42
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: how are we feeling? Do you want to maybe.

43
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: Like discuss your what's been going on, like your journey

44
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 2: back and then how it felt being back in this week?

45
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Sure? Yeah, I mean it's just weird.

46
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 5: I you know, I'm an older player, so like being

47
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 5: out and being like.

48
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Okay, how's this gonna work? Yeah?

49
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 5: And the set no, I guess, Like, yeah, being injured

50
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: it's a weird thing. And I think a lot of

51
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: a lot of athletes obviously go through that at some

52
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 5: point in their journey, but like on the later half

53
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: of me, it's just interesting, right, Like mentally physically, You're

54
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: like if I'm out longer, like what's it going to

55
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 5: be like when I come back? But I think we

56
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 5: found a good rhythm and now that I'm back, I'm

57
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: like ready to rip and obviously managed, but it was

58
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 5: so cool to step on the court and like just

59
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 5: feel the energy of a crowd again and like I

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 5: don't know, I haven't played with you yet dat, but

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: like just being on the floor again was like, oh, yeah,

62
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 5: this is why I've been working so hard. Kind of

63
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: in the shadows so.

64
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 6: Truly, and it targets in the shadow.

65
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: I feel like people don't realize that you're like still

66
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: in there every day doing stuff, but like you don't

67
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: get to be on in six on six fully, and

68
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: it's got to be like so frustrating obviously. So how

69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: do you feel like you like mentally have been doing

70
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: with all of that, and then like what programs have

71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: you been doing?

72
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: It's for your neck if everyone doesn't know Mike has

73
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: some issues.

74
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's it's been obviously, like you said, frustrating,

75
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: but it's more like focusing on what you can control,

76
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: which is like rest, which is really hard for early athletes,

77
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 5: and then like what can I crush and petea, like

78
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 5: how can I like step up with my supplements or

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 5: eating or sleeping, Like what can I really control and

80
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 5: latch onto that? And so I think that really helped

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 5: me mentally, because otherwise I think I would have spiraled. Yeah,

82
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 5: and then like once I can put like more load

83
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: on my body with like setting or like more jumps,

84
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: and just focusing on like the positives like Okay, today

85
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 5: I got to do all these things and I felt

86
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: good and tomorrow I'll probably be able to add. So

87
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: that was just like what I focused on mentally, yeah,

88
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: which really helped.

89
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

90
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: Were you anxious about like going back on the court

91
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: at all this week or you feel like you've built

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: up to the so you felt ready.

93
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 5: I mean it's always like I don't know, it's weird

94
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 5: because I'm like well, I have the much time, but

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: I'm like, it's also just.

96
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Like you do it.

97
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 5: You get on a bike and you can remember, you know.

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: So I think that was cool for me to just

99
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 5: hop back in and be like cool, I'm I'm doing

100
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: that thing that I love to do.

101
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, and honestly, it's been really cool to see

102
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: you like off the court too and like more and

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: not like a coaching role, but in an essence kind

104
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: of like helping Maddie and Kaiser like do their thing.

105
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: I think that that's been really beneficial for everybody this season.

106
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you've learned a little bit more

107
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: being out and like having a different perspective of.

108
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 5: Course, I think, like not only just about volleyball, but

109
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 5: like about our team in general and seeing like what's

110
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,559
Speaker 5: working well, what can we get better at? And maybe

111
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 5: sometimes like I always want to be cautious to you

112
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 5: if I'm sharing feedback, like you know, you know how

113
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 5: it is there days you don't want to hear anything.

114
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 5: You're like, I'm just trying to do the thing and

115
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 5: survive it and okay, and so I'm like I can

116
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 5: just tell in a certain places are like not in mood.

117
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: So I'm like we'll just talk tomorrow maybe you know,

118
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 5: like I'll find another time. But otherwise I really do

119
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 5: enjoy like that feedback loop. So that's been fun, different,

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 5: different vantage point for me.

121
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. So everything is good. We're feeling good

122
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 2: going forward.

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: We are in it. At the beginning, that was tough.

124
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: The like.

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: I remember you telling me that you were like driving

126
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: to practice and to switch lanes you had to fully

127
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: like look like.

128
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: This in your car. It was kind of scary.

129
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: I'm like hoping no one's over there, just kidding, and geez.

130
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: Oh man, I know that's terrifying because everyone's a bully

131
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: on the road today. Today, I actually cut off a

132
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: this is by accident, but I cut off not an

133
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: ambulance but a fire truck, and like they used they

134
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: used the big horn on me. They went and I

135
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh. And then I literally was

136
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: looking at every mirror like sorry, my my bed, sorry, sorry,

137
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: like apologizing to them because I was like that scared

138
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: the life out of me. So anyway east in traffic

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: as well.

140
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 5: If you just see a pickup check, you're like you

141
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 5: have the right away because otherwise they're taking it.

142
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, So No, it's like a monster truck rally on

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: the freeway.

144
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: They're running me over. And I've said this before.

145
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: I think because I have California plates that I am

146
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: being targeted.

147
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 1: They're like, mm, yeah, we're running you off the road.

148
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: It's just gonna be blurred.

149
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can sell whatever you want. Productions will blur

150
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: this out. Thank you.

151
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: I'm the wild Things saying wild things. Speaking of wild things.

152
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: Our game against Austin, Jordan Thompson had that microphone out

153
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: that it was a hot mic. Maybe we just talked

154
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: a little bit about the game and we just like

155
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: clear the air and tell people we do know how

156
00:07:59,360 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: to rotate.

157
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, first of all, we are professionals and so

158
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: on are our coaches.

159
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: But I would just like the exactly. I would just

160
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 4: like to set the record straight.

161
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: There are these iPads that we have that our coaches

162
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: have on each bench, okay, and the ref has.

163
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: One on his little stand.

164
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: The iPad was not correct, so it was glitching. It

165
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: was glitching. So basically we asked, like, you know, are

166
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: we in the right rotation? They said yes, Austin served

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: at us and then immediately we're like called out of rotation.

168
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: We're like, what's going on? We literally just asked you,

169
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: and so I said, I went up to the ref.

170
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: I said, okay, what row are we in? And he said, Maddie,

171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 3: number nine is in six. I said, okay, cool, we're

172
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: all going back and forth. Sonia's like, but the iPad

173
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: changed like once he told us we were in the

174
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: right thing and then immediately after it switched, and then

175
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: he called you guys out of rotation. So I go

176
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: up to him again, I said, so, what rotation are

177
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: we in? And he said number nine, Maddie, she's in one.

178
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: I said, you just told me she was in six anyways,

179
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: So it was just like a whole thing.

180
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically getting was saying something different than the

181
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: ref's iPad.

182
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: They were both glitched.

183
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: They were both wrong glitch yes, okay, and then only if.

184
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: You ask the ref, they tell you where you're at

185
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 6: and then it's done.

186
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because also we have these media timeouts that are

187
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: super long, so you kind of forget, like you're talking

188
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 3: about the game plan and what's going on, what you're

189
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: going to do next, and sometimes you forget what row

190
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: you're in.

191
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 4: So that's why we asked before of like, oh yeah, Okay,

192
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: we're in this row. And then he was like no,

193
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: after he told us that's where we were.

194
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: Yes, so I'm like, we were out of rotation. And

195
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: then but then when so like Skinner was serving at

196
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: me when we were like whatever, out of rotation, and

197
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: then we rotated back to the correct rotation, and she

198
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: still she still goes back to serve again. So technically

199
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: also Austin was out of rotation. Whatever, if we're going

200
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: to talk about all of it, you better talk about.

201
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: All of it, okay.

202
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: So anyway, so we will speak our piece and that

203
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: is that, and we know our rotations except for last

204
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: match when we technically were out of rotation.

205
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: And I was like, this isn't looking good, you guys. No, really,

206
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: after that happened in the game.

207
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: I looked at Jordan and I was like, I'm so

208
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: mad because now it's like we're always out of rotation.

209
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 6: Yeah.

210
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: But literally when that happened, we held the tuttle tuttle

211
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 3: for a really long time and the ref was blowing

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: your whistle at me and looking at me, and I

213
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: was like what and she was like, go to your rotation.

214
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, we're getting there.

215
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: You just start like dancing.

216
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: I was like, but then I was looking at our

217
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: middle and our middle was walking back like we were

218
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: in a different row, and like we row six, and

219
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: I was like, we're in row one, and I'm looking

220
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: at Sonia and I'm like, wait, what's going on?

221
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: And then by the time but the whistle blew immediately,

222
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: like I was looking at you guys like no, and

223
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: they're blowing the whistle and I was like wait because

224
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: trying to keep that. Also, the rate of play is

225
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: like fast, like they are on that whistle. I think

226
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: that that's been something that they're really trying to move

227
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 2: us quickly. And so then if you walk back, you're

228
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: like you're out of rotation, you know, And sometimes your

229
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: mind is just like woa. Because Kaisa was standing in

230
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: rotation one, you guys were in roads.

231
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: It was just a mess.

232
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: Anyway, we do know our rotations, so for we are

233
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: human also, Yeah.

234
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: And you have to make mistakes or cuss at our coach,

235
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: like when.

236
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, let's clear that too, because you weren't cussing

237
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 2: at her.

238
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

239
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: No.

240
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 3: First of all, I would just like to say me

241
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: and Sonya have worked together previously.

242
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 6: Relationships, so we were all tighting.

243
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: Her like this, Okay, we go together, we go together.

244
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 4: No, Like, Sonya is my girl.

245
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: I love her and I would never doesn't matter if

246
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: I like my coach or not. I'm not going to

247
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: ever cuss at my coach. I'm just not that kind

248
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 3: of person. I don't even like confrontation like that. And

249
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: so I was getting frustrated because one we're in the

250
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: Texas Showdown, like we're trying to win, we're trying to

251
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: own this day, and it's a heated game. It's like

252
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: a tight set, like we're you know, and anyways, so

253
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: I was just saying, I was saying, not at Sonia,

254
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: but just at the situation, like what the f is

255
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 3: going on?

256
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: And well, because truly, what the f was actually going on?

257
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: It was it was chaos. And then like asking, Sonya said,

258
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: she asked some of the people that were behind the

259
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,239
Speaker 2: ref stand after or behind the score table.

260
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: And they were like, we didn't even know what was

261
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: going on. So, you know, it was.

262
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: Just kind of chaotic that day. Yeah, but hey, that's okay,

263
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: it happens. And then you scored thirty one points. That

264
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: was like the thirty two thirty one kills, thirty two

265
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: points carry the one at the you know, thirty.

266
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: Two exactly, I'm seventy nine.

267
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, record breaking performance. Yeah dude, I love that.

268
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: So basically, we know our rotations and it's important to

269
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 2: know them. And if you don't know volleyball, I mean

270
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: we we know our rotations. So for like the average watcher,

271
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: we're really sorry if like that's really that's happened. But

272
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: usually I would say, out of the whole season, ninety

273
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: nine point nine percent of the time we're in the

274
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: correct one.

275
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's something unfortunate. The unfortunate fiasco last year

276
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: against Nebraska. You guys remember that, no what happened, but

277
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: that it wasn't It wasn't really like us. It was

278
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 5: just like, uh, Massmo or whoever put the rotations in wrong.

279
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: Outside and we were.

280
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: Like, yes, the back row.

281
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: I looked at my right and me and Jess are

282
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: both in the back row at the same time, and

283
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: I was actually like, what what's going on?

284
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll play outside for oneation and then once our

285
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: outside comes back front row, then I'll stand over here,

286
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: but then I'll run over there and then our set

287
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: will come. And I was literally like trying to do math, like.

288
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 6: I was so messed up that we would go.

289
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: We would a huddle and I remember somebody saying, just

290
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: play volleyball, and I was like, in this moment, I

291
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: simply can't because there's two outsides right here in six

292
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: right now, and I don't. We're holding hands trying to

293
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: play the right. It makes sense.

294
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 6: You're like, we'll both playing six perfect.

295
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: We got this. That was so funny. I forgot about that.

296
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: I remember hearing Jordan Laurs go we have just let

297
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: him play. Was like, oh, it's that bad.

298
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: It's like, oh my gosh.

299
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: That was around TV. That's awful.

300
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got subbed out. I remember.

301
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: I think they were like, just put an outside in

302
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: like my position and then it would be easier. Then

303
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: I don't have to pass and one.

304
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: Of them in the rotation. Though when you were playing outside, okay, good.

305
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: No, I was okay.

306
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: First of all, I actually did pass for one entire

307
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: season in Turkey, So.

308
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, ladist you who won?

309
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: Probably you, I don't know, because your team was pretty good.

310
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: That was.

Speaker 3: So I feel like it's hard to choose between Turkey

316
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: and Italy because they're so different, but there's so many

317
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: good things about both.

318
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: What about you, Maddy, my favorite country? Yeah, I would

319
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: say Turkey. I liked Italy, but it was just like

320
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: much more structured.

321
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

322
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: I just felt like I didn't have like a lot

323
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: of life outside of all we finished a match, I

324
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: couldn't just leave and like go do what I wanted

325
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: or hang out with my friends. It was always like, okay,

326
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: we have team dinner and then whatever. They really wanted

327
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: to hang out with me all the time or like

328
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: make sure I was with the team, and I was like,

329
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: let me be free.

330
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's definitely less independence, I feel like in Italy.

331
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Italy is where Jordan and I like kind

332
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: of met for the first time on the national team.

333
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: Jordan was my first national Oh my gosh, Jordan's first

334
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: roomate on the national team was me.

335
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: So you just got really lucky.

336
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: Well, I did get bullied, and it was something that

337
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: we had to talk to the staff about because it

338
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: was incessant.

339
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: And yeah, when you were having but you you had

340
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: night terrors and you would like get up in the

341
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: middle of the night, you would like scream.

342
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: Actually was somebody on the team. I don't remember who,

343
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: but somebody.

344
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: I won't out them, but it was one of my roommates.

345
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: I told you. Anyway, So they keeping banging on the wall,

346
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: punching me across the face and I'm just kidding.

347
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: It was like like some screaming, but that was Yeah.

348
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: That was literal night terrors that they were having. Anyway.

349
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, did you guys do like face next masks that night?

350
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: You guys did, like probably we were bonding.

351
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: Oh yes.

352
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: And then I would always give Jordan ship for not

353
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: having the key. And then was this I lost the key,

354
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: but I said that your key was mine and.

355
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 4: Then you stole my key said that I yes, yes, but.

356
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: Really three years later, I'm going through an old backpack

357
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: and I find the key from our room Italy, and

358
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: then I texted you.

359
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm so sorry, Like I do in fact,

360
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 5: I have that key.

361
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: We can go back in our room now.

362
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what do you guys? How do you

363
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: guys feel like practice is going and our team flow

364
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: is kind of going these days?

365
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, how was your guys practice today. Good, good, bad? Okay.

366
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 4: Oh I kind of remember.

367
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, you guys did it because you were

368
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 6: it was just two of you.

369
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were doing like first ball and then like

370
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 5: getting the tip and transitioning out of it, and.

371
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: It was just like a lot but it was fun. Okay.

372
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: I feel like at this point in the season too,

373
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: like you know, you're not gonna just you're not trying

374
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: to reinvent the wheel, but it's like, okay, how can

375
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: we fine tune and maybe like add little pieces here

376
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: or there.

377
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 4: And so I think that's fun because.

378
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: You're not going to make these huge changes, but like

379
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: how can we tweak little things and then prove like

380
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: our weaknesses. And at this point, like we all know

381
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: each other really well in the gym, so it gets

382
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 3: harder to score, it gets harder to like all this stuff,

383
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 3: and I think it makes it. I think we just

384
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: are like we challenge each other in practice, and that's

385
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: really fun just being able to compete.

386
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like we've kind of hit like a

387
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 2: not to I mean, I know, we just like had

388
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 2: a questionnaire about this, but I feel like we've reached

389
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: kind of like a flow state with our team where

390
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: like we kind of know what to expect and then

391
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: like when we deviate from that, it's really frustrating. Now,

392
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: but like knowing our capability as a team is really cool,

393
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: and I feel like we're like still reaching that, but

394
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: we're getting there, and it's really just the small little

395
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: plays at this point.

396
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: Well, it's that urgency we talk about too, right, Like.

397
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: When we now that we've kind of gotten like the

398
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: confidence in the team and what we can do, it's like, okay, well,

399
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 5: like if we're in control of these things, let's step

400
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 5: on the court with those in mind and still obviously

401
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 5: get better at the things we can tweak.

402
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: Right, For the most.

403
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 6: Season, I've been like, heck, yeah.

404
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: I know, you've been such a good cheerleader and now

405
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 2: you got to get back into it.

406
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: You got to find a sense of urgency.

407
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: Has kind of been our I guess motto through the

408
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: through the whole season.

409
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: But I think it's been really helpful.

410
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean it definitely reminds us to check back in

411
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: and lock in when we need to.

412
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully from the beginning.

413
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: Shopping with your parents can be embarrassing.

414
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 6: Why would they sell jeans with holes in them?

415
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to speak to the manager.

Speaker 2: then go to the beach and play volleyball all day. Yes,

441
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: and now if I tried to do that, my legs

442
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 2: would break in half.

443
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially after national team practices, like because you're not

00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: There's no way we'd recover. Yeah, my body'd be dead. Yeah.

448
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,280

450
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,240

Speaker 3: Yeah no, but I mean I feel like, honestly, the

473
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 3: reason I'm the most tired after matches is because of

474
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 3: the talking, like after place during rallies, like trying to

475
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 3: communicate like that, yes, that's exhausting.

476
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: It's not a rotation exactly, my coach, It's like it

477
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: takes a lot out of us exactly.

478
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 2: That part is really hard though, because I feel like

479
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: it's mentally draining to be talking every rotation. We know

480
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: also our rotations, but we also know what the other

481
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: what the rotations the other team is in, Like we

482
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 2: go through scouting, we have to know all their stuff

483
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 2: and we know what's going on on the other side

484
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: and what rotation they should be in they should have

485
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: pulled us, what rotation we should have been.

486
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: The rotation that they're in, but what they like are

487
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: most likely going to set, or like what their tendencies are,

488
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: like the amount of information that's going on in our

489
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: brains during a game. I think it's like, what's so

490
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: cool about volleyball is there's so many different layers to it.

491
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 4: Like the first first learning, you're.

492
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 3: Like, oh, three touches, boom, SIT's bike and then you're like,

493
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: whoa rotations, setter's back round, setter's.

494
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 4: Front row, six two five one, like like there serve.

495
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like there's so many levels to it, And I

496
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: think that's what's I mean sports in general, I think

497
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: you can always find that, but I think volleyball is

498
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: there's so much going on that the casual viewer probably

499
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: has no idea about.

500
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: Right, and it's all happening in like very very split seconds.

501
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: And the moment, like the momentum shifts that happen in volleyball,

502
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 5: it's huge for our game.

503
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then like the out of rotations I started

504
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: to beat it dead horse, but like that is such

505
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: a momentum shift like that could do that.

506
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: I think that kind.

507
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: Of like catapulted us to like play even harder in

508
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: the Austin game because we were just pissed off, like, oh,

509
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: you're gonna call us out of rotation when like we

510
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 2: didn't feel like we were in the wrong in the moment,

511
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 2: but like technically, I guess we kind of I don't know,

512
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: but those are like infuriating moments that people don't realize.

513
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: I think that that could like kind of make or

514
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: break you. Like you could be like, oh, damn, we're

515
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: out of rotation. We lost the point, like shoot, we

516
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: needed that, or like, okay, you call us out of rotation.

517
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: Now I'm angry at the rest and now we're staring

518
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: people down and now I'm getting thirty two points of whatever.

519
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it is like a lot of

520
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: little nuances that people don't necessarily notice, which is so fun.

521
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: It's all our little secrets.

522
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: So favorite things about having each other on the team.

523
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: You guys can tell me.

524
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like, I love playing skydow at

525
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: the airport with you guys. It's like one of my

526
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: favorite sky joke. Could sponsor us, that would be really

527
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: great because we do play that a lot. No, I

528
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: think that. I mean, Mike, you I think we talked

529
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: about it. No, we didn't talk about this the other day.

530
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: But like, Mike, you're not even been on the court

531
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: as much with us. But I feel like Jordan, it's

532
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: been really fun and like a lot of pressure off

533
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: of me to have you on the court this season,

534
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: just because I feel like we're both kind of in

535
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: that leadership role and so it's like nice to be

536
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: able to share the weight of that. And Mike, You're

537
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: just always a great time And I think that having

538
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: you on the sideline has been really cool. Just to

539
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 2: see you help Kaisa and Maddie walk has been awesome,

540
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: and like seeing you kind of being a coaching role

541
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: and still involved even though what you've been dealing with

542
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: I know has been like very challenging. So I'm really

543
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: proud of both of you.

544
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 6: Thank you.

545
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mattie, I told you that. I told you that yesterday,

546
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: just like.

547
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: Watching you, you know, we didn't have the best start

548
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 5: to season, but like you were trying to find like Okay,

549
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to be more ball handily, I'm going to

550
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 5: do the thing and like lead and I think like

551
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: after that game like game three we lost, you just

552
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 5: like turn it around, and I like think that's huge

553
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 5: for our team. Like, yeah, JT, you're carrying a really

554
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: heavy scoring load, but like we needed some balance and

555
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 5: I think you guys found a really good like equilibrium there.

556
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: So watching you guys do that.

557
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: It's been really just like cool elevating. You know, yeah,

558
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: we're just elevate guys.

559
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna tell the story. It's one of my

560
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 5: first practices back and I like set Jess on a

561
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 5: pipe and I don't know why, but I like felt

562
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 5: like being fruity and I like ran through said the

563
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: pipe and I was like, yes, elevate and like I

564
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 5: swear time flow.

565
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: She was like what did you just say? And I

566
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: was like, don't make me say it again. Now it's

567
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: a whole joke.

568
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 6: The whole team is like what, Like, I'm just gonna

569
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 6: give you guys on your toes.

570
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like now we're time. Every time someone goes

571
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: up to hit, I want to be like elevator.

572
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: Instead of being like, yeah, okay, crush its elevate, go

573
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: get it. I was like I need I need some variety.

574
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: I've never heard anyone say that, and it's just like

575
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: so uniquely you.

576
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 5: I would say, like, also, in addition to working with

577
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 5: both of you, it doesn't feel like work, and I

578
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 5: think that's really rare, Like it feels heavy, Yeah, to

579
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 5: have friends who like can compete at a level like

580
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 5: we do. And also like you get each other off

581
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 5: the court. It's just really special, so doesn't feel like work.

582
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: I feel like we just have so much fun, and

583
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: I think it's like really cool that we.

584
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 4: Can have so much fun while we're playing.

585
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: I think find that balance of like joking around but

586
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: also being like super intentional and like staying locked in.

587
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: And I think when you are playing at a high

588
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: level and you have the experience that like you guys

589
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: do it just I don't know, it's really fun to

590
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 3: be teammate and joke around and whatever, but then like

591
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: at the same time have each other's back on the court,

592
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: and I think that's really special. But sometimes I'm like, Okay,

593
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: I feel like I do have to check myself because

594
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 3: I just love having fun and giggling.

595
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm like okay.

596
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: Because yeah, sometimes though, like okay, the three of us,

597
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 2: I feel like we can get away with it because like, Okay,

598
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: I can joke and then I know how to like

599
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: when I need to do my job.

600
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: Also, you guys like I can lock in and do

601
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: my job.

602
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: But then you have some teammates who like if you

603
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 2: get too silly, then they're like, oh, I can get silly,

604
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: and then you're like, no, now the whole practice is

605
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: sloppy and silly or game like. Yeah, it's just gotten

606
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: too out of hand. So there's a fine line, and

607
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: I think we walk it nicely most days. Some days

608
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: are a little unhinged, but.

609
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: You're found to like one.

610
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you guys have any special routines like travel,

611
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: favorite team meal that you have too, so that you can.

612
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: Share nap coffee? Nap coffee, Jordan, you eat a lot

613
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: of salmon? I know that.

614
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm a big salmon and rice girl.

615
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: Is that how you get the flex so like big, yes,

616
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: strong exactly.

617
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: So like a lot of people have been asking what.

00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,640

00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all this album.

621
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: It's not all that sound dang. And then the people

622
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: want to.

623
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,000
