  Welcome to the Gill 1918 Project, a podcast series by
• 0:03
  coaches, for coaches powered by Gill Athletics.
• 0:06
  Think of this as the Ted Talks of track and field coaching.
• 0:09
  Short, insightful, and packed with valuable strategies to help
• 0:12
  you grow as a coach. We'll bring in the once a year
• 0:15
  track clinic straight to your ears daily.
• 0:17
  Interested in creating your own episode?
• 0:19
  Everyone's welcome to participate.
• 0:21
  Check out the show notes below For more information.
• 0:23
  Now let's get into today's topic.
• 0:27
  That that's amazing. So you went from, you know, mid
• 0:30
  twos to to the threes and like, here's the standard.
• 0:32
  So again, standard show up on time.
• 0:36
  Do what's expected of you, right?
• 0:37
  Pay the Caesar what is due to Caesar, right?
• 0:40
  And if you don't, here's the consequence.
• 0:44
  Yeah. And The thing is, and it wasn't
• 0:46
  just and it wasn't just the the on time, like it was a lot of
• 0:51
  things that I, I adjusted in my program, like my kids don't come
• 0:55
  into and like even I have some of them in math class, they will
• 1:00
  check the kids who cuss in front of me.
• 1:02
  Hey, you can't cuss in front of coach, right?
• 1:06
  Not to say that I've never cussed ever, like in front of
• 1:09
  the kids, like I slip up sometimes, right.
• 1:13
  But you know, that was another thing because we were getting
• 1:17
  deemed for for cussing like you can, you can lose points for
• 1:21
  that and attract me. So that like I had to help have
• 1:26
  them understand like this is a standard because it not only is
• 1:30
  it not a professional thing, but also like you're going to end up
• 1:34
  costing yourself at a track meet.
• 1:37
  So like all of those small things about like how to be
• 1:40
  professional, you know, how to carry yourself, things like
• 1:43
  that. All that stuff rolls over and
• 1:45
  the kid, like you, I was so surprised, but I didn't realize,
• 1:49
  like what the kids paid attention to like they do, they
• 1:53
  paid they paid attention to the fact that I was married, You
• 1:56
  know, when when, when my son was about to be born, like every
• 2:03
  single man, I had kids that weren't on even on the track
• 2:06
  team, you know, coming in. Hey, coach, how's your wife?
• 2:09
  How's the baby? Hey, coach, baby's being born.
• 2:12
  How's the baby? You know, what's the name?
• 2:14
  You know, can't, can you, can you bring them over here?
• 2:16
  I'll babysit for you. You know, things like that are
• 2:20
  things that, you know, like they say like thankless jobs and
• 2:24
  things like that. Like you cannot put a price tag
• 2:27
  on, you know, the relationships that you build.
• 2:29
  And then like kids, like kids are like loyal, like loyal to a
• 2:34
  fault. And so you know, you, you always
• 2:37
  want to make sure like you're, you're taking care of what has
• 2:41
  to be taken care of to set them up for success.
• 2:44
  Because what you don't want is you don't want to fail them at
• 2:47
  this level. Then they go to the next level
• 2:48
  and then they are in for a rude awakening because that coach has
• 2:51
  to feed their family on you, on you succeeding or failing.
• 2:57
  Right. And you know what the coach and
• 2:59
  I and I think of what you're saying is really important here.
• 3:03
  You're, you're the example, right?
• 3:05
  And we, we pull our kids forward.
• 3:10
  A lot of people try to push him and go do this, do this, do
• 3:13
  this, but you aren't doing it right.
• 3:15
  No, no, no. How about we, we show up the way
• 3:17
  we're expecting. And that one of the things that
• 3:19
  I teach our kids, if you're, if you're going to ask somebody to
• 3:23
  do something, you better be doing the most of that thing
• 3:25
  you're asking. I mean, that's all our coaches.
• 3:27
  If you want to, if you want people to show up on time, you
• 3:30
  better be the most on time person you've ever met in your
• 3:32
  life, right? If you want people to work hard,
• 3:34
  you better be the hardest working person they see.
• 3:37
  If you want people to have integrity, you better have the
• 3:39
  most integrity out there. And you can't have you can't be
• 3:45
  a over here or you can't plant apple seeds and expect
• 3:49
  watermelons, right? It doesn't work like that.
• 3:52
  So you got this program and you know, we kind of wrap it up here
• 3:57
  because I don't want to get you back to your family.
• 3:59
  One walked in the door be on time and that's kind of the, you
• 4:03
  know, the minimum standard data, other things.
• 4:06
  I'm sure that went into it, right.
• 4:08
  So what meet the mark. If you don't, here's a
• 4:10
  consequence, we'll put you over here.
• 4:12
  Don't care how fast you are. There's no you got to respect
• 4:15
  the system and and and your team and respect each other.
• 4:18
  And if you don't, then this is what you get right?
• 4:21
  Then you're looking at, hey, here's our plan for the year.
• 4:25
  This is what we do. Here are the things that I, I
• 4:28
  really want to focus on that are important for us, for this team.
• 4:32
  Showing the data, explaining to the kids what's really
• 4:35
  happening, making sure that you're customizing, tailoring
• 4:38
  the trainings to what it is that they need and finding ways to
• 4:43
  expose those weaknesses, but having enough wisdom to stop
• 4:48
  when things don't make sense, right?
• 4:51
  Instead of just sticking to the proverbial plan.
• 4:54
  Then academics, let's get it together.
• 4:58
  We've got to be on this. We got to be here.
• 5:00
  Here's the target, y'all and meet this target and then you
• 5:05
  qualify for X, right? So what I see here is a system
• 5:10
  of here's the goal, here's the outcome.
• 5:14
  Here are the ways that we can get there.
• 5:18
  It's up to you to get there, right?
• 5:19
  So you've given them, you've empowered the kids, you've
• 5:23
  empowered the staff, you've shown by example what it's like
• 5:28
  and to be what you're asking them so that they can follow
• 5:33
  your building trust with the athletes.
• 5:35
  And that is what has essentially created this culture of very
• 5:40
  successful athletes. People ask, how do you build a
• 5:46
  winning program? You start with a standard.
• 5:50
  You don't back down from that standard.
• 5:52
  You hold people accountable, you empower them to hold each other
• 5:56
  accountable and you become the example.
• 5:59
  And then you mix in all the fun data in between and Excel sheets
• 6:02
  like Coach has here that it's really kind of cool.
• 6:07
  And then you, you, you, you execute and you do that
• 6:11
  consistently. Coach, that's amazing.
• 6:17
  I do have a couple of questions. I know Coach Debney would kill
• 6:19
  me if I. Ask these.
• 6:21
  Questions. He's going to jump on me.
• 6:26
  So the two questions we have and then we'll kind of wrap up and
• 6:30
  roll out. The first one is what is
• 6:32
  something that you could have only learned from your USATF or
• 6:37
  other courses. So he said that I was like,
• 6:42
  what, What am I going to? What should I say to this?
• 6:44
  You know, I'm not sure. Well, The thing is this, this
• 6:47
  layout that I have right here on the screen is actually from
• 6:50
  USATF, right? And as a matter of fact, what
• 6:54
  you can't see is this down here. Let me Scroll down.
• 6:59
  Come on, come on, come on. So you see this this little
• 7:01
  thing right here, this this yellow.
• 7:04
  This is directly from the Sports Science 2 course that was that
• 7:09
  was taught by Doctor Brookings. Doctor Brookings from UCLAI
• 7:17
  believe she was at UCLA. She might not be there anymore,
• 7:20
  but that was who taught the sports science 2 course.
• 7:24
  So if you ever do a level 2 course for USA track and field,
• 7:28
  you have to do sports science two first before you can test
• 7:32
  for your certification. And so this is what I used to
• 7:37
  when I like, and I was, I looked at it like every day when I
• 7:42
  first, when I first started creating programs because I went
• 7:47
  to the jumps first, but I still had to figure out how to coach
• 7:50
  the sprints. And I hadn't like done it.
• 7:55
  They had, I hadn't done their course on the locks And you
• 8:01
  know, the I didn't have the hurdle equation and all of this
• 8:03
  other stuff, right. So I was kind of, you know,
• 8:05
  doing a lot of research on my own trying to figure it out, but
• 8:07
  I always had this as a as a foundation for the energy system
• 8:15
  that I was taxing. The other thing is, if you look
• 8:21
  right here, I have a note to myself.
• 8:23
  Create a base fitness assessment for testing before Christmas
• 8:26
  break. So standing broad jump, standing
• 8:29
  triple jump, 40 yard dash, 30m fly overhead shop put slash Med
• 8:33
  balls go 45 seconds Sprint in a one mile run, right.
• 8:37
  So it, this is not the fitness assessment, it's just, it was
• 8:44
  just a note that I made to myself to make sure that I
• 8:47
  include the five biomotor abilities in whatever assessment
• 8:51
  I do so that I have a good understanding of where the
• 8:55
  athlete is as a whole. So that was something that I
• 8:58
  learned from Level 2. I don't want to move that.
• 9:03
  That was something I learned from the Level 2 of course with
• 9:05
  USA Track and Field. And the other thing is I tell
• 9:09
  people they should go like even if you think you know everything
• 9:13
  though, because guess who's there?
• 9:15
  College coaches are there, right?
• 9:17
  So I've met some college coaches at level 2 that I kind of got an
• 9:22
  upper hand on because guess what, if I call them, you know,
• 9:26
  they already know me. They know I went through the
• 9:27
  same instruction that they did. They saw me present whatever I
• 9:31
  presented during that time, depending on which course I met
• 9:34
  them in. And then I also have a lifeline,
• 9:43
  right? So my you're, when you go to
• 9:45
  USATF, the instructor. I, I can't speak for level one.
• 9:50
  Well, some of my level 1 instructors were also my level 2
• 9:53
  instructors. But at level 2, specifically,
• 9:57
  when you get those instructors, if you are like struggling, like
• 10:03
  floundering, and you just reach out to my head coach, I'm really
• 10:05
  struggling with this. I got this many kids, I'm trying
• 10:07
  to figure this out. They they'll, they'll reach back
• 10:10
  out to you and they'll talk to you through, you know, and that
• 10:14
  was why I learned that you can just talk to a college coach
• 10:18
  just normal. Because when I first started
• 10:21
  coaching, I was like in awe. I mean, and a lot of it had to
• 10:24
  do with the university in the marks that the that the athletes
• 10:27
  had. But you know, you know, Coach
• 10:30
  Chu, who's down at TCU, Coach Morgan told me to reach out to
• 10:35
  her, one of the best humans I've ever met in my life.
• 10:38
  You know, hey, coach at Talton State, Bobby Carter, one of the
• 10:47
  best people I've met in my life, met him at USATF jumps right
• 10:52
  when he was still at University of Arizona.
• 10:55
  You know, like you learn by going to these places, by
• 11:00
  interacting with people, like how the game actually works and
• 11:06
  and coaches will tell you like, that's not going to work for me,
• 11:11
  you know, so I know, like the coaches that I talked to does
• 11:15
  tell me shut up. Nah, I can't use them or, you
• 11:20
  know, hey, I didn't think I could use them, but yeah, like,
• 11:25
  give me a call. Right.
• 11:28
  And so it's that's what it is. Like coaches are still people
• 11:32
  and I didn't know how much or how little they knew in college
• 11:39
  until I started going to these coaching clinics.
• 11:42
  And they don't know how much you know or don't know until you go
• 11:45
  to these coaching clinics and you then you get to kind of show
• 11:48
  them. Yeah, you know what, it's, it's
• 11:52
  funny that you say that cause of course we know when you've been
• 11:54
  in a game long enough, you, you find out that they're what it,
• 11:58
  there was a past president and he talked about any level you go
• 12:05
  to, you're going to find geniuses and you're going to
• 12:08
  find fools. And so that I find that to be
• 12:13
  true in every group or environment I've ever seen.
• 12:17
  You know, that includes college coaches, high school coaches,
• 12:19
  middle school youth, the pros, you've got some geniuses and
• 12:24
  then you got some people that probably should not be coaching,
• 12:27
  right. So I've never mentioned any
• 12:29
  names. I've met some people and I'm
• 12:31
  like, who put you in charge? That's not right.
• 12:35
  But hey, you know, to each their own.
• 12:38
  And I pray for the athletes that they find great people at all
• 12:41
  times. OK, so the second question here
• 12:44
  is what is something that you could not learn from a course
• 12:49
  but had to learn by experience? That I'm on a perfect campus.
• 12:54
  So the building that we train in is the long haul.
• 12:58
  Coach Deadman, I saw your name pop up.
• 13:00
  Coach Deadman, if you are ever in the Indianapolis area, give
• 13:03
  me a call and I'll give you a personal tour of campus.
• 13:08
  So the building we train in, it is a square.
• 13:12
  Guess how long the square is going all the way around?
• 13:16
  No, it's exactly 200 meters. I'm going.
• 13:18
  To go for it. So, so when I'm training for
• 13:21
  indoor, where do I train at? I train, I train in that
• 13:24
  building. And so I have a hallway that's
• 13:27
  80 meters. The side hallways are 20 meters,
• 13:31
  no, 70 meters and 30 meters on the side, right.
• 13:35
  And depending on how far, how deep into the corner they cut,
• 13:39
  it's it, it can be a little bit more, it can go all the way up
• 13:44
  to like 250 meters, right. And so I learned that I learned
• 13:50
  that before I went to USATF for sprints, I was just, I had my
• 13:55
  walking stick and I was just measuring.
• 13:57
  And then another building, the hallway is 120 meters exactly
• 14:02
  from wall to wall. And so I'm like, OK, that I can
• 14:07
  work with this because when I need to do 80 meters, they have
• 14:09
  40 meters to slow down. And you know, most of them are
• 14:12
  not, you know, really going all the way through the line when
• 14:15
  they first start anyway. So, so I I learned that just
• 14:24
  from being on the campus and and that's the creative coach brain
• 14:29
  side of things. The other thing that I did learn
• 14:32
  from USATF initially in the Sprint sports, if you change
• 14:36
  the, if you change the rest time, you can change the type of
• 14:40
  workout that you have. So one of the workouts that was
• 14:43
  shared, this wasn't USATF, it was just one of the coaches.
• 14:47
  I want any instructor shared it. And it's called a 400 meters the
• 14:50
  hard way, right? So it's called 400 the hard way.
• 14:53
  So it's a 40, it's 40 meters and it's a relay.
• 14:58
  So it's basically down, back, down back.
• 15:01
  So you go down and back five times or 1040s, but everybody's
• 15:05
  getting less than a minute break.
• 15:07
  Basically you break it up into the group so everybody gets
• 15:10
  about a minute rest. And so when you shorten the rest
• 15:13
  like that for 40, it changes the the response that the body or
• 15:22
  you change the the adaptation. So maybe you only have about 40
• 15:27
  meters to work with, but you need to do a speed indoors
• 15:29
  workout. You can do something like that
• 15:32
  to get that kind of work out instead of having to rely solely
• 15:36
  on the distance. That's powerful.
• 15:39
  So our 400 meters, what the hard way was different.
• 15:42
  Our coach will make us run. Well, this was outdoor, but
• 15:45
  that's really cool. We did.
• 15:46
  We did 100 meters and walked back 50.
• 15:48
  We had to make our way all the way around the track.
• 15:51
  Yeah, we that, that 50m walk back was like, you know, we're
• 15:54
  trying to be like zombies. Yeah, trying to walk back as
• 15:57
  slow as possible. Yeah, man, that that thing that
• 16:00
  speeding doors and there or that tempo.
• 16:01
  Oh my God, You were thinking by the time you get to that 6781,
• 16:06
  you're like, yo, I'm done, right.
• 16:08
  And the kids, that's one of the thing that they don't
• 16:10
  understand. Like sometimes you tell them to
• 16:12
  go 7075%, you know, 3/4 speed here.
• 16:15
  Do you think they're like, oh, no, we're not running fast
• 16:18
  enough. By the time they get to that 7th
• 16:19
  or 8th 1, they're like, they're like leaning over looking for
• 16:23
  every bit of trying to hold their lunch in.
• 16:25
  So yeah. Yeah, absolutely the.
• 16:28
  Hardest part is keeping them at that pace when they when they
• 16:31
  want to go faster, right? They don't understand the
• 16:33
  recovery in time. So man, coach, man, I know, I
• 16:37
  know at some point we're going to have to do a round two and
• 16:39
  dig into some more of this technical stuff because I know
• 16:42
  that that everybody really loves and enjoys the technical pieces
• 16:46
  of it. And again, I think we're we're
• 16:47
  probably going to do another coach's round table, get all the
• 16:49
  coaches together and just talk through the speed talk through
• 16:52
  the science, because I think that's important.
• 16:55
  Like the sports science part of it is important.
• 16:57
  The data is important, but also learning how to build
• 17:02
  relationships with your kids and not be a, you know, a Richard,
• 17:08
  take that and y'all, y'all filled in the blank on that one,
• 17:10
  right? Yeah, I mean, but but I felt the
• 17:14
  need to share that because everybody focuses so much on the
• 17:18
  the technical piece and it's almost to the point of
• 17:21
  forgetting like what coaching is really about.
• 17:23
  Like in coaching, like what is coach literally mean?
• 17:28
  It is getting somebody from point A to point B.
• 17:32
  And, you know, coaching is both an art and a science.
• 17:37
  And I feel like I've mastered the art of coaching the science
• 17:42
  I'm still working on, you know, getting it, figuring out exactly
• 17:46
  how the science works for my kids because that's that's
• 17:51
  sometimes you just got to be in it long enough.
• 17:55
  So, but yeah, this is a good conversation.
• 18:00
  I love being on here. Coach Deadman, I'm going to
• 18:03
  reach out to you. I'm going to shoot you my
• 18:05
  contact information because our, our state association, our
• 18:10
  coaches association just released some meats.
• 18:13
  So I'm going to send those your way for the indoor season.
• 18:19
  And then I'll shoot you my information.
• 18:21
  Coach Jones, if you, if you have anybody who wants more like the
• 18:27
  real nitty gritty, because I can, I can really nerd out on
• 18:31
  the science stuff. I just opted I just, you know,
• 18:36
  one where I'm at, like I thought I was going to be in in the Home
• 18:39
  Office and I'm not in the Home Office.
• 18:42
  I thought I was going to be on my other laptop.
• 18:44
  I'm not on my other laptop, you know, but I still wanted to make
• 18:47
  sure that I was here. But if anybody wants like some
• 18:50
  like, like I said, like the real nitty gritty, like nerdies kind
• 18:54
  of stuff, like I have all kinds of stuffs, man.
• 18:57
  I have the, the Pythagorean theorem stuff for high jump, you
• 19:02
  know, you know, like I, I got all kinds of stuff.
• 19:06
  I have the equation, like I, I told you the equation for the
• 19:09
  hurdles. I have that down pack.
• 19:11
  I have the actual like equation for measuring out the push float
• 19:16
  turn drill I talked about for the long jump.
• 19:21
  Like I got a lot of stuff that I wanted, I didn't know I was
• 19:25
  going to be able to share on screen.
• 19:27
  So the next time, you know, we get on next time, next time we
• 19:33
  get on and I'll make sure I have some of that stuff kind of
• 19:36
  preloaded so I can just share it and people can and, and then I
• 19:40
  can send you the the PowerPoint over as well.
• 19:42
  So. Oh yeah, look, we, we've got a
• 19:45
  lot ahead of us, right? We didn't even have to do it all
• 19:49
  in one night. Man up at the division is is
• 19:52
  coming to pass. The reason why I created the
• 19:54
  track tribe was for this, right? For us to be able to get
• 19:58
  together to share our knowledge, our resources and to sharpen
• 20:04
  each other, right. Because I may know something
• 20:06
  that you don't know. You know some things that I
• 20:08
  don't know. And if we share that, yes.
• 20:11
  It's, it's a competitive edge. We think we hold on to things
• 20:15
  and we're just man listen, the more we share with each other,
• 20:17
  the better the competition gets and the better the, the the
• 20:20
  meats get, the better the kids get.
• 20:22
  And if you're really a coach that loves the kids, you want
• 20:24
  the best of competition, right? We don't dodge any smoke as we
• 20:28
  say, we want all the smoke as we say down South, right?
• 20:30
  We looking for the. And.
• 20:32
  I'm going to tell you if you're ever and I, I don't know if you
• 20:34
  got travelled or not, but if you ever guys ever come down to the
• 20:37
  Atlanta area or maybe we'll go down to the Bob Hayes meet at
• 20:41
  some point. We can't go this year.
• 20:42
  But like the Bob Hayes meet in Florida, you know, we, we, we,
• 20:47
  we got some smoke down here in Georgia too.
• 20:49
  If you don't want to come get some.
• 20:51
  Me, me and me, me and you know, my coach Jones, the boys head
• 20:55
  coach, he and I were just having a conversation today.
• 20:59
  We're going to sit down and make sure we set up things like the
• 21:04
  paperwork so that we can get some of our kids to travel some
• 21:08
  of these other places. Because like you said, like I
• 21:11
  want the kids to be able to go down to University of Kentucky
• 21:15
  to some of these indoor meets that are just open because,
• 21:18
  yeah, transparently I just need to see grown people.
• 21:21
  Like y'all need to see what it's like when when you get there and
• 21:24
  you look lowly old freshman and you running against somebody
• 21:27
  that might be 2324 years old because they skipped the year
• 21:30
  or, you know, they had a red shirt from COVID or, you know,
• 21:34
  all the different ways in which, you know, the eligibility gets
• 21:38
  sliced. Like you need to see that
• 21:39
  because some of these folks are not playing like they are.
• 21:44
  They're trying to make a living. Listen, you can, you can the
• 21:48
  Alabama. We we go to Alabama for our
• 21:49
  indoor meets because we have to go unattached.
• 21:52
  We're only, we don't really have an indoor season in Georgia.
• 21:54
  So if you ever go to the the Birmingham complex, man, I'm
• 21:58
  going to tell you do you did there.
• 21:59
  Soon I've I've looked at it, I I I found it online.
• 22:04
  It's nice. I want to go.
• 22:05
  Smoke in the city over there man and I can we just now that the
• 22:09
  freshman girls that just came in this year for in Georgia are
• 22:14
  going to shake up the entire state.
• 22:16
  I can tell you right now, I don't know if you ever heard of
• 22:18
  Melanie Doggett. She ran 22 as an. 8th grader in
• 22:23
  the 200 of the most ridiculous. She's she's a freshman now at
• 22:27
  the high school level. So we get to see her.
• 22:29
  There are a couple of other girls out here that are running
• 22:32
  like 54 seconds in the open 400. Yeah, they, they're, they were
• 22:38
  just 8th graders and they're they're coming up.
• 22:40
  There's some girls that are jumping like nineteens 20s that
• 22:43
  I'm telling you man, it's some smoke down in the South.
• 22:47
  I got, I got a couple freshmen coming in.
• 22:50
  I'm I'm just just keep your eyes open.
• 22:53
  Because somebody's. Freshman coming in up here they
• 22:55
  they going. I have a freshman that I fully
• 22:58
  expect to break two or three of our school records before she
• 23:02
  finishes her sophomore year. So so it was good talking with
• 23:08
  you. I enjoyed being on here.
• 23:13
  Anybody in the Tract Tribe is always open to reaching out to
• 23:17
  me because I know I will be asking questions as well.
• 23:22
  I've trained in a lot of limited space and limited capacity
• 23:27
  environment. So if anybody wants to know like
• 23:31
  how to do XYZ 123, you know, but they only got this right.
• 23:36
  There's some things you can work with, you know, and I know
• 23:42
  coach, Coach Damon, I think his session is going to be over a
• 23:46
  large group training. So I'm going to tap into that as
• 23:48
  well because I would like to see how he does some things as well.
• 23:51
  So thank you for having me. Man, coach, I appreciate you.
• 23:55
  Thank you. Especially in these times and
• 23:56
  these circumstances. Man, I appreciate your
• 23:58
  commitment. I appreciate you being in the
• 23:59
  standing in the gap for these kids, man, You're an amazing man
• 24:03
  and I'm really grateful for you. I'm grateful that you're there
• 24:07
  helping those kids as well and just being the mentors that they
• 24:10
  need sometimes, being the father figures that they need, standing
• 24:14
  there with them, being empathetic and being a solid
• 24:17
  human being and being the example.
• 24:19
  We don't have a lot of that a lot of times.
• 24:21
  And so it it does mean the world, if to no one else, it
• 24:24
  means the world to me that I know that I've got a brother up
• 24:27
  in Indianapolis that is doing it right and consistently and with
• 24:33
  integrity. So I really appreciate you.
• 24:36
  And then also thank you to your wife who allowed us to borrow
• 24:40
  you for a brief time to share with us your great knowledge.
• 24:43
  So please thank her. If I have to send flowers, let
• 24:46
  me know to keep you out of the out of the doghouse.
• 24:51
  We appreciate you praying for your son that all is well and to
• 24:56
  continue healing. And the rest of your family is
• 24:58
  at peace with everything that is happening.
• 25:01
  And you know, we know things are going to go in a great way.
• 25:05
  We appreciate you. Next week we've or next Monday,
• 25:12
  we've got Coach Deadman too, so you just talked about that.
• 25:14
  We're going to be talking about simple systems and big results.
• 25:17
  And so he's going to talk about how he runs his entire program
• 25:22
  and how he keeps everything In Sync.
• 25:24
