WEBVTT - Christian Hackenberg Conference Call (08/30/16)

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Christian, Christian, what do you what are you hoping

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to achieved Thursday night? In your second time out there.

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I think the same mindset is is last week. Just

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>make sure I go out execute, stay stay on task

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>with everything, and stay on plan, trying not to get

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>behind the sticks, and just do everything I can to

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>put our team in the best situation to win the

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>ball game. How has it been difficult to remain patient,

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of waiting for these moments to come? Uh,

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can't really say either way. I mean

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I just know that that, you know, I prepare every

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>week the same um as if I'm going to play,

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 1>and because you never really know when that opportunity is

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna come. So that's that's kind of been my mindset

0:00:54.800 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>towards it. M How did you How did you feel

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that Saturday night once you watch the film? Uh? You know,

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I felt like a lot of good stuff to learn

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>from basically you know what what I had said afterwards

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty spot on. Um, you know, just continuing

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to grow from that and use it as a user

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>stepping stone to to get better and should come out

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and be as prepared as I can for the next opportunity.

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Have you, Um, have you been getting more reps this

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>weekend practice in preparation for Thursday night? Yeah, I mean

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>we've been well, getting rests to practice. Um, you know,

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>just whenever, whenever again, whenever that opportunity comes, you know,

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>take full advantage of it. I think has really been

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>what I've been doing, the same stuff in the film room. Um,

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I feel ready, so um, you know, just

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>continuing to grow in that aspect as well. Though. Are

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you gonna be in State College this weekend for the game? Um?

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Thinking about it. Not not quite sure yet. I know

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>my little brother places for a soccer game up there,

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>so if I do go up, that will be one

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>of the main reasons why I do. But still trying

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 1>to figure out the plans with that. Christian. Is it

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>weird to kind of think that it could be the

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>last time you play in a game for you know,

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:58.399
<v Speaker 1>eleven months, you know, I mean I really don't think

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you can look at it that way. Um, And you

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>know it's it's everyone thinks it's cliche, and everyone thinks

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>it's you know this billboard you know statement, But I

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>mean it's it's very very true. You look at the

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>situation down in Dallas right now. Um, you know, you're

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>two snaps, three snaps away from playing. So for me,

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, whatever happens happens, and it's out

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of my control. But I still need to stay in

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that mindset, in that mind frame where I'm preparing the best,

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the best that I can each week. Um, you know,

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>given given the input and everything that I'm how to

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>put into it. So just continue to prepare as much

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>as I can for when that opportunity does come. Christ

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you just mentioned your situation in Dallas. Do you do

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you keep track of the other rookie at all? You

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of keep an eye on what they're doing, you know,

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think, uh, you know, for example, like with Dak.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I met Dak I think about a year

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and a half ago now, two years ago, and you

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>know we've kept in contact ever since. I think it

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>was more you know, I don't I wouldn't say it's uh,

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I I don't really know what what the

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>motive behind that question is. But I think it's more

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>like with with those guys, uh, you know, I'd like

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to see what they're doing. Um, I hope, hope that

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>they're doing well. Like in the case with DAC. You're

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>happy for what he's been doing.
