Nikki Hiltz recently shed light on the impact their coaching change has had on their performance on the track. Hiltz joined Juli Benson's group earlier this year as they moved on from their former coach.

In an interview after their performance at the USATF Outdoor Nationals, Hiltz shared that the coaching transition brings about a mental hurdle regarding one's performance. Additionally, Hiltz also remarked that this change has been a difficult one for them and shared (via Runner's World):

"I think the mental battle … any athlete faces when they go through a change, was it my coach or was it me, or was it a mix of both? So just mentally reassuring myself, I’ve been successful with a lot of different coaches. It’s not just one coach one time that makes me me. But change, even if it’s good, change is hard. The 1500m, especially, this year, it’s not just me that made a change, it’s the entire field."

Outside of their track life, Nikki Hiltz made a major revelation a few weeks ago, where they stated that they went through a top surgery after the quadrennial games last year.
