Massey softly sprints to get his blood flowing. "I always try to make sure I am always moving during my exercises because I don't want my body to hit the cool off stage," Massey says. 

Massey prepares himself for his high knee warm ups. "I try to exercise everyday even when I don't have a track meet coming up because it keeps me in shape," Massey said.

Massey juggles the ball with his feet. "I do like doing exercises with a soccer ball sometimes though because I feel like it helps me with foot coordination."
