Speaker 1: Hey, Christian, Christian, what do you what are you hoping
Speaker 1: to achieved Thursday night? In your second time out there.
Speaker 1: I think the same mindset is is last week. Just
Speaker 1: make sure I go out execute, stay stay on task
Speaker 1: with everything, and stay on plan, trying not to get
Speaker 1: behind the sticks, and just do everything I can to
Speaker 1: put our team in the best situation to win the
Speaker 1: ball game. How has it been difficult to remain patient,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of waiting for these moments to come? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't really say either way. I mean
Speaker 1: I just know that that, you know, I prepare every
Speaker 1: week the same um as if I'm going to play,
Speaker 1: and because you never really know when that opportunity is
Speaker 1: gonna come. So that's that's kind of been my mindset
Speaker 1: towards it. M How did you How did you feel
Speaker 1: that Saturday night once you watch the film? Uh? You know,
Speaker 1: I felt like a lot of good stuff to learn
Speaker 1: from basically you know what what I had said afterwards
Speaker 1: it was pretty spot on. Um, you know, just continuing
Speaker 1: to grow from that and use it as a user
Speaker 1: stepping stone to to get better and should come out
Speaker 1: and be as prepared as I can for the next opportunity.
Speaker 1: Have you, Um, have you been getting more reps this
Speaker 1: weekend practice in preparation for Thursday night? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: we've been well, getting rests to practice. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: just whenever, whenever again, whenever that opportunity comes, you know,
Speaker 1: take full advantage of it. I think has really been
Speaker 1: what I've been doing, the same stuff in the film room. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel ready, so um, you know, just
Speaker 1: continuing to grow in that aspect as well. Though. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna be in State College this weekend for the game? Um?
Speaker 1: Thinking about it. Not not quite sure yet. I know
Speaker 1: my little brother places for a soccer game up there,
Speaker 1: so if I do go up, that will be one
Speaker 1: of the main reasons why I do. But still trying
Speaker 1: to figure out the plans with that. Christian. Is it
Speaker 1: weird to kind of think that it could be the
Speaker 1: last time you play in a game for you know,
Speaker 1: eleven months, you know, I mean I really don't think
Speaker 1: you can look at it that way. Um, And you
Speaker 1: know it's it's everyone thinks it's cliche, and everyone thinks
Speaker 1: it's you know this billboard you know statement, But I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's very very true. You look at the
Speaker 1: situation down in Dallas right now. Um, you know, you're
Speaker 1: two snaps, three snaps away from playing. So for me,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, whatever happens happens, and it's out
Speaker 1: of my control. But I still need to stay in
Speaker 1: that mindset, in that mind frame where I'm preparing the best,
Speaker 1: the best that I can each week. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: given given the input and everything that I'm how to
Speaker 1: put into it. So just continue to prepare as much
Speaker 1: as I can for when that opportunity does come. Christ
Speaker 1: you just mentioned your situation in Dallas. Do you do
Speaker 1: you keep track of the other rookie at all? You
Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on what they're doing, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think, uh, you know, for example, like with Dak.
Speaker 1: You know, I met Dak I think about a year
Speaker 1: and a half ago now, two years ago, and you
Speaker 1: know we've kept in contact ever since. I think it
Speaker 1: was more you know, I don't I wouldn't say it's uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I I don't really know what what the
Speaker 1: motive behind that question is. But I think it's more
Speaker 1: like with with those guys, uh, you know, I'd like
Speaker 1: to see what they're doing. Um, I hope, hope that
Speaker 1: they're doing well. Like in the case with DAC. You're
Speaker 1: happy for what he's been doing.
