  Speaker 1: You you are the ultimate boy dad.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just I have very little patients and I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I probably drive my kids nuts. I just have very
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: little patience. I'm good. If they told me today, like
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you know what, dad, Like, sports isn't our thing? Fine,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Like I don't need them to play sports. But if
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: we're gonna play sports, we're gonna play right, Like we're
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: not gonna like we're just not gonna participate and be
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: on the team and just be around. And what I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: do at practice is enough, but at home, I'm like more,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna be on this team, and you're gonna
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: say you want to be good, I don't know any
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: other way than just like, let's go be good. Like,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: let's go be as good as you can be, whatever
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that is. You don't need to be a star. But
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: like I don't do a lot of shit half assed.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of like my big message to them, Like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: all right, if you're gonna I always say, like if
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly, Like, if
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do it, let's do it. If you don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: want to do it, no problem, we'll go do something else.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Oh good.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But like if we're gonna be on the team and
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: we're gonna want to go to week long tournaments and
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: we want to go travel to here and try try
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: out for this, all right, if you want to do that,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I'll show you what that looks like. But it's a
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: lot of work.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Was that what your childhood was like?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It was your dad very similar that way. If you're
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: gonna do something, we're doing one hundred percent.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So my dad was my high school football coach, so
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: picture from nineteen. He started coaching in the late seventies.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Coach Ironhead Hayward coach. I mean he coached some real dudes,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: coached me and all my brothers. He coached at my
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: high school, public school in New Jersey, typical suburban public
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: high school from nineteen eighty five, the year I was
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: born until twenty thirteen. He was at our school that
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: we grew up going that we grew up and went to.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So picture traditional high school football coach, hard, intense, all
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that picture it. That was him, and we won a
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: shit ton of games. He won ten state titles. Like
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: we were good, but it was serious. Like we grew
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: up going to summer camps and we slept on the
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: floor of a dorm room in a sleeping bag, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: we were working camps and going. That was our summer vacations.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Like that's all we knew was football, locker rooms, water boy,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: ball boy. And then eventually grew up and played for him.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we there wasn't a whole lot of just
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: like casualness to our sports and journey as kids. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I know it's not for everybody, but obviously I'm thankful
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: for it because that's where I learned. That's where my
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: whole foundation was laid.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: And you're trying to lay this same foundation for your boys.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as long as they want to do it. Yeah, right,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: So like I have two boys.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: And did you have the same choice when you were
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: growing up.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we loved it. Like my dad did not have
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: to beg us to go throw the ball, to go run,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and we played everything. We played basketball, we played baseball
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: growing up. I did track in high school, basketball all
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: four years in high school. So it wasn't like today
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: where all right, eighth ninth grade, you're gonna be a
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: football player. You're just gonna do football for four years
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: like that. We didn't have that back when we were
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: growing up. So we played everything. But like he never
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: had to beg us. He never made us go to
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the gym. He never made us go out to the field.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Now when we went, it was hard, like looking back
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: what we were doing in eighth ninth grade relative to
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the times that we were in like it was it
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: was pretty intense. Like our weight room. We were lifting
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: with the high school kids, and it was four days
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: a week in the summer and it was hot and
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: it was sleep away camp and we were exposed to
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: that since we were in middle school. But he never
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: had a he never made us go. It was never
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: forced upon us. We loved it, but it was hard,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: and I'm thankful for that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Do you see the same thing with your kids? Do
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they love it?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Are they all about it?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I think they? I think they love it. I think
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: we live in very different times, right. I think we
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: live in very It's a very much more distracted world
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: of youth sports. I think it's a lot more highlight driven,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it's a lot more social media driven. I think there's
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: a lot more pressure on these kids because they know
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: every single kid, both around town and around the country now,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: who they are, what their names are, how hard they throw,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: how big they all, how t are they all, how
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: many home runs they've hit. It's all accessible. Growing up,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: you knew who the star was of your town. You
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: knew who maybe the town next to you because you
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: played against them in all your sports. That was it
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: until I went to Miami in high school. I didn't
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: for a summer camp. I didn't know what else was
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: out there. Like, all I knew was North Jersey sports,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and you know, lived in a very you know, kind
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: of little bubble. But then the kids now they're playing
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: in tournaments out of state. You know, they're going to Texas.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: We live in North Carolina. They're going to Texas, They've
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: been to Florida, Georgia, They've been all over and played
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: teams from all over the country. So there's this there's
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: a bigger scale of like what good looks like at
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: twelve years old, fourteen years old, and it's dangerous. It's
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: hard if you're not. My kids aren't the biggest kids.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: They're not the most physical kids. They're not the big
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: grown man at twelve. Like you go to some of
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: these events, your confidence can get shot pretty quick because
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: you look around and there's a twelve year old walks
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: in it looks like you and he's throwing eighty I'm serious.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Some of these kids are insane.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: We saw a picture the other day of some five
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: star War crews seventeen years old and he looks like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a forty five year old man. Yeah, and it's just like,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: what's in the water, what's going on? Because it just
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: seems like everyone's just getting bigger, stronger fast.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I just walk out of these baseball, basketball, whatever tournaments.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: We've done mostly baseball with the boys on like that level,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: and I'll be walking out and mind you, they're twelve,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: thirteen years old and I'm a fairly tall guy. I'm
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: walking out of these parks and I'm looking around and
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the twelve year old kid who just threw seventy five
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: on the mound, who's five eleven and dad's five nine.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: It's I don't know, there's something in the water. There's
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: something going on.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: PDEs hows this is going on.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Listen. I don't know what's going on, but there's something
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: going on because kids, I know everyone always says it
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: wasn't like this in my day, but it wasn't that
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: long ago. Kids did not look like they do now.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: To answer your question, they love it. I do think
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: like all kids, they get caught up and like, that's
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the best kid, he's the best kid. Oh, he got
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: selected to this event. He got selected to this fest.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Like I was telling me, it's not a race to twelve.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: But it's very hard to convince young kids that the
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: moment they're in right now doesn't define their athletic career forever.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And that's a battle right now, it's right, it's there,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: right now, and then they're making these kids to be superheroes.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: It that's our biggest struggle.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Has there ever been Has there ever been a struggle
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: for you for your kids being like, oh, my dad
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: did X, Y and Z with his career, and they
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: feel like they should live up to some sort of expectations.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I'm sure. And again, we live in Charlotte, which you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: obviously the bulk of my career, the bulk of my
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: six was there. I think if we lived in Nashville,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: it would be different. If we lived in where you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be different if we lived in a
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: city that I didn't play the bulk of my career.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: The vast majority of the people in the Carolinas know
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: me from my career, and yeah, when they come in
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: are there are people going that's all since kid. I
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: hope he strikes out, that's all. Since kid. He's not
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: that good. He is that good. That's his daughter. I'm sure.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Because they're comparing, they're comparing their kids versus your kids,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: my kids, kid, his dad was actually trust.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Me, they want to beat our teams. And I coach
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: a bunch of the kids sports. I coach each kid
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: for one season, and yeah, they want to beat us.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: There's no question. I'm aware of that. I make my
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: kids aware of that because I'm not going to shelter
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: them from that, Like, if you guys want to do
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: this a The competitive landscape of sports has never been
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: higher at the young age. It's just it's just the
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: nature of the world we live in, right, wrong, or indifferent.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: And when you're around here, especially some of these people
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: that they might not like me, they might whatever it is,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of people that are not rooting for
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: you to have success, and you've better be mentally strong
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: enough that that does not waiver anything you do. But again,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: they're young, they're in middle school. It's hard, they're very influent.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: It's a very unique world. But we don't get it
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: all right, But I teach my kids we're gonna compete
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: our ass off, and we're gonna do all the work
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: humanly possible in between your competitions to give yourself the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: utmost chance to have success. Whatever the result is from there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Great you hit three home runs, Great you strike out
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: five times. Did you do the work and compete your
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: ass off and go out and battle. If you did that,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: we'll fix the rest. But the second you stop competing,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the second you stop putting the work in, the second
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: you start feeling sorry. That's the part I don't. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: don't have a lot of patience for that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And you're saying that they're learning about these kids
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: from other states and everything else just through like social media, Yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: which is true. It's like growing up playing travel baseball,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't necessarily know, like you're still coming across like
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: kids you were throwing seventy plus, but you wouldn't see
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: until the're warming up on the mount, like, oh, fuck,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: this guy's pretty good.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: You know the second the games come out. You know
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a Will Compton he plays for the Oshkosh select Fit
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Boom Boom Elite National. I hope he doesn't pitch because
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Taylor he throws eight. Oh. They know every kid on
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: every team, whether they're from California, North Carolina, that doesn't matter.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: That's crazy concept to like wrap your mind around, because.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Like because games can go on and lost, like just
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: before start.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Because growing up as like baseball, like baseball, basketball, football,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: like you kind of just showed up and played, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you hear about like the kids that were really good
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: at baseball, they would start going to the camp suit
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and things like hockey. My dad grewup in a Diyna, Minnesota,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and my brother got really good at hockey. So at
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a young age, it was like, we need to go
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to all these travel events, do all those travel things.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And for me it was like, yeah, just keep playing
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: sports and get a scholarship.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: If not, like it is, it is what it is.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Football is a little different.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Football is a little different. It's kind of like because
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, until kids hit puberty and like kind of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: understand what they are and who they are. It's like
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it's that you'll find out who you are in the future.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: With that Baseball, it seems like guys are getting figured
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: out quickly. Basketball seems that way. Hockey for sure, Like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it's crazy to me that kids go to a billet family. Like, oh,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you're fourteen years old, do you have an opportunity to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: be make it in hockey? Are you're going to move
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: up north to Michigan or Minnesota and you're gonna go
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: live with a different family you don't know, so you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: have a better opportunity to do this.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The culture, Yeah, the culture of hockey is very unique.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: That's the most. I don't know a lot about it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: We haven't been hockey family, but it's definitely the most intense,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: the most that kind of track almost more like Olympic,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: like Olympic sports where these young tennis stars, these prodigies
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: in golf, tennis. You know, these young girls go live
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: at IMG at fourteen and there's these academies around the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: world for tennis and golf and all that. Almost gymnastics
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: is kind of like that. Hockey fits in that. That's
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: what's so cool about football though, Like so on the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: other side of the coin, we coach our kids, both
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: my boys, on our middle school football team and it's
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: just our school, seventh and eighth grade kids at our school.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: We got fifty some odd kids that come out for
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: the team and we represent our school like it's easy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: It's what we It's what I remember growing up. There
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: was no get this kid from here, get this kid
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: from here, had a ball. But whoever showed up players,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: whoever's on your school and comes out for the team,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: that's your team, and you just coaches shit out of
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: them and see how good you can get.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: It feels like on a national From a national standpoint, though,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it is kind of shifting a little bit because you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: brought up IMG and these like bigger schools that are
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: essentially recruiting guys. We have J C. Tretder Jase Latham,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Jace Latham on and he was in Wisconsin
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: right and he was kind of doing whatever, and they
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: recruited him to go down to IMG and that's where
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: all the four and five star kids go. And that's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: just it seems like that's starting to go that way.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: It's getting football. It's getting younger and younger and younger.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: That used to not happen till you were junior in
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: high school. Now it's happening as a rising ninth grader.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And now it's going to move even younger now to
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: middle school. Kids are going to relocate. The thing that's
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: unique about football is seven on seven is kind of
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: taking over that travel baseball, travel basketball AAE circuit where
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: it is more it's not school dominated, it's true travel
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: ball collect as many good kids make your whatever seven
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: on seven team and then go around to all these
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: events that more of the AAU circuit, the eybl And
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and you know, travel basket baseball and all that. The
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: wholesomeness though, of school sports is still the strongest in football.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: That's where kids really get recruited. That's where colleges still
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: know your high school coach. The other sports are losing
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: that a little bit, and I don't necessarily love it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I think there's something special about playing for your town,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: your school with your buddies Friday night. You can't it's
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: hard to describe to a kid nowadays what that looks like.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: But like, I don't know how you guys feel, but like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: looking back on that, the highlight of my entire football journey,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I had really fun times, great guys, Like, there's something
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: cool playing with your buddies at your school Friday night,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: in front of your town and going to try to
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: beat the town next door to you that you grew
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: up playing against. Those kids. Like I don't know, man,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I just don't think you ever beat that?
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Do you care? Not be?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, just put on ca Is the Boys of Fault.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: That doesn't get you fired up? He got juiced just
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the purity of the game. Like you don't know that
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: a monster energy drink is bad for you, but you're
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: going to.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Go to the gas station with you don't know. Yeah,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: if I take one of these, I'm gonna have some
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: more juice before the game. Oh what's getting your ankle stape?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: That seems like I don't know if I should that
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: seems kind of cool you watch Friday Night Lights, Like, right,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: the purity of the game in high school football, there's
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: just there's.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Nothing like playing being able to play, be lucky enough
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to play every level of the game of football. The
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: fact that high school is the best in our minds
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: is great because everybody, every kid can go and play
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: high school football and feel that Friday night Lights.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, where you you.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Kind of feel like you're the main event. And if
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you're lucky enough to grow up in a smaller town there,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you cannot fucking beat it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Dude.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Like we my sophomore year of high school, just a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: bunch of gritty white kids. We go fifteen to O
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and go to State Down in Phoenix, and the town
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: itself put up little signs a closed.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: For Stated Down like the movies.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It's that's just it's amazing, and you feel like for
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that moment, you're like, we are the main attractions.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: When you're like you're you're you're obviously extremely motivated in
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: college and when you play in the NFL and professional ball,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: but when you're when you're in high school, like I
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: feel like it's when you're just the most inspired. You
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: know nothing about the business side of everything. You know
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: nothing about any of the bureaucracies that go on with
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: depth charts or any of that stuff. At the highest
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: level in college, like high school, it's like you are
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: just the most inspired by players. You want to be
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: like players, you want to emulate, just living the dream
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: in your head a little bit on a Friday night.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: It is. It is the best.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And you got even more pureform because like those rivals
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: in twenty four seven, where those.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Are just starting, just starting, so it wasn't I was
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: in its infancy of like rankings and player rankings and
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: stars and all that. I was just starting when I
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: was in high school.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Because I remember going to like twenty four to seven. Yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and after every game, we didn't get a statute ourselves.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So I would like wait for that to load up
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to get how many tackles did I really get? I
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: feel like I got eight and it'd be like three,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Like okay, I can see how they got there, you know.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I felt like that's a pile. I was a big
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: pile jumper, big pile jumper. I got the assist there boys,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: you're welcome.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: And out the guy that's doing the PA announcing, he
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: just found the closest number he can find. He's just
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: saying your name all day.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: You're a hero, right exactly one on the tech.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: But we're losing that, like talk about IMG and and
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: those academies. That's one thing. There's public high schools all
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: around the country that kids are going to four different
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: schools in four years. There's public schools that're they're getting
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: apartment buildings down the street and you can just move in,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: write your new address on and you go to a
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: new school like that. Florida's got school choice. You can
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: transfer free of charge, go to any school within your
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: county and not have to know the need to live there.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Like it's it's the wild West right now.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: When I when I was in high school, I was
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I was in a small town, right we I told
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you the state things. Sophomore The next year we go
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: like three and seven. We were really bad, and we
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: played a school in Scottsdale, Arizona, and one of the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: coaches coach me and Papa Warner, and he's, hey, Taylor,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: he's got the frame for being off. It's a line
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and they kind of start doing the little recruiting thing.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So all my dad did was go get an apartment
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that was a block away, and now you're in the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: district and I was. I started school like before the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: end of my junior year.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: You were ahead of the times, ahead.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Of the times. Man, the best decision I ever made.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I was heartbroken to leave my boys though, because that's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what's all about. Friday we had one dairy queen. And
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: then because the Cave Creek, Arizona, like they don't allow
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: any franchises, but like in the eighties, they're like, hey,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: well allow dairy queen. That was a big deal for
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the town. So Fridays before games, we will go smack
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: a blizzard before game, go play, thinking like, yeah, we're
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: juiced opping. Yeah, I'm starting to get my cows up.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: That's all I care about is you have a little
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: more weight on handle this double team a little bit
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: better now. And then after that, it's like, who's got
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a fake ID? Who's that's it? Right there?
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Catching a cramp at the after party because you played
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: so much.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Exactly yeah, and you're like, soe, soone parents are out
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of town. Yeah, someone's parents are out of town, and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: so they got a couple of racks of bud light
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna get there and like I'm gonna hopefully
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: get three beers in me and be like this is.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: This is what where does life go from here?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: It does? It?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Just babies and memories after that?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Lots of them, Yeah, I got lots of them.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Headstrong on the bus.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: The music, high school, locker room music. I think every
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: high school in America for the most part, listened to
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: the same like six songs.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean the amount of times you hear
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a thunderstruck.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: But every time you sitting there like.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Ah, like I wasn't like in high school, I don't
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: know you Like in high school, like we all like
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: were in our rap phase where like everyone loved rap
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: music and biggie like that was our era. But in
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: a locker room, like it didn't matter who was in
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the locker room. Like there was something about rock music
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: in pregame. You wouldn't listen to that song in a
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: million years. But if you're if you're spatting up, did
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: you guys used to get to the games early because
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: you wanted to change your cleats? Like did you guys
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: have screwing cleats?
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Nope? I had.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I had Nike Sharks and you could actually take so
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the Nike Swish. You could had like little colors and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: you could pull out the color put it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: You guys are so much younger than me, dude. The
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: highlight of high school football was we were able to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: finally use detachable cleats. Like you'd go so like go
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: before the game, meet all the other buddies and the team.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: We were gonna get there early. I got to put
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: in new cleats. My dad would buy like boxes of
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: just detachable cleats, so like only the seniors could get
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: like fresh ones. And you made the freshmen they they
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: were down to like their nubs. You can see the
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: men coming through. But man, you sit there with those
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: little keys, you change your spikes. The spikes were this big,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: and you'd walk around like the tile locker rooms and school.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: It was like, dude, thunder is the best, Like you.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Got that one that one coach on the staff that

• 21:30
  Speaker 3: about is that guy number four the main Yeah, my
• 21:34

• 21:37
  Speaker 3: find it. My shoulder pads in high school were bigger
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: than my shoulder pads in the NFL. And it's not
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: even that's for most guys. I had to be Yeah,

  Speaker 3: After we won our first state championship. That's my senior year,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: big first one we had lost. He had lost seven.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: No way, finally won my seven state titles. My older
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: brother Chris, who was one grade ahead of me, freshman, sophomore, junior,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: senior year, he played in four state championships. They lost
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: all four of them.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: My dad had won state championships at his previous school,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: but that was his first state championship at our school.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: That was my younger brother. He played. He played quarterback
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: at Miami. He was nasty. Both my brothers were quarterbacks
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: and uh I got the tight end ging Fuck, that
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: is awesome.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Your dad was your dad one of those guys where
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: you're always searching for the proud of you comment? Or
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: was he was? He pretty vocal emotionally with you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: No, he's he was pretty quick to tell us he
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: knew we were good. His balance was immediately after the game,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: We're gonna focus on all the things you didn't do well,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: and then like an hour or two later, it was
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: gonna be like, you guys are pretty good. Like you guys,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: would you guys played your ass off like so he
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: was going to coach first and fix all the mistakes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: You you want to hear a great story about my dad.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: This sums up my dad. So twenty sixteen, we have
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Monday Night football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cam had
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: gotten hurt the previous week. So Derek Anderson's the quarterback.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: If Derek Anderson played quarterback, he was gonna throw every
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: single pass of the game to me Like that was
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: it was just understood. It was the best I got
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: him for, however, six quarters of my life, and he
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: would throw every ball to me. So we go to
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Monday Night football. There's my dad right there. We go
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: to Monday Night football. I have one hundred and eighty
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: five yards on Monday Night Football. We lost, but I
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: had one hundred and eighty something yards. We walked into
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: like the little family section in the lobby outside inside
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the stadium, Like you know, I say to my wife
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and my kids and my mom and Dad and everybody,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: And in the late in the in the mid of
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, we ran like a like a corner
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: route to the boundary and it was a good ball
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: and it was one of those like catch and the
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: guy kind of rakes you like I got turned inside.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: He was on my back and I got turned inside,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: which like made my chest to the defender. Caught it
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: and as I was going to the ground, he kind
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: of raked me, like raked the ball down. Yeah, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I lost it. It was incomplete on third down, so
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: we punt. We end up losing. The game was a
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: close on hun in eighty one. Yeah, seventeen fourteen targets,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: thirteen targets. So I walk in, you know, that's the
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: best game I've ever had in my life. Dad gives
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: me a hug, say, hey, what happened on that third
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: down in the fourth quarter. I was like, I probably
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: should have caught it, yeah, you know what I mean, Like,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: and he wasn't saying it. He was not the guy
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: that was like dogging like he said it sincerely, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: like that's just how we grew up. Like, and I
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, like I probably should have caught it,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Like that probably would have helped. We would converted on
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: third down and who knows that we would have scored,
• 25:34

  Speaker 3: our combo rules and first play of the game is
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: going to be whatever, and let's get off to a

• 29:10
  Speaker 3: the bus driver just went completely in a full circle
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: and we're back where we started. We end up being
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: thirty minutes late to our game. Me and Luke are sweating.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Parents are texting us where are the kids? They're waiting
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: for us, and Luke and I keep coming in late
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: with the boys because the bus driver got lost.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: He got lost in his joe back.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, none of us were talking, none of us were
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: paying attention because we're all doing a million things and
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: we did a full circle and we're back at school.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: He's just thinking, I don't know whereins just gonna drove back.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: You think he'd look back at one point, but like
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: also got address twivet your phone.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: It was and plug it in. Yeah it was. Uh,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: it was close to the best. Like that's the best
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: part of all of it.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean those kids have no idea how good
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: they happened.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Right so far, You guys went seven and one.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Last we lost the first game of the season to
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: a good team. We lost the first game of the season,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: and then we rattled.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Off and then you did look back.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: No, we we got better as the year went on.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: You only had like thirty kids on the team last year.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: We got like fifty something this year. All right, the
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: energy is building. But we had a really good group
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: of eighth graders. They just hadn't played a lot of
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: football before, like a lot of first time kids. We're
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: teaching kids how to put helmets on, how to buckle
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: chin straps, how to put you know, how do you
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: do the clip on your shoulder pad? Like we part
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: of our practice was like that. Like we we had
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of kids, they just they didn't know what
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: they didn't know.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, understanding how to get dressed is something that nobody
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: ever talks to you about I played one year. I
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: played Papa when I was a corner third grade nice
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: and I didn't play again until my freshman year. But
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I remember going to my freshman locker room. All the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: kids are like getting dressed and I'm watching them. Okay,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a hip pad. I'll put that on
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: my Oh yeah, I had like I was like watching
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the kids on.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: The last It used to be to put the pads
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: in your.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Pants, and then you get to college and you find
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the shorts that have them built in, and you might
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: be a little bit for that. You might have been
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: playing in college with them. Things were girdles with our
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: hip in our butt pad and then our pants.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: We would put the thigh pads in our pants. Yes,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: that's what we used to do. Now all of the
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: pads are all built into the girdle, so they put
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: on it. They pull up a girdle thigh hip but
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: all that and then they just put knee pads in
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: their pants and that's what the kids wear now. So
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: it's actually pretty easy, isn't it wild?
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: That?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Like when you're in high school, it's how big can
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I look?
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: How like the biggest thigh pad the biggest pads. But
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the older you get, it's like, how tiny can I
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: make these pads just because so I can be bigger.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: It's it's crazy how much changes.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: It's it's so true. It's the best. Though there's nothing
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Tell me there are any moments you still get a
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: little bull in the ring in we don't Oklahoma drills.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you. It's a good question.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: We don't do bowl in the ring.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: We can't.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: We don't do Oklahoma eye opener. You remember eye opener.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: We're like one guy would go sideway and you would
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: shuffle and it was cones and I'd pick a lane
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: and we'd go yeah, and like you're standing in the back.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Never did that, but like the ball carrier would run sideways.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: You would shuffle, pick the hole and then once I
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: picked a hole, you're going, I would go through. So
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: we did that growing up. And you'd be in the
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: line and you're like two three four, and you're like
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: letting the kid go in front of you. He's like
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: the badass kid on your team is the fourth and
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: you're like two three ship, I'm four. I'm not going
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: with Taylor, all right, Will's you know what I mean,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: like you're doing the math in your head, like there
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: was a like you learned a lot of ship at
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: football practice when we were growing up, Like that was
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: your mom and dads.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: You were.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: And if that coach he didn't give two ships, he
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: could have run you until you died, Like no one cared. Yeah,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: we we can't. We can't do that anymore.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Parents are there.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the parents.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Pursuit drill where you know we do. You got a
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: runner going, you got low pursuit, you got high pursuit.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: It's like two on one.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: We do a lot of We do a ton of
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: pursuit drill. We had a kid actually break his nose
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: bumping in first practice last week in the summer. No pads,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: but we just tag off and we teach in and
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: out out set and edges. You know, who are inside
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: hit man, who are our forced perimeter players, Like get
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: them run into the ball. We do d line. They
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: go through their little station and then run to the ball.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Second level secondary backside guy run corner. Like that's our
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: first drill we do on defensive day. But we just
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: tag off. We we do a lot of teaching progressions
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: of tackling, striking. We always talk like we're gonna hit
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: guys with the screws of our helmet, Like the helmets
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: don't have screws anymore, but like that's how we learned it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Like you hit the guy with the screws of your
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: face mask, face up. So like we do a lot
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: of that all summer. We do controlled contact in practice,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: like we do a ton of like two on one
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: combo blocks. We call them bazookas, like a ton of
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: hip to hip bazuka like combo taking on strikes. We
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: don't go to the ground. We don't like just keep
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: it thud. We keep it thud. You teach football, we
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: keep it thud. And then in the game obviously we
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: our goal with the kids, and we don't shy away
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: from this, like are We tell the kids all the time,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: we're gonna fix You're gonna take the wrong foot, you're
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: gonna have a backside cutoff, and you're gonna cross over,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: and your stance. We're gonna have to fix your all.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: That will coach when you come play our team, our
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: goal is when you're sitting in the stands on the
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: other team, it's like I'm not sure if I want
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: my kid out there. This is fast, it's violent. They're
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: playing to the ball, and I'm talking within the confines.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: We don't like no dirty stuff, Like we don't tea.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: We have no patience in tolerance for any of the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: extra stuff. We finished though, but we are playing. We

• 37:05
  Speaker 3: ball if the ball gets outside the numbers on a
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: high school, field like somebody really screwed. Up everything we
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: do is perimeter. Edges squeeze this, field and we're gonna
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: make them play as tight as they can and when
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: that ball hits, vertical we are we are coming in
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: hot like we are coming in striking inside hips and
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: running through so we'll. Overrun we'll have bad pre snap,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: technique we'll have false. Steps our lineman won't get off
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: on the. Ball we'll jump off sides like that. Normal

• 42:11
  Speaker 4: beholding the. Ball you beholding the, ball and you'd be
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: going around the. Squad this is when we're, like like
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: you tag and they you take, off. Sprint old buddy gets,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: up sprints the other way and you just.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Collide, Me you just.

• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Done that's.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Why that's how you don't laugh with the same roster
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: at the end of the.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Year there's a lot of basketball players made it football.
• 42:37

• 42:53
  Speaker 4: Two, yeah and your.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Time how we handling.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: That our APPROACHES i over community and maybe to a.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Fault SOMETIMES i don't do the regardless of the, sport,
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Right so you think growing up in, baseball after the,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: game the coach takes the team out in deep left
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: field and it's just the coach and the. Kids and
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: then you get in the car with your kid and you're, like,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: hey what coach. Say it's like they're, twelve they don't
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: know what just happened five seconds. Ago let alone relay
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: an adults message good or, bad and relay it so,
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: LIKE i never want the parents to be dependent on
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: the kids to know What i'm saying to their. Kids
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: so we do our post game stuff right there behind the.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: DUGOUT i want everyone to. COME i want people to
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: come to our. PRACTICE i want parents to sit in the.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: STANDS i want people to know what we're saying to your.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Kid we would say in front of, you like there's
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: no secrets. Here there's No i'm going to tell your
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: kid one, thing but Then i'm going to say something
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: else to the. Parent like we are very transparent in
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: what we, do how we. Coach we don't apologize for.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: It like we are going to pour in so much
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: of our time and energy into your kids because we like.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: It if you have a, problem not everyone's gonna like
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: what we. Do you might not like the position your kid,
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: plays or how much he, plays or as they get,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: older obviously playing time is a little bit. Different at
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: the young, age everybody plays like we, don't like we
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: were not in the business to play eight kids and
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: five of them stand on the, sideline you, know sitting the.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Dugout so we get everyone involved to the best of
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: our ability and give everybody a. Role i'm very clear
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: that if a parent wants to call me and he
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: wants to talk through, LIKE i have no problem with.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: That you're the. Parent they're too young to remove the
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: parent from the. Process, now IF i was their high
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: school coach, College i'm not going to answer to your
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: mom about what we're. Doing like that's just not the.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Business but at the young, age you have to engage the.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: FAMILIES i want my kids coaches to communicate with. Me
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: where does my kid need to get, better where's he falling,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: short where's he doing? Well what's his? Role? LIKE i
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: would love to know, that because WHEN i ask my,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: kid they don't, know so like there's a miscommunicat there's
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: a communication barrier. There SO i have no problem with

• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: there was no, practicing there was no going out in the, driveway,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: like she had no. Interest so it was pretty much
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: just the boys that were our sports. Experiences about two years,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: ago she played for a little school basketball, team took
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: a liking to, basketball started going out and like venturing

• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: yeah not that she's, winning not that she's the best or,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: anything but like ALL i would say is for the
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: girls sometimes the competitive side, doesn't at least in my.

  Speaker 3: Sure i'm naming all these come from, Anyway so like
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: they came down. Here he's like a great track and field,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: coach like that's his. Specialty trained Annaholl and McCaffrey and
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: all these people From. Colorado he moved To nashville within
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: the last couple of, months so like they're. There she's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: there doing a hurdle workout with, him learning how to run,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: hurdles and they're gonna do a speed, day so like
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: she'll work.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: Now LIKE a think a lot of it, too with
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: like young kids has got to be just feeling, confident
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: like maybe they're a little. Insecure they kind of shy
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: away from maybe doing a sport because they don't know
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: if they're good at it. YET i just like the idea.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: Too it's like when you get just getting kids obviously
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: involved in, sports but you have something that you were
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: committed to, doing a place that you have to be
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: a place to show, up how you show up for the,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: world like how to stay you, know start getting in
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: those areas of like discipline and everything, else and it's, like,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: hey if you don't like doing it, afterwards we might
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: find something else to do for you during that. Season
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: it could be, anything doesn't have to be, sports but
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: something that you can commit yourself to because at some
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: point you're gonna have to. Start you're gonna have to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: start doing. That like when you go to school and
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: you're committed to your grades or you're committed to whatever,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: whatever things are going.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: To be totally agree and and again we all just know,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: sports so that's like the only AVENUE i know to
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: teach those lessons.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: Now but we have the best.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: Lessons it's again we're.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: Bias we.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: Haven't been exposed to the, arts to, music to LIKE
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: i wasn't exposed to. IT i think a lot of
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: people have great experiences doing, that AND i think that's.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: WONDERFUL i don't know that. WORLD i didn't grow up
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: in that. World so obviously our life experiences to our
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: kids are going to be things that we're comfortable with
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: to be recognized because we got the values out of.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: It so like our model with that is like we're
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: not trying to do all this to become professional. Athletes
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: if we were all trying to have our kids play
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: sports to be professional, athletes we should all just. Stop
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: if that's the, goal you're wasting your. Time you better
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: spending your time and energy doing other. Things it's all
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: the other. Ship being, accountable being on, time doing something
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: for other, People having an authority figure that maybe you
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: don't like or you don't think's giving you the fair
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: end of the, deal.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: And it's not your parents and they're trying To it's
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: different when you have a different authority. Figure i'm kind
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: of coaching you up and you're totally you're not gonna
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: talk crazy in front of where else are you getting? That,

• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: like for twenty? Years no one. Knows but that's my
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: approach towards all of.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: IT i love, it, dude are very very last. Question
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: you know people would do anything for a bud? Light
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: what would you do anything? For you can't say. FAMILY
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: i feel like if he did say, family he'd have
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: a very good. Answer if you wanted to go that.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: Route doesn't have To.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: YEAH i mean, FAMILY i think is probably at the
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: top of everybody's, list right like, you you would go
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: to the end of the earth for your. Kids and you,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: know for as much as sometimes they aggravate you and
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: they frustrate, you and you know they don't want to,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: listen at the end of the, day when you take
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: a step, back, man that's what all of it's, about,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: Right it's about your family and your wife and your
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: kids and giving them a better giving them a better
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: opportunity than maybe you, had and paying it, forward and you,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: know hopefully they go on to make great impactful. Lives
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: LIKE i think that'd be everyone's cliche, answer even though
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: it's the. TRUTH i MEAN i, PROFESSIONALLY i would probably
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: give anything to go back and be able to replay
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: Our Super. Bowl so twenty, fifteen we were seventeen and.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: One we won fifteen regular season, games were we, ran we.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: Had we had a tight game in the divisional round Against.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: Seattle we were up thirty to nothing at, halftime ended
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: up having to recover an on sitees. Kick we didn't
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: score in the second. Half Russell wilson almost brought them
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: back and beat. Us we. Won we blew the doors Off.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: Arizona we scored forty five points in THE Nfc championship. Game,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: SO i mean we had scored almost ninety points collectively
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: between the divisional and it's a great. PICTURE i looked
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: thrilled in the, back.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 4: You.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: Know SO i look back on that season and there's
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: a little, like, wait that was a wasted, moment right
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: like we we were on the cusp of a history
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: of the most wins ever for A Super bowl team
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: IN nfl. History we would have been. Eighteen we would
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: have been eighteen and Won Super bowl. Champs no team
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: had ever won eighteen games and won The Super. Bowl
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: and we were the best offense in, football and we
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: shipped down our Leg we were. Terrible we turned the
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: ball over a, Bunch we didn't. SCORE i think we
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: scored ten. Points we were averaging thirty two a. Game
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: we scored four seven Against who was the next best
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: team record wise Was arizona that. YEAR i think they
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: won thirteen. Games we beat him forty five to. SEVENTEEN i,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: mean it was a bloodbath in THE Nfc. Championship but
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: as you guys, know you get one. Shot it's not
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: best to, five it's not best to. SEVEN i would
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: give anything not to win The Super, bowl like go
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: back and just play it one more time and maybe
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: we would have lost. AGAIN i don't. Know they were damn.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: Good denver was.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Good knowing your your mind frame about like, effort, finishing
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: like we, like if you're not gonna do, that you're
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: not gonna play for My papa warrant. Team, Yeah we'll
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: go through your. Mind when you See Cam newton double
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: clutch on that, fumble.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: You, KNOW i think to the outside, world AND i
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: mean this, sincerely this is not me covering For. Cam
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: of every Guy i've ever played. With if there was
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: ever a guy that you did not have to question his,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: physicality his, toughness his, competitiveness it Was cam that. Is
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: and that is not a cliche cover for. Him like
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: if he if he pulled up in the moment for
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: that ball and he's talked about, it he's, like, man
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: IF i could go, back that's Probably i've heard him
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: talk about on his, Podcast like in the, moment that
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: was Not i'm scared to go get, Hit i'm scared
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: to go dive down on the. Ball there, was as
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: we all have been there in, time your reaction to
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: what you see in the moment and feel and you're
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: it's hard to really even quantify what you.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: Do you.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: React for ten, YEARS i watched that guy put his
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: life on his, body his, life his career on the,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: line in big, moments in meaningful, games In wednesday, practice
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: in training, camp all between. There if there's one people
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: want to knock him for a lot of, things find
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: you cannot knock him for not being, competitive for not being,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: tough and when it came time to going out there to,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: play that dude played his ass off every.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: Day he was unbelievable every. Day you wish you would
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: have said he would have traded in HIS mvp for
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: A Super. Bowl that's a.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Long conversation but short, Answers, YEAH.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: I would rather he Traded. NO I, again there's always
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: context With cam and those of us that have spent
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of time with him always can view the
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: things that he says that maybe to the outside, scene
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: but we're viewing it through a lens of ten years
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: now fifteen years of being around him and really knowing him,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: intimately how how he, thinks how he, responds how he body.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: Language all of. It like we have a very keen
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: idea of his good, days is not like we really
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: understood what made him tick and and he was the
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: pulse of the. Team he was, that he was the
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: center of the locker. Room he was everything everyone saw
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: from the outside that was genuine like he was like.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: That he would run for a touchdown on the last
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: play of inside run period on A wednesday And week,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: sixteen we would have to make any quarterback pole play
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: the last play of the period because if we were
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: running it from the say the minus, thirty and that
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: was just where the was, marked he would run seventy
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: yards to the goal line and he would put the
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: ball on top of the fence like he, scored and
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: it was like him handing the ball to the stands
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: like he was his touchdown. Thing he did that in
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: practice one hundred percent of the time for ten. Years
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: we would have to change the script and make sure
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: that any play he would have the ball was the last,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: play because if it was play, three we'd have to
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: wait for him to run seventy yards back and call
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: the next play in the. Huddle so he when he
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: was running, back the defense would go and we were
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: off the field and the defense would do their, period
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: and by the time he came, back it was time
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: for seven on seven or whatever the period, was, like
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: that was every single. Day so when he talks ABOUT
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: mvp versus winning The Super, BOWL i think the point
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: he's trying to lay out was he took such great
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: pride in the season he had that, year WINNING mvp
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: on clearly the best team up until The Super, bowl
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: versus there's a lot of guys that have won Super
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: bowls but didn't have nearly the level of impact that he.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: Had as the reason you want there's a lot of
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: guys who have Super bowl rings and we're on Super
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: bowl winning. Teams but that in his, again his message
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: was that's a big difference BETWEEN i won our team
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: a Super. BOWL i was one of the big factors
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: of winning our team a Super, bowl, right wrong or?
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: INDIFFERENT i think that's the lens that he was trying
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: to present that. By but LIKE i think we all
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: would be, like, Hey, cam we love you to the
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: end of the, earth but if we could have won
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: a Super, Bowl, like you're gonna have to take that
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: one for the.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: TEAM i love you and.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: You're my guy. Forever but like you're, LIKE i.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Lose Super, Bowl, yeah let's just take.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: That yeah we have that and you're still. Great, yeah
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: you're still, great but uh, yeah, man it's uh so,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: yeah that would probably be that was tough like we
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: and we never could find it. Again you, know we
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: had almost the same exact team in twenty sixteen AND
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: i think we won six. Games.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah you hear about year about guys that are young
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: that make the playoffs early and they kind of like
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: lose the division round or losing the championship, round and
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: older guys are, like just so you, know it doesn't
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: always go like. This you never know until you, know
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: because we were in, nineteen we went to THE Afc.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: Championship we had essentially the same guys.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: HERE i do love.
• 1:19:09
