• 2:15
  Speaker 1: not winning like for you?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: It just it just gives me an opportunity to focus

• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the little things will make big things happen and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: best and that separates the good from the grade. Just
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: how to approach those situations. And I feel like we

  Speaker 1: coming out y, how do you handle that?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: You know, it just starts from the preparation, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: attacking each day like you are starting. You know, so
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: even when I wasn't starting and I would approach each
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: day like I was, and I feel like that helps.
