Holmes uses a decidedly old school method to track her busy schedule while she simultaneously trains for Paris 2024 and studies in medical school.
"When I was going through my first Olympic cycle , I definitely got burnt out. I was going 100% all the time," Holmes, who spoke with CNBC Make It while promoting her partnership with the fitness coaching appHolmes at the Tokyo Olympics.When she starts to feel more aches and pains, has trouble sleeping well and doesn't take as much pleasure in the things she usually enjoys, Holmes has learned to allow herself to dial things back.
Allowing herself the ability to take a break is helpful in the long run because burnout is "really hard to come back from" when it fully sets in. "At the end of the day, I love fencing. I really, really do," she said. "I really love being in the hospital and dealing with patients."
