  Speaker 1: Earley and Coach Moore at least once a year, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of course we do Mike's Kavanaugh just going down the
• 0:28

• 0:31
  Speaker 1: You've got a young lady from my town of Coventry,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: home of the Patriots volleyball champs in the past, baseball
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: softball champions last spring, and she has a question.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, lady, h what non basketball qualities do you look.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: For in your recruits?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: What? Non basketball? What qualities? Qualities? Yeah, I think there
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: are qualities that that make you desirable in any sport
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that you're playing. It doesn't matter whether it's basketball, softball,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: or hockey, doesn't matter Baden It I don't care to me,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: there's something about being on a team and being choosing
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: to be in a team sport. And if you're choosing
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to be in a team sport, then one of the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: main qualities you have to have is your willingness to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: be a great teammate. Because if you're in a team
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: sport and you're allows a teammate, then you're not going
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to last very long, not on a good team anyway.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And if you're a great teammate and you understand what
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the coach wants, you're someone that's selfless, okay, and you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: care about other people more than you care about yourself.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You know you want to do You'll always be on
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a team your whole life. Anytime you try out for
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the team, you'll make the team because a smart coach
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: will recognize that you have those qualities. And there's kids
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that have tremendous talent that don't have those qualities that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: they never play at Yukon. So this is not necessarily
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: about playing at Yukon or anyplace else. I just think
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that whether you go to work when you graduate from college,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: they're going to ask you to be on a team.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: You know, you go to work let's say at iHeart,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they got a whole bunch of people working here. They're
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: going to put you in a little you know, Okay,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: this is this organization, this is this part of our organization.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You all need to work together to figure this one out.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So everything you do for the rest of your life
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: is going to involve some kind of teamwork. So if
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you're a great teammate and you're passionate about it, that
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter what sport or what part of your career
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you get involved in. To me, that's that's the big separator.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And with that we close it up. By the way,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: go to YouTube. Do you know the twenty sixteen final
• 3:01
