Additionally, she also mentioned that her naps helped her quite a bit to go through this practice regime in the South African camp. She said (via her YouTube channel, 0:55 onwards):

"I need my naps here so bad because training is, it's not exhausting every session but the load of training, I'm not really used to that because we train twice a day almost every day so yeah I really need my naps and they help me a lot."

Schmidt further added:

Otherwise, I have to say I am not feeling too tired, it's quite fine and I'm super happy that the training is going well and my body is doing good and don't have any hurts or something. So, I am super happy about that and also the training is really good planned."

During the vlog, Schmidt also shared that her coach in her South African training camp had provided her with adequate amount of training and she is quite elated with her progression.
