1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Oh, it's fun. Man. I think anytime you come back

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: this time of year, it's like the first day of school,

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: reconnecting when all your new friends. Kind of introducing the

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: new guys and bringing them up to speed. So obviously

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of changes, but just getting acclimated

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: to that and starting to get ready to roll. Yeah,

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: the beginning is really just an opportunity I think for

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: the guys to be around each other's working out, lifting,

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: in the weight room, you know, speed training, condition and

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: doing all that stuff, but doing it together. So we're

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: out there on the field, we're laughing, we're joking. I

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: think it gives us a good chance to, you know,

13
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: become teammates now, and it kind of starts here and

14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: goes all the way through to whenever we finish. I

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: think opportunity just to get to know what we want

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: to do as a team. You know, obviously offense defense,

17
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: but I think once you get to know each other,

18
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: you kind of know how we want to move as

19
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: a team, whether it's in the locker room, you know,

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: in the cafeteria when we're eating. I think all those

21
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: bonds are built now, and I think that allows us

22
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: to push each other allows us to understand what each

23
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: guy does well, and I think that's how you become

24
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: a team more than anything, more than XS, and I

25
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: think all that stuff is very valuable. Once you get

26
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: towards the end of the season, it's light harder, but

27
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: I think everyone understands we have to get better. Each

28
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: guy kind of comes in this time in a little

29
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: different stage. We got some really young guys, you got

30
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: guys like myself that's on the older end of the spectrum.

31
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: But everyone needs to come in and get better no

32
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: matter where you start. I think we want to leave

33
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: here in June feeling like we're better individually and obviously

34
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: better as a team. Just put your head down and work,

35
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's a lot obviously happening right now,

36
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: but it's not a lot that can get done as

37
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: far as the season. You know, only in April. It's

38
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: that time of year where you just need to work.

39
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: You know, you just need to keep at it day

40
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: in and day out. We're gonna have some rough days,

41
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: some hard days, but you need to come back and

42
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: have the same mentality of just working hard and getting better.

43
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: And I think if we do that, you know, the

44
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: whole spring, we give ourselves a good chance
