1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: How was your off season? How's your summer? Beautiful? It

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: was amazing. Um it was it down in Atlanta. UM

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: down their train and spend time with family. UM got

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: got some time away, put a lot of good work

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: in like I said, and joint family time is all

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: my families down in Atlanta. So having all that was perfect,

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: a real healthy one. And I got a lot of

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: working and as you wait down a little bit a

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: little slimmer, you know my way. It's actually um as

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: sam as has always been. Definitely I feel trimmer. UM

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: just kind of focusing on my diet stuff and UM

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: and kind of locking in on that. Didn't care my body.

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: So I may not the same weight. Definitely feel a

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: little bit more slimmer and more trimmer and feel good

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: approach going up to the off season. Change at all? Yeah,

16
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: And I know it's been a year to year thing. Yeah,

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: but did you change anything? Well, no, I mean I

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: just took advantage UM, you know, a fully fully healthy

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: off season. UM didn't have any no setbacks and no

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: recovery stuff, no no lingering injury. So UM took some

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: took a little bit of time off, took advantage of

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: having a full, healthy off season and UM got to

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: work And I'm definitely a same mindset always in the

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: off season getting better attacking things I have to improve on.

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: But UM, just really taking advantage of a full, healthy

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: off season. With the ups and downs last year that

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: you had individually and really as a team, did you

28
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: were you able to when you stepped away from the season,

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: take pride in the fact that you did complete a season. UM. Yeah,

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: serious injury that kept you out of Yeah, you know,

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: it's always a blessing, UM to walk off this field UM,

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: injury free. UM. And so you know plan that last

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: year is a full season, my first full season. UM.

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: That was a big goal of mine before the year.

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: And to finish it out UM and not have anything

36
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: lingering afterwards. UM. I definitely took that in as a

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: blessing UM, and and was really pleased with that. Giant
