HVL also talked about how she and her teammates had to be mentally tough in order to get through the games at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

"This game was about mental toughness," Van Lith said, as per NBCDFW. "Both of us (Canada) had lost the games before it, so we knew we just had to come out tough. That's all we were talking about. It comes down to who is going to be mentally tough enough to play for the fouls."

"We just tried to take advantage of them playing physical. We tried to spread them out and not let them deny us the ball. We just tried to play it in our favor," Van Lith continued

Even though Hailey Van Lith was uhappy the team could not win gold for America, they bid adieu to Paris with a resolute performance and a bronze medal.
