1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Did that surprise, you know, take your book back a

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: little bit.

3
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: That either to be a captain right away, it means

4
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: a lot of something that easy to do on take

5
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: for granted. I don't come in to try to, uh,

6
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: you know, earn a sea on my jersey. I just

7
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: come in to try to impact guys in a positive

8
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: way because I know I'm somebody that's been in the

9
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: league longer than a lot of guys in the locker

10
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: room house. They may look at me to see how

11
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 2: has he been able to sustain through good times and

12
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: through bad. So try to set an example like that

13
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: and it manifest into being a captain, And I'm going

14
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: to continue to try to do the same things that

15
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: I've been doing as far as you know, uplifting the guys,

16
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: just being a positive example. Have youth before. Yeah, I

17
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: was a captain in twenty one with the Raiders and

18
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: you've been there for I be there. That was my

19
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: third year year.

20
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: What do you take from from that experience being a

21
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: captain with the Raiders and bringing it into here. How

22
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: does that impact how you go about there?

23
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: Something I learned being a captain for the first time

24
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: was you don't have to be anybody other than yourself.

25
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: It's about finding your own leadership style. And I feel

26
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: like it's still unfolding for me. Even back then it

27
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: was still like a feeling out process, like do I

28
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: say a lot more or do I do different things?

29
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: You know? So now for me it's I feel more

30
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: comfortable and how I lead. It's saying things in the

31
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: hall of sometimes say things that need to be said,

32
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: but more so leading by example, encouraging guys when if

33
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: they may be in a rut or you know, things

34
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: may not be clicking, just being their form when some

35
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: people turn their back on or be like what's going

36
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: on with them? But just try to be there for people.

37
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: That's kind of more my leadership style.

38
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: Did it take you a while to find that here

39
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: or did it happen almost right away?

40
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: With guys? I feel like it starting right away because

41
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: I got here and I've never really been like one

42
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: of the oldest guys before, and here I am. You know,

43
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: I'll be thirty one in a couple of weeks, so

44
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: I know. Guys look to that, whether you know, no

45
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: matter what you done your career, it's like, Okay, it's

46
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: got to be here for a long time. How has

47
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: he been able to stay here? And so I take

48
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: that into account with like the you know, the decisions

49
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: that I make, the routine that I have, because you

50
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: never know who may be watching. So I try to

51
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: carry that into every aspect of the day.
