• 6:57
  Speaker 1: for a living and yeah, you're right, but it can
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: be a lot and sometimes we forget how young they
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: are to yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. And then there's the Cambridge, the Australian Opals player
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: that you know, she plays over the NBA.
