When talking with Phillips I questioned him about what he does to prepare for his meets as it come down to crunch time and there is no time for mistakes he responds, “some strengths I believe I have that make me a great athlete is my intent to go hard at practice, weight room and everything that I do to prepare myself for the game/match.”

“I’m passionate about playing sports because sports ran through my family’s bloodline. My dad played professional football for 12 years, my mom ran track, my grandma and grandpa both ran track, so track and sports have been around my family for a while.

I fell in love with track once I figured my whole family did it, I immediately knew this was something I wanted to commit to and work hard for.” Even with his families’ genes Philips works hard to have his own legacy.
