<v Speaker 3>was very cute and very us All the plans fell through,

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 3>basically excellent and we had to pivot.

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 4>But it was really, uh just special because it was

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:34.480

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll just like pivot to volleyball. Mikey back in the action, sister,

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>how are we feeling? Do you want to maybe.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Like discuss your what's been going on, like your journey

0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.080
<v Speaker 2>back and then how it felt being back in this week?

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Sure? Yeah, I mean it's just weird.

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 5>I you know, I'm an older player, so like being

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 5>out and being like.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, how's this gonna work? Yeah?

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 5>And the set no, I guess, Like, yeah, being injured

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 5>it's a weird thing. And I think a lot of

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 5>a lot of athletes obviously go through that at some

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 5>point in their journey, but like on the later half

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 5>of me, it's just interesting, right, Like mentally physically, You're

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 5>like if I'm out longer, like what's it going to

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 5>be like when I come back? But I think we

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 5>found a good rhythm and now that I'm back, I'm

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 5>like ready to rip and obviously managed, but it was

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 5>so cool to step on the court and like just

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 5>feel the energy of a crowd again and like I

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 5>don't know, I haven't played with you yet dat, but

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 5>like just being on the floor again was like, oh, yeah,

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 5>this is why I've been working so hard. Kind of

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 5>in the shadows so.

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 6>Truly, and it targets in the shadow.

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like people don't realize that you're like still

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 2>in there every day doing stuff, but like you don't

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>get to be on in six on six fully, and

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>it's got to be like so frustrating obviously. So how

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>do you feel like you like mentally have been doing

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 2>with all of that, and then like what programs have

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 2>you been doing?

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>It's for your neck if everyone doesn't know Mike has

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>some issues.

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think it's it's been obviously, like you said, frustrating,

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 5>but it's more like focusing on what you can control,

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 5>which is like rest, which is really hard for early athletes,

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 5>and then like what can I crush and petea, like

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 5>how can I like step up with my supplements or

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 5>eating or sleeping, Like what can I really control and

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 5>latch onto that? And so I think that really helped

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 5>me mentally, because otherwise I think I would have spiraled. Yeah,

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 5>and then like once I can put like more load

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 5>on my body with like setting or like more jumps,

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 5>and just focusing on like the positives like Okay, today

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 5>I got to do all these things and I felt

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 5>good and tomorrow I'll probably be able to add. So

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 5>that was just like what I focused on mentally, yeah,

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 5>which really helped.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Were you anxious about like going back on the court

0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>at all this week or you feel like you've built

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 2>up to the so you felt ready.

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean it's always like I don't know, it's weird

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 5>because I'm like well, I have the much time, but

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, it's also just.

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Like you do it.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 5>You get on a bike and you can remember, you know.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 5>So I think that was cool for me to just

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 5>hop back in and be like cool, I'm I'm doing

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 5>that thing that I love to do.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and honestly, it's been really cool to see

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>you like off the court too and like more and

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 2>not like a coaching role, but in an essence kind

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of like helping Maddie and Kaiser like do their thing.

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's been really beneficial for everybody this season.

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like you've learned a little bit more

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>being out and like having a different perspective of.

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 5>Course, I think, like not only just about volleyball, but

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 5>like about our team in general and seeing like what's

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.559
<v Speaker 5>working well, what can we get better at? And maybe

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 5>sometimes like I always want to be cautious to you

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 5>if I'm sharing feedback, like you know, you know how

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:53.799
<v Speaker 5>it is there days you don't want to hear anything.

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 5>You're like, I'm just trying to do the thing and

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 5>survive it and okay, and so I'm like I can

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 5>just tell in a certain places are like not in mood.

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 5>So I'm like we'll just talk tomorrow maybe you know,

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 5>like I'll find another time. But otherwise I really do

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 5>enjoy like that feedback loop. So that's been fun, different,

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 5>different vantage point for me.

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's awesome. So everything is good. We're feeling good

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:16.799
<v Speaker 2>going forward.

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>We are in it. At the beginning, that was tough.

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>The like.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I remember you telling me that you were like driving

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>to practice and to switch lanes you had to fully

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>like look like.

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>This in your car. It was kind of scary.

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm like hoping no one's over there, just kidding, and geez.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I know that's terrifying because everyone's a bully

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 2>on the road today. Today, I actually cut off a

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>this is by accident, but I cut off not an

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>ambulance but a fire truck, and like they used they

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 2>used the big horn on me. They went and I

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh my gosh. And then I literally was

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at every mirror like sorry, my my bed, sorry, sorry,

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>like apologizing to them because I was like that scared

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the life out of me. So anyway east in traffic

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 5>If you just see a pickup check, you're like you

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 5>have the right away because otherwise they're taking it.

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, So No, it's like a monster truck rally on

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 2>the freeway.

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>They're running me over. And I've said this before.

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I think because I have California plates that I am

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>being targeted.

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.559
<v Speaker 1>They're like, mm, yeah, we're running you off the road.

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 4>It's just gonna be blurred.

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they can sell whatever you want. Productions will blur

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>this out. Thank you.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm the wild Things saying wild things. Speaking of wild things.

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Our game against Austin, Jordan Thompson had that microphone out

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>that it was a hot mic. Maybe we just talked

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about the game and we just like

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 2>clear the air and tell people we do know how

0:07:59.360 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>to rotate.

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, first of all, we are professionals and so

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 3>on are our coaches.

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 4>But I would just like the exactly. I would just

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 4>like to set the record straight.

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 3>There are these iPads that we have that our coaches

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 3>have on each bench, okay, and the ref has.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 4>One on his little stand.

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 3>The iPad was not correct, so it was glitching. It

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 3>was glitching. So basically we asked, like, you know, are

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 3>we in the right rotation? They said yes, Austin served

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 3>at us and then immediately we're like called out of rotation.

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 3>We're like, what's going on? We literally just asked you,

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 3>and so I said, I went up to the ref.

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 3>I said, okay, what row are we in? And he said, Maddie,

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 3>number nine is in six. I said, okay, cool, we're

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 3>all going back and forth. Sonia's like, but the iPad

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 3>changed like once he told us we were in the

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 3>right thing and then immediately after it switched, and then

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 3>he called you guys out of rotation. So I go

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 3>up to him again, I said, so, what rotation are

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 3>we in? And he said number nine, Maddie, she's in one.

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I said, you just told me she was in six anyways,

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 3>So it was just like a whole thing.

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So basically getting was saying something different than the

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>ref's iPad.

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 4>They were both glitched.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 2>They were both wrong glitch yes, okay, and then only if.

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 6>You ask the ref, they tell you where you're at

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 6>and then it's done.

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Because also we have these media timeouts that are

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 3>super long, so you kind of forget, like you're talking

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.839
<v Speaker 3>about the game plan and what's going on, what you're

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 3>going to do next, and sometimes you forget what row

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 3>you're in.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 4>So that's why we asked before of like, oh yeah, Okay,

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 4>we're in this row. And then he was like no,

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 4>after he told us that's where we were.

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so I'm like, we were out of rotation. And

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>then but then when so like Skinner was serving at

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 2>me when we were like whatever, out of rotation, and

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>then we rotated back to the correct rotation, and she

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 2>still she still goes back to serve again. So technically

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>also Austin was out of rotation. Whatever, if we're going

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to talk about all of it, you better talk about.

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>All of it, okay.

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, so we will speak our piece and that

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 2>is that, and we know our rotations except for last

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 2>match when we technically were out of rotation.

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, this isn't looking good, you guys. No, really,

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>after that happened in the game.

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I looked at Jordan and I was like, I'm so

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 2>mad because now it's like we're always out of rotation.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 3>But literally when that happened, we held the tuttle tuttle

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.559
<v Speaker 3>for a really long time and the ref was blowing

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 3>your whistle at me and looking at me, and I

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 3>was like what and she was like, go to your rotation.

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 4>I was like, okay, we're getting there.

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 1>You just start like dancing.

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like, but then I was looking at our

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 3>middle and our middle was walking back like we were

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 3>in a different row, and like we row six, and

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I was like, we're in row one, and I'm looking

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 3>at Sonia and I'm like, wait, what's going on?

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>And then by the time but the whistle blew immediately,

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>like I was looking at you guys like no, and

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>they're blowing the whistle and I was like wait because

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to keep that. Also, the rate of play is

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 2>like fast, like they are on that whistle. I think

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 2>that that's been something that they're really trying to move

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 2>us quickly. And so then if you walk back, you're

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 2>like you're out of rotation, you know, And sometimes your

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 2>mind is just like woa. Because Kaisa was standing in

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>rotation one, you guys were in roads.

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>It was just a mess.

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, we do know our rotations, so for we are

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 2>human also, Yeah.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 4>And you have to make mistakes or cuss at our coach,

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 4>like when.

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, let's clear that too, because you weren't cussing

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:40.839
<v Speaker 2>at her.

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 3>First of all, I would just like to say me

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 3>and Sonya have worked together previously.

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.199
<v Speaker 6>Relationships, so we were all tighting.

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Her like this, Okay, we go together, we go together.

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 4>No, Like, Sonya is my girl.

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I love her and I would never doesn't matter if

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 3>I like my coach or not. I'm not going to

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 3>ever cuss at my coach. I'm just not that kind

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 3>of person. I don't even like confrontation like that. And

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 3>so I was getting frustrated because one we're in the

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Texas Showdown, like we're trying to win, we're trying to

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 3>own this day, and it's a heated game. It's like

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 3>a tight set, like we're you know, and anyways, so

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I was just saying, I was saying, not at Sonia,

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 3>but just at the situation, like what the f is

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 3>going on?

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>And well, because truly, what the f was actually going on?

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 2>It was it was chaos. And then like asking, Sonya said,

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>she asked some of the people that were behind the

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.239
<v Speaker 2>ref stand after or behind the score table.

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>And they were like, we didn't even know what was

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 1>going on. So, you know, it was.

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Just kind of chaotic that day. Yeah, but hey, that's okay,

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>it happens. And then you scored thirty one points. That

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 2>was like the thirty two thirty one kills, thirty two

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.719
<v Speaker 2>points carry the one at the you know, thirty.

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Two exactly, I'm seventy nine.

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, record breaking performance. Yeah dude, I love that.

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So basically, we know our rotations and it's important to

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.959
<v Speaker 2>know them. And if you don't know volleyball, I mean

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>we we know our rotations. So for like the average watcher,

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>we're really sorry if like that's really that's happened. But

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 2>usually I would say, out of the whole season, ninety

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 2>nine point nine percent of the time we're in the

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 2>correct one.

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so that's something unfortunate. The unfortunate fiasco last year

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 5>against Nebraska. You guys remember that, no what happened, but

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 5>that it wasn't It wasn't really like us. It was

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 5>just like, uh, Massmo or whoever put the rotations in wrong.

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Outside and we were.

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Like, yes, the back row.

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I looked at my right and me and Jess are

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 2>both in the back row at the same time, and

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.439
<v Speaker 2>I was actually like, what what's going on?

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'll play outside for oneation and then once our

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 3>outside comes back front row, then I'll stand over here,

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 3>but then I'll run over there and then our set

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 3>will come. And I was literally like trying to do math, like.

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 6>I was so messed up that we would go.

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.719
<v Speaker 2>We would a huddle and I remember somebody saying, just

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>play volleyball, and I was like, in this moment, I

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 2>simply can't because there's two outsides right here in six

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 2>right now, and I don't. We're holding hands trying to

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>play the right. It makes sense.

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 6>You're like, we'll both playing six perfect.

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>We got this. That was so funny. I forgot about that.

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember hearing Jordan Laurs go we have just let

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>him play. Was like, oh, it's that bad.

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 4>It's like, oh my gosh.

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>That was around TV. That's awful.

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I got subbed out. I remember.

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 3>I think they were like, just put an outside in

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 3>like my position and then it would be easier. Then

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't have to pass and one.

0:14:55.720 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Of them in the rotation. Though when you were playing outside, okay, good.

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 4>No, I was okay.

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 3>First of all, I actually did pass for one entire

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 3>season in Turkey, So.

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, okay, ladist you who won?

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Probably you, I don't know, because your team was pretty good.

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>That was.

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh when I was at asaug Oh yeah, whoa yeah yeah.

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>So what was your favorite country to play in?

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Micah?

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 6>Definitely Italy yeah. I mean I was there for seven years.

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 3>So I feel like it's hard to choose between Turkey

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 3>and Italy because they're so different, but there's so many

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 3>good things about both.

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>What about you, Maddy, my favorite country? Yeah, I would

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 2>say Turkey. I liked Italy, but it was just like

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>much more structured.

0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I just felt like I didn't have like a lot

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 2>of life outside of all we finished a match, I

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 2>couldn't just leave and like go do what I wanted

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>or hang out with my friends. It was always like, okay,

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 2>we have team dinner and then whatever. They really wanted

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 2>to hang out with me all the time or like

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 2>make sure I was with the team, and I was like,

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>let me be free.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's definitely less independence, I feel like in Italy.

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but Italy is where Jordan and I like kind

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 2>of met for the first time on the national team.

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Jordan was my first national Oh my gosh, Jordan's first

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>roomate on the national team was me.

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>So you just got really lucky.

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, I did get bullied, and it was something that

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 3>we had to talk to the staff about because it

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 3>was incessant.

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, when you were having but you you had

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 2>night terrors and you would like get up in the

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 2>middle of the night, you would like scream.

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 4>Actually was somebody on the team. I don't remember who,

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 4>but somebody.

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I won't out them, but it was one of my roommates.

0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I told you. Anyway, So they keeping banging on the wall,

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>punching me across the face and I'm just kidding.

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>It was like like some screaming, but that was Yeah.

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>That was literal night terrors that they were having. Anyway.

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, did you guys do like face next masks that night?

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>You guys did, like probably we were bonding.

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh yes.

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.640
<v Speaker 2>And then I would always give Jordan ship for not

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.640
<v Speaker 2>having the key. And then was this I lost the key,

0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>but I said that your key was mine and.

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:35.200
<v Speaker 4>Then you stole my key said that I yes, yes, but.

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Really three years later, I'm going through an old backpack

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 2>and I find the key from our room Italy, and

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 2>then I texted you.

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I'm so sorry, Like I do in fact,

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 5>I have that key.

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 1>We can go back in our room now.

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, what do you guys? How do you

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 2>guys feel like practice is going and our team flow

0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 2>is kind of going these days?

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how was your guys practice today. Good, good, bad? Okay.

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:09.679
<v Speaker 4>Oh I kind of remember.

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, yeah, you guys did it because you were

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 6>it was just two of you.

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they were doing like first ball and then like

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 5>getting the tip and transitioning out of it, and.

0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 1>It was just like a lot but it was fun. Okay.

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel like at this point in the season too,

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 3>like you know, you're not gonna just you're not trying

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.120
<v Speaker 3>to reinvent the wheel, but it's like, okay, how can

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 3>we fine tune and maybe like add little pieces here

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 3>or there.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 4>And so I think that's fun because.

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to make these huge changes, but like

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 3>how can we tweak little things and then prove like

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 3>our weaknesses. And at this point, like we all know

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 3>each other really well in the gym, so it gets

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.199
<v Speaker 3>harder to score, it gets harder to like all this stuff,

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 3>and I think it makes it. I think we just

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 3>are like we challenge each other in practice, and that's

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 3>really fun just being able to compete.

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like we've kind of hit like a

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.959
<v Speaker 2>not to I mean, I know, we just like had

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>a questionnaire about this, but I feel like we've reached

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a flow state with our team where

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.200
<v Speaker 2>like we kind of know what to expect and then

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>like when we deviate from that, it's really frustrating. Now,

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 2>but like knowing our capability as a team is really cool,

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like we're like still reaching that, but

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 2>we're getting there, and it's really just the small little

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 2>plays at this point.

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's that urgency we talk about too, right, Like.

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 5>When we now that we've kind of gotten like the

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 5>confidence in the team and what we can do, it's like, okay, well,

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.879
<v Speaker 5>like if we're in control of these things, let's step

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.960
<v Speaker 5>on the court with those in mind and still obviously

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 5>get better at the things we can tweak.

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, For the most.

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 6>Season, I've been like, heck, yeah.

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I know, you've been such a good cheerleader and now

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:49.959
<v Speaker 2>you got to get back into it.

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>You got to find a sense of urgency.

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Has kind of been our I guess motto through the

0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:56.399
<v Speaker 2>through the whole season.

0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's been really helpful.

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean it definitely reminds us to check back in

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 2>and lock in when we need to.

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hopefully from the beginning.

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Shopping with your parents can be embarrassing.

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 6>Why would they sell jeans with holes in them?

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to speak to the manager.

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.919

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 2>Another question on here says, what was your impressions of

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 2>each other before we got to Houston.

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 1>We all kind of knew each other.

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 5>Though, Yeah we had We've had a.

0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Lot of years together Micah for like a decade now.

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Time Mike and I met in twenty sixteen, isn't that Corey,

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:09.639
<v Speaker 2>We used to go.

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I won't. I'll say it. I used to go to

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the bar like every single day. Yeah we will.

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:19.360
<v Speaker 5>Twenty sixteen weekends it was our first time with national team,

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 5>and then on the weekends we just go up to

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 5>hermosains like have a great time, play beach, volleyball, play beach.

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would go.

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I would literally go from playing volleyball, race home and

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 2>then go to the beach and play volleyball all day. Yes,

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and now if I tried to do that, my legs

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 2>would break in half.

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, especially after national team practices, like because you're not

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 3>you're lifting, getting like a good hour hour and team

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.719
<v Speaker 3>minute lift in and then practicing.

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 4>For like three hours like it's very intense.

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:54.360
<v Speaker 1>There's no way we'd recover. Yeah, my body'd be dead. Yeah.

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I would just like be walking around on the beach

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:57.640
<v Speaker 2>like my legs would be in.

0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:58.240
<v Speaker 1>So much pain.

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>But I was like, oh, I get to go play

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 2>beach five all. Just do it, and then I would

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 2>wake up and do it again. The next day. I

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, how am I functioning? Oh I'm twenty three.

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't feel anything.

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel nothing. Yeah, I'm totally fine. Yeah, thirty two

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 2>hits a little bit different. Yeah, Jordan, you'll get there.

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 1>How's it? And the call? Truly? Wait?

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 2>How do you in my early twenty Oh I thought

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 2>you were thirty.

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 4>No mean literally twenty four?

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:38.160
<v Speaker 2>So okay, how do you feel after scoring after like a.

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Thirty point match?

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:40.360
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I've ever asked you that? Are you like after Yeah?

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 3>I will say after the Austin match, my shoulder was sore,

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 3>and I feel like usually my shoulder doesn't get sore

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 3>or tight, Like I feel like, I don't know. Yeah,

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 3>you take a lot of attempts I think to like

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 3>be like okay, wow, so.

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>We could give you more if you want, my god.

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, but I mean I feel like, honestly, the

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 3>reason I'm the most tired after matches is because of

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:20.680
<v Speaker 3>the talking, like after place during rallies, like trying to

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 3>communicate like that, yes, that's exhausting.

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not a rotation exactly, my coach, It's like it

0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>takes a lot out of us exactly.

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.920
<v Speaker 2>That part is really hard though, because I feel like

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 2>it's mentally draining to be talking every rotation. We know

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 2>also our rotations, but we also know what the other

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 2>what the rotations the other team is in, Like we

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:53.880
<v Speaker 2>go through scouting, we have to know all their stuff

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.439
<v Speaker 2>and we know what's going on on the other side

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 2>and what rotation they should be in they should have

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>pulled us, what rotation we should have been.

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 3>The rotation that they're in, but what they like are

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 3>most likely going to set, or like what their tendencies are,

0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 3>like the amount of information that's going on in our

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 3>brains during a game. I think it's like, what's so

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 3>cool about volleyball is there's so many different layers to it.

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 4>Like the first first learning, you're.

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.639
<v Speaker 3>Like, oh, three touches, boom, SIT's bike and then you're like,

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 3>whoa rotations, setter's back round, setter's.

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.359
<v Speaker 4>Front row, six two five one, like like there serve.

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like there's so many levels to it, And I

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 3>think that's what's I mean sports in general, I think

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 3>you can always find that, but I think volleyball is

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 3>there's so much going on that the casual viewer probably

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 3>has no idea about.

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, and it's all happening in like very very split seconds.

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 5>And the moment, like the momentum shifts that happen in volleyball,

0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 5>it's huge for our game.

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then like the out of rotations I started

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 2>to beat it dead horse, but like that is such

0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a momentum shift like that could do that.

0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that kind.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Of like catapulted us to like play even harder in

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the Austin game because we were just pissed off, like, oh,

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.359
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna call us out of rotation when like we

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.919
<v Speaker 2>didn't feel like we were in the wrong in the moment,

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:12.439
<v Speaker 2>but like technically, I guess we kind of I don't know,

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 2>but those are like infuriating moments that people don't realize.

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that that could like kind of make or

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:19.360
<v Speaker 2>break you. Like you could be like, oh, damn, we're

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.840
<v Speaker 2>out of rotation. We lost the point, like shoot, we

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:24.159
<v Speaker 2>needed that, or like, okay, you call us out of rotation.

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm angry at the rest and now we're staring

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 2>people down and now I'm getting thirty two points of whatever.

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think it is like a lot of

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 2>little nuances that people don't necessarily notice, which is so fun.

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 1>It's all our little secrets.

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 2>So favorite things about having each other on the team.

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>You guys can tell me.

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, like, I love playing skydow at

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the airport with you guys. It's like one of my

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>favorite sky joke. Could sponsor us, that would be really

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 2>great because we do play that a lot. No, I

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 2>think that. I mean, Mike, you I think we talked

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 2>about it. No, we didn't talk about this the other day.

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 2>But like, Mike, you're not even been on the court

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 2>as much with us. But I feel like Jordan, it's

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 2>been really fun and like a lot of pressure off

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:24.480
<v Speaker 2>of me to have you on the court this season,

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 2>just because I feel like we're both kind of in

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 2>that leadership role and so it's like nice to be

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 2>able to share the weight of that. And Mike, You're

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 2>just always a great time And I think that having

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 2>you on the sideline has been really cool. Just to

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 2>see you help Kaisa and Maddie walk has been awesome,

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:40.679
<v Speaker 2>and like seeing you kind of being a coaching role

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.679
<v Speaker 2>and still involved even though what you've been dealing with

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I know has been like very challenging. So I'm really

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:47.679
<v Speaker 2>proud of both of you.

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 6>Thank you.

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Mattie, I told you that. I told you that yesterday,

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 1>just like.

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 5>Watching you, you know, we didn't have the best start

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 5>to season, but like you were trying to find like Okay,

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:00.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to be more ball handily, I'm going to

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:04.119
<v Speaker 5>do the thing and like lead and I think like

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 5>after that game like game three we lost, you just

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 5>like turn it around, and I like think that's huge

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:13.120
<v Speaker 5>for our team. Like, yeah, JT, you're carrying a really

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 5>heavy scoring load, but like we needed some balance and

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 5>I think you guys found a really good like equilibrium there.

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>So watching you guys do that.

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 4>It's been really just like cool elevating. You know, yeah,

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 4>we're just elevate guys.

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I'm gonna tell the story. It's one of my

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:33.960
<v Speaker 5>first practices back and I like set Jess on a

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:36.320
<v Speaker 5>pipe and I don't know why, but I like felt

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 5>like being fruity and I like ran through said the

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 5>pipe and I was like, yes, elevate and like I

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 5>swear time flow.

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 1>She was like what did you just say? And I

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, don't make me say it again. Now it's

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a whole joke.

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.879
<v Speaker 6>The whole team is like what, Like, I'm just gonna

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:54.919
<v Speaker 6>give you guys on your toes.

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like now we're time. Every time someone goes

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 2>up to hit, I want to be like elevator.

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Instead of being like, yeah, okay, crush its elevate, go

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 1>get it. I was like I need I need some variety.

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.239
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard anyone say that, and it's just like

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>so uniquely you.

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 5>I would say, like, also, in addition to working with

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 5>both of you, it doesn't feel like work, and I

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:24.639
<v Speaker 5>think that's really rare, Like it feels heavy, Yeah, to

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 5>have friends who like can compete at a level like

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 5>we do. And also like you get each other off

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:34.720
<v Speaker 5>the court. It's just really special, so doesn't feel like work.

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel like we just have so much fun, and

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it's like really cool that we.

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 4>Can have so much fun while we're playing.

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 3>I think find that balance of like joking around but

0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 3>also being like super intentional and like staying locked in.

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:52.720
<v Speaker 3>And I think when you are playing at a high

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 3>level and you have the experience that like you guys

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 3>do it just I don't know, it's really fun to

0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 3>be teammate and joke around and whatever, but then like

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:05.760
<v Speaker 3>at the same time have each other's back on the court,

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 3>and I think that's really special. But sometimes I'm like, Okay,

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I do have to check myself because

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I just love having fun and giggling.

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes I'm like okay.

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Because yeah, sometimes though, like okay, the three of us,

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we can get away with it because like, Okay,

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I can joke and then I know how to like

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 2>when I need to do my job.

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Also, you guys like I can lock in and do

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>my job.

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 2>But then you have some teammates who like if you

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.959
<v Speaker 2>get too silly, then they're like, oh, I can get silly,

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 2>and then you're like, no, now the whole practice is

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 2>sloppy and silly or game like. Yeah, it's just gotten

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 2>too out of hand. So there's a fine line, and

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I think we walk it nicely most days. Some days

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 2>are a little unhinged, but.

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 1>You're found to like one.

0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do you guys have any special routines like travel,

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 2>favorite team meal that you have too, so that you can.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Share nap coffee? Nap coffee, Jordan, you eat a lot

<v Speaker 2>Is that how you get the flex so like big, yes,

0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 2>strong exactly.

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 4>So like a lot of people have been asking what.

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 3>My meal preth is for these big old bus schools

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:21.640

0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:27.920
