Get to know Ralph

What inspired you to pursue your sport?

My parents wanted both my brother and I to be water safe. Once we started to get better at swimming we signed up for competitive teams. I always wanted to beat my brother in a race. It made the sport fun and interesting. I loved going to practice to hang out with my friends which kept me pursuing the sport. 

What are your Go Beyond achievements and milestones in your sporting Career?

One of my biggest achievements was qualifying for the 2021 US Olympic Team Trials in the 100 backstroke. It was always a dream of mine to compete against the best in the world and I earned my place to get there. 

Why did you choose to work with H2O Audio?

My teammate Jamal Hill introduced me to H2O Audio earlier this year. It was a great fit since I love working out and I love listening to music.

How has H2O Audio enhanced your training and performance?

I love listening to music when working out. When you time a good song to a hard set it gives you the motivation to push through. 

What is your favorite music or playlist to listen to during workouts, and what type of workout do you use it for?

I love listening to EDM. Something with a fast beat that I can kick to. Spotify Playlist

Can you share a memorable moment or story from your training where using H2O Audio waterproof headphones made a significant difference?

Sometimes you get in your head and need to go to a different place to get out of a funk. Its nice to turn on some music and reset. 

How do H2O Audio waterproof headphones help you stay motivated during tough training sessions or competitions?

Before racing its essential for me to listen to music. Getting in the zone puts you in the right place before you compete. 

What advice do you have for aspiring athletes?

Train hard and have fun!
