Speaker 6: Thank you so much. It's good to be here.

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Wow.

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 7: What take me through the last sequence of events from

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 7: lining up a fifty eight to fifty nine yarder to

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 7: getting another chance at forty five and the way that

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 7: game is playing out at the end.

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: What are you thinking about there? What's going through your mind?

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it starts on the sideline, just staying as

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: calm as possible and not trying to think about that

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 4: being a big moment, but just treating it like another

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 4: kick and going through my pre pre kick process.

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 6: Get out there for the sixty.

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: Yarder, and you know, gave it a good effort that

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: you know, the flag came out, there was some chaos there,

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: and it's about the mental reset, you know, just getting

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: ready for the next kick. Gotta flush everything in the

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: past and move on. And was able to do that

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: and ultimate trust and Luke Rego to get the job

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 4: done and the rest of the guys to protect up front,

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: and then saw it go through at the end of

45
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: the day and it was a real big blessing.

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Spencer.

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: Congrats and thanks for the time early on this Monday morning.

48
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: Your last game winning kick was win.

49
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 6: Last year Kansas City Chiefs.

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: That's right when you and you kicked for them for

51
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: one game?

52
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: Is that right? Or multiple games?

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 6: Two games? First game was in Buffalo and the second.

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: Game was against the Panthers in Carolina?

55
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Okay?

56
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: And then did they did they carry you off the

57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 3: field with the Chiefs like they did yesterday? I thought

58
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 3: they were going to carry you all the way home.

59
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 6: No.

60
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: I think that was like the second or third game

61
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: winning kick for the Chiefs that year. It wasn't quite

62
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: as exciting as yesterday. Yesterday was definitely a lot lot

63
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: cooler getting carried off the field like that.

64
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 8: Well, I will say this Spencer had a chance to

65
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 8: talk to in the locker room after the game, and

66
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 8: you were telling us about your faith and how much

67
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 8: that means to you.

68
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: But I've watched a lot of sports.

69
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 8: God wears a lot of different jerseys sometimes, So for

70
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 8: your appreciative that you got a little bit of good

71
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 8: fortune there at the end, and in all serious is

72
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 8: how does that kind of shape how you go about

73
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 8: your business?

74
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 6: Oh? No doubt, And I think that's well said.

75
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: I think you got to have faith through the highest

76
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: end the lows, and so I prepared myself before, and

77
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 4: I knew that God loved me no matter what if

78
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: I made the kick or not. But I know that

79
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: He wants me to succeed and that He already gave

80
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: me the ability to go out there and perform at

81
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: a high level, and so I had confidence in that.

82
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: And so just getting to share that moment with the

83
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 4: team rely on your faith in that instances is a

84
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: really big deal and it kind of sets up some

85
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: momento moving forward, and just really excited that we were

86
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: able to get a team win like that and everyone's celebrating.

87
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 8: And again, I know God loves you, but you know,

88
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 8: the teammates. As I'm watching the postgame interview, obviously, we

89
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 8: were all surrounding you after the game, probably the most

90
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 8: cameras you've seen at the NFL level as far as

91
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 8: you know, post game startdom goes. What was it like

92
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 8: to have you know, so many of your guys interrupted

93
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 8: that interview and show you some love because I couldn't

94
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 8: keep track of how many guys were trying to, you know,

95
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 8: make some noises and gets your attention or show you

96
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 8: some love that typically you know doesn't always come. The

97
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 8: kickers a way.

98
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I know, that's so special. And I think it

99
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: points to how special this team is. We just have

100
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: a great culture here, is very family oriented and.

101
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 6: Everyone cares for each other. And you know, the success of.

102
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 4: One comes the heart from the hard work of many.

103
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: And so it's just me doing my part at the

104
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: end of the day, and those guys are fighting the

105
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 4: whole game. You know, they're trying to make plays on

106
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: offense and defense, and so everybody's excited, you know when

107
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: I do well at the end of the game. But

108
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 4: it's a complete team effort to get to that point.

109
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 4: And you got to love each other and you got

110
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: to trust each other to get to that point. And

111
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: I think that's what came out as so evident. You know,

112
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: in the interviews after the game.

113
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 7: Talking to the game winner, the kicker, Spencer Schrader, who's

114
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 7: had a terrific start to his Cult's.

115
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: Career here and all through training camp.

116
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 7: But you know, there's questions, there's competition coming in and

117
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 7: you just kept doing your thing and doing your thing.

118
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 7: Has your confidence ever waivered or does it grow through.

119
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: The things like training camp?

120
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think your confidence definitely grows through training camp.

121
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: I think it's finding the balance between confidence and humility.

122
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: Knowing that there's always something to work on and there's

123
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: always something to improve on. But I think it's impossible

124
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: to function at a high level if you're not confident

125
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 4: in yourself. But you have to have internal confidence and

126
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 4: self belief to perform.

127
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 6: But you also have to.

128
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: Have the humility to know that you're very far from

129
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 4: perfect and there's a ton of ways that you can improve.

130
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: And so I try to just approach it on a

131
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: day by day basis and see how can I get

132
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: better today? Where can I improve? And then when it

133
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 4: comes to kicking on Sundays, it's a game by game basis,

134
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: you know, just trying to perform for my team that

135
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: day and then approaching the next week right to put

136
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: myself in a position where I can succeed for the

137
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: guys next to me. So the confidence is built from

138
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: the hard work, and that's just such a consistent process

139
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 4: that you have to approach every single day and be

140
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: able to manage the highest and the lows.

141
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 3: Spencer, Remember you told us in the spring you felt

142
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: like you could make one from SEV I'm curious in

143
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: a game setting, is that number that long or how

144
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: far do you think you can make one?

145
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

146
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: It depends on the environment and how you're feeling.

147
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 6: Pregame.

148
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: I think the furthest that I made that pregame was

149
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 4: sixty three that from that distance, you just you know,

150
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: you have to really focus in, you have to hit

151
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: a really clean ball, and you just have to be

152
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: very calm in that instance. So I still feel good

153
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: from distance, and you know, that's something that I'll continue

154
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: to work on, work on my lines and everything. And

155
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 4: it's more so not about lakes strength, but just you know,

156
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: I guess calmness in that instance. You try to swing

157
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 4: too fast, get too chaotic, you're gonna miss hit the ball.

158
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: And so you just got to relax yourself, be calm,

159
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 4: strike a clean ball and then it'll carry. And so yes,

160
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: I'm still confident from distance.

161
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: Spencer. I think some of our fans are familiar with

162
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: your story. Obviously you spent time here last year. You know,

163
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: certainly your final year was that Notre Dame. The connection

164
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: with Brian Mason, special teams coordinator, there bit of a

165
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: recruitment overlap. But could you share a little bit about

166
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: your days growing up in Westfield a little bit more

167
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: on that front. You know, it's not always been football

168
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: through and through for you. So just maybe a little

169
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: bit of your kind of Indiana centric background for our

170
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: audience that maybe isn't totally familiar with your story.

171
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

172
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, So I grew up in Westfield, right down the road,

173
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: and I was a soccer player for my whole life,

174
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: and so I grew up playing at the Westfield soccer fields,

175
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: the Carmel soccer fields, and traveling around the Midwest area

176
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: and just had an awesome childhood.

177
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 6: Just really enjoyed growing up here in Indy. Never even thought.

178
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: About football, It just football was never really a thing

179
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: that my family was into. So it was just strictly

180
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: soccer and a little bit of tennis and some other

181
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: sports here and there. And then, you know, love growing

182
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: up here. Lived here till I was thirteen, then moved

183
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: out to Austin, Texas for a year, and then to

184
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 4: Florida after that, and then it was very very excited

185
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: to get the opportunity to come back here when I

186
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: grabbed transferred to Notre Dame because I still have so

187
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: many great connections in India, so much of my family's

188
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: from here, and so coming back for Notre Dame with

189
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 4: such a special experience and really felt like a homecoming

190
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: of sorts, and then to have the chance to sign

191
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: with the Colts last year and stay in Indy was

192
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: just a huge blessing. So many supportive influences off the field,

193
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: just a lot of local guys that I grew up

194
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: with that are just amazing to hang out with and

195
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: really cool to see how they've.

196
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 6: Grown and developed.

197
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: And couldn't be more blessed to have the community that

198
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: I have here. It's really special to play for a

199
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: team that you grew up around and that you feel

200
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 4: very connected to. I know a lot of guys don't

201
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 4: have that privilege, you know, in the NFL, with the

202
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: way that things work, with being drafted and traded and

203
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: signed to different teams. But for me to be here

204
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: in Indie playing for a hometown team is something that

205
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: means a lot to me.

206
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: You ready for the hard question, Spencer, the tough one.

207
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course?

208
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: Are you the best professional athlete in your own household?

209
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: I'm my best to be.

210
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: I think I'm the first person in the household to

211
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: play a professional sport. But the reason I'm able too

212
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: is because of all the hard work of people that

213
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: came before me, and so I just feel like I'm

214
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 4: doing my best to maximize my blessings just like the

215
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 4: people before me, and feel blessed to be here.

216
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 7: All right, Well, i'll let you Ron. I appreciate the

217
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 7: conversation this morning. We'll talk to you again soon.

218
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 6: Awesome, Thank you so much,
