15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: the way things have gone this year.

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: So hopefully we can make the most of it.

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean faith.

20
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean if you don't have faith in what you're doing,

21
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: why are you coming in here every day? And for me,

22
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, I still have faith in the people in

23
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: this building, our process, the people leading us. I have

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: faith in a lot of things. So sometimes you have

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: to have faith, even when you haven't seen the the

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: results that you would have liked. I mean, but that's

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: that's life, right, So it's just part of it.

28
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: What's your advice a fellow captain and team leader, d

29
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: a guy like Mac? You going through what is going

30
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: through right now? The questions whether or not he's gonna

31
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: be the.

32
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Just remain as positive as possible and ignore the voices

33
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: and opinions that are not gonna impact your day to

34
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: day living. Cause Lord knows there are a lot of them

35
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: out there, but uh, most of them don't really matter.

36
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: So be positive.

37
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Continue to say true to yourself, your process. You know

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: that that goes for all of us, not just him.

39
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: Is it hard when you have does not happen in Germany?

40
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: Where you come home and everyone's talking about the quarterback,

41
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: the quarterback, the quarterback as one of your leaders.

42
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: Kind of thoughts do you have on that or is

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: it one of those things, like you said, where you

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: just tell everybody to kind of just keep going. Yeah, Well, look,

45
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: I I've never been the quarterback, so I'm I don't

46
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: wanna speak for him. I I can under I can

47
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: see and understand how that would be very challenging, especially

48
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: with the way things have gone this year for our

49
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: football team.

50
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: So again, I think as.

51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Much as you can, you have to limit those voices

52
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: and you know, continue to take advantage of the opportunities

53
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: that lie ahead of you. You know, live your professional

54
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: experience with a lot of gratitude and that should be

55
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: the foundation from which we're all working.

56
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: It's gratitude.

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: You know, we have a great opportunity to play a

58
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: game we love, so never lose sight of that.

59
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: And you know it's challenging. I'm sure it's challenging for

60
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: all of us, but you know it's gotta keep going, opportunity.

61
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: How much do you kind of st.

62
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Kind of make a yeah, absolutely, I mean, look, that's

63
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: the exciting thing. You hope you can change the narrative

64
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: of our of our story and and how that story ends.

65
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: And you know, we we have a say in that,

66
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: which is a beautiful thing. So hopefully we can do

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: the things that we need to do to start getting

68
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: some of the outcomes we'd like to see.

69
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: And you know, you know, you never know what can happen.

70
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: So we just got like I said earlier, we just

71
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: got to keep the faith, keep going.

72
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: And it's important guys to know where you just feel

73
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: the back to be.

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't speak for the team. It's not but it's

75
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: not important for me. I just come here and do

76
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: my job, keep my head down. And you know, those

77
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: are decisions that I'm not involved in and and they

78
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: don't impact you know, what I have to do personally.

79
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: Picked up any leaderships, you.

80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: Know, picked up a lot I you know, I Uh,

81
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: I think eventually I I'll look back upon this season

82
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: and be grateful for it.

83
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

84
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: I've said it, you know, several times throughout the course

85
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: of the season. But you know, it's easy to be

86
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: a front runner and leave when things are going well,

87
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: and uh to encourage and build up and lift up and.

88
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: And work hard when things are going well.

89
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: But when they're not, I think it really tests your

90
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: character and it tests your conviction. And you know, I

91
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: think the things that I say I believe in and

92
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: want to live out, you know, they've been challenging to

93
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: do this year, you know, staying positive, continuing to encourage.

94
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: But I'm learning what that looks like under these types

95
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: of circumstances. And I think it's gonna serve me well,

96
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 1: you know, in the future as a husband, as a father,

97
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: because that's how life is right. Nobody's life goes exactly

98
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: how they envision it, their twist and turn.

99
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: So it's been good.
