Tracy’s brother, Jose died of germ cell cancer, and he inspires her to fight. “Every time I feel tired or I feel fatigued or I question anything, I think like, damn, my brother fought with cancer in his heart and he didn’t give up,” she told ESPN. “He fought through it. I’m perfectly healthy. I’m more than capable to do what I’m doing. This is easy work. That’s a huge motivator for me.”
Tracy works hard. She trains at Neuro Force One, a “data-driven” program incorporating nutrition, strength-and-conditioning, and mental training. “Just body-wise, I’m a lot stronger, I’m a lot more explosive,” she told ESPN.
“Mentally, I’m able to calm myself down. They have me doing breathing exercises and calming my heart rate. There’s so much science behind the training. Instead of always going hard, they say train smarter and fight stupid. So when we’re in the fight, we’re fighting. There’s a plan behind it, but you’re going in there to fight. When you train, you’re not training to hurt yourself every day. We’re training a lot smarter than what I normally would,” she told ESPN.
Tracy has opened up about her mental health on social media. “I want to be very vulnerable but I also — to a certain extent because social media knows how to tear people down,” she said in one of her Instagram Stories. Instagram Stories. She added that she hadn’t been sharing a lot, as she is in a “season” of healing. “I’m healing and I’ve been going through it on a personal level. I’ve been healing and accountability is a hard pill to swallow and a lot of people aren’t able to take accountability of their actions. You know, it’s always east to find the easy way out, excuses, you know? And I’m changing everything that I thought I was once. I’m trying to become a better person. I’m trying. Not that I was bad, but I’m trying to move intentionally, I’m trying to move purely.”I’ve been going through it since August,” she continued. “I went through my camp extremely depressed. I went through my camp, despite how my mental state was, I still gave it 110 percent. I showed up and it was hard. Everyone around me in my circle saw, and getting pulled out the way that I did, hurt me. It broke me because we give everything. We leave it all. We give everything that we possibly can and we leave it all, every ounce of us in every session. I feel like training camp really takes a toll on me, and I think every fighter to a certain level can relate, spiritually, physically, obviously mentally, it takes a toll on us. And I gave it all. I gave it all I had and not fighting has kind of left me a little lost. But I’m okay. I’m keeping myself healthy. I’m making my mental state, my state of mind, my mental health, I’m making it a priority.”
