So whatever that role may be this year, 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm just going to look to again progress as well 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: as UM find as many opportunities that the team needs 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: to be filled.

How 44 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: are you? Um? Well? Good? UM? I think I read 45 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: were you at Ben Watson's Boston Pray events last weekend? 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: I was? I was. Tell me a little bit about 47 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: the event. Why did you feel it was important for 48 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: you to be there? And what was it like to 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: be at the Boston Pray events? Um. Obviously, through the 50 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: times that we're experiencing right now, dealing with trying to 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: address police fatality as well as system of racism that's 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: going on in an area, a lot of people are 53 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: working hard, whether donating, protesting, a lot of different ways 54 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: they want to make an impact. And I felt like 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Ben's event was the perfect way to kind of rejuvenate 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: yourself as well as continue to use your platform to 57 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: make an impact to create awareness. So a lot of 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: times you begin to kind of wear it down with 59 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: the talk, with the constant talk and the constant creating awareness, 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: where you need to kind of regroup and trying to 61 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: feel your tank up, so to speak, in a way 62 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: to continue to create awareness. And I thought that was 63 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to do so, being in the common 64 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: that day, What was it like, what did you see 65 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: and did it accomplish that? And refill your tank? I 66 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: would say the only time would tell whether or not 67 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: everything we're doing will having a huge effect. But me 68 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: personally seeing everybody there just allows you to see how 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: much everybody wants to be a part of change, be 70 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: a part of history, and address um the many the 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: many moments that we've been exposed to within within the 72 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: past few weeks, as well as trying to address things 73 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: have been going on for hundreds of years, So that 74 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: was an opportunity for a lot of people to express 75 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: themselves and also create a witness.

I 118 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: would say that I've always said the approaching oth for 119 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: you to be a great leader, you have to first 120 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: be a great follower, UM, being in being in college. 121 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: Since you bring being in college, you have the opportunity 122 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: to learn. When you get in there, you can with it. 123 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: You don't know everything, so you have to go into 124 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: and kind of learn a roads a little bit and 125 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: take in as much advice and leadership qualities from those veterans. 126 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: And it's the same thing in the pros. You have 127 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: found the right guys to surround it up with the 128 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: older guys and the veterans um and pick their brain 129 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: and be a great follower seeing the things that they 130 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: teach and the things that they emphasize, and in turn, 131 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: you'll be able to build um your qualities and your 132 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: character traits that you want to use and add it 133 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: to your your repertoire meaning personality traits. And if I 134 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: can to follow up, Juan, how has the pandemic made 135 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: that more of a challenge different this year? I will 136 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: as far as leadership, yeah, as far as learning and 137 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: trying to go about the process that you just um 138 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 1: talked about, it doesn't really hurt that much, simply because 139 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: we still have our virtual meetings and we always we 140 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: have cell phones and we have face time and things 141 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: like that. We're able to see each other and we're 142 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: able still able to talk, and we're still able to learn. 143 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: Like seeing each other doesn't stop the learning process. So 144 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: being able to have these phones you just pick up 145 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: and look and look at each other and be able 146 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: to still pick each other's brains is also a huge 147 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: thing for us.

Is there a way to kind of connect 174 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: with them, to let them know that you're kind of 175 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: a sounding border, a mentor for them, even though you 176 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: haven't had the benefit of being in the locker room 177 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: or on the fable of them. Yeah, for sure. I 178 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: think our virtual meetings have played a big part. Obviously, 179 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: things are a lot different. They're in the space now 180 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: that none of us have really experienced as far as 181 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: like us not being in the facility and experience in 182 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: the mini camp atmosphere and things like that. So it's 183 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: a huge adjustment for all of them as well as us. 184 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: But we still have opportunities to see them and kind 185 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: of create those atmosphere as much as we can, um, 186 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: So they'll be able to at least get to know 187 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: us as people as well as teammates, and so we 188 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: will continue to try to build that camaraderie get to 189 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: know them as well. Um. But at the end of 190 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: the day, it's a huge, huge adjustment for all of us, 191 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: so we're kind of just adapt them with the time. 192 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: Thank you and question. Hey, Joan, thank you again for 193 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: doing this. Jim McBride kind of stole my question. Thanks Jim, 194 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: but I'll but I'll kind of add on to it. 195 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: Do you feel you're you've gotten to a point in 196 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: year three where you are comfortable trying to help the 197 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: younger kids. Uh, you were there once not too long ago, 198 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: and you know what it's like to pick up the 199 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: Patriots defense. Are you at a point where you feel 200 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: comfortable enough that you can kind of share and help 201 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: the young guys too? For sure? I definitely think that 202 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: being in a position where you are at you have 203 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: played for a few for a few years, and you 204 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: do have knowledge, I feel like the best benefit will 205 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: be able to share that knowledge. It's no good to 206 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: have a knowledge if you don't want to share with anybody. 207 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: So me, not being too far removed from those experiences, 208 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: I think I will have a lot to offer. We 209 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: have rookies that aren't afraid to ask questions, so and 210 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: that's a big thing, not being afraid to ask questions 211 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: and not being intimidated by the atmosphere. And we also 212 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: as older people, want to create a safe space in 213 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: which which they feel comfortable asking those questions. We're going 214 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: to need them down the line. So of course we're 215 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: going to uh, we want to create that space and 216 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: allowed them the opportunity to ask any questions they may 217 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: have and be able to help them along the way, 218 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: just like I was help Thank you, Wow, all right, Juan, 219 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: I had tried to keep this within fifteen minutes.
