1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, it's your friend Kate Max and welcome back

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: to Post Run High. Today's guest is Tim Tebow. We

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: started the day together with a walk through Central Park

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: with his wife Demi before heading back to Tim's hotel

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: to record this podcast episode. And Guys, while we were

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: in the park, Tim and I threw the football around

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: a bit, and I think one of the best things

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: my dad taught me growing up was how to throw

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: a football. So shout out to my father John, because

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: my muscle memory definitely kicked in and I managed to

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: not embarrass myself in front of Tim. We filmed this

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: episode on November fourth, which was the same day Tim's

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: new book, Look Again, came out, so it was extra

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: special getting to hang out with him and Demi on

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: his book release day. In this conversation, we talk about

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: what fitness looks like for him now, becoming a dad

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: for the first time, his early life, his iconic college

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: football career, a bit on his time in the NFL,

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: what he's up to now, and what inspired his new.

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Book, Look Again.

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: Today's episode with Tim is really an inspiring conversation that

22
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: reminds you what it means to live life with purpose

23
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: and It also showed me that Tim Tebow could make

24
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: an entire career out of just being a motivational speaker,

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: because he really is that good at talking. This is

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow on Post Run High. Let's get into it.

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow, Welcome to Post Run High.

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you so much. I just I'm recovering a

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: little bit from our speed walk. Yep, it's aggressive. It

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: was fast as aggressive as some of the people that

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: bumped us on the way.

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guy that almost took us out for running.

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: For walking in the zoo almost got taken out.

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: Tim was like, not really.

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: I feel like you were a little shocked, and I

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: felt like I got a little protective and slightly agitated

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: at that guy too, Like what do you have to

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: do that is that important? Or do you really think

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: you're running for gold right now? I know, Like it's

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: not just so down go to the side, It's okay,

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: pick back up. You know, the.

42
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: People in ten Park, the runners and the bikers, get

43
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: really into it. So like normally I am so cautious

44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: of not saying and not being in their way because

45
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: like I get it. But at the same time, yeah,

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: that was overwhelming.

47
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: But I get it too. If like you're going for gold. Yeah,

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: but you're not. You're in between ninety four people in

49
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: Central Park.

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, guys, for context, we were just on a

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: walk in Central Park. It's about I don't even know

52
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: nine am. So it's prime running biking time. So yeah,

53
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: we were in the midst of a lot of a

54
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: lot of runners booking it.

55
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: And it was the three of us.

56
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: It was Demi, Tim's wife, Tim and I and Jeremy,

57
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: my husband, walking in front of us.

58
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: We gotta include Jeremy. Jeremy was part of it. Jeremy

59
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: was a give me the most talented ones. He was

60
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: filming why turning backwards first.

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: Jeremy did catch.

62
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: A poll one time. I got the shoulder a little bit.

63
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got. Today was epic. We both got to

64
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: throw the ball with Tim, which was pretty cool. I

65
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: throw the football. We brought that.

66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: We had that prop in our car from our bachelor

67
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: bachelorette party and it came in handy.

68
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: Well I guess it did.

69
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, So we went on a walk.

70
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: We normally start out this video either with a run

71
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: or a walk or some form of movement. We've done

72
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: so many different types of things, going to the gym

73
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: with people. So I love to start out the podcast

74
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: by just asking about everybody's kind of fitness. And you know,

75
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: I know we talked a little bit about this on

76
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: our walk, but you and your wife just had a baby.

77
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: Your daughter is.

78
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: Three months old, so you know, I'm curious what movement

79
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: looks like in your house right now and what it

80
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: looks like for you and you know how you guys

81
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: are prioritizing with the news.

82
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: Well, it's so important. Yeah, we really believe in it

83
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 3: for so many reasons. We really believe that taking care

84
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: of your body and being a good steward of it

85
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: and every way form and fashion is so important and

86
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: it's critical. It's critical to giving you the opportunity to

87
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: truly strive to be your best. You know, I really

88
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: believe that there's a lot of people that they want

89
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: to be their best, but they actually don't put in

90
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: the right fuel or the right sleep or the right

91
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: exercise to be their best. In other areas, maybe they're

92
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: so focused on business or their career or something, but

93
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: actually the right movement, the right sleep, the right fuel,

94
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: all of that is just going to make you better

95
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: with more clarity, with more energy, with more drive for

96
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: that thing that you're striving for. So I think it

97
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: is just it's crucial. I love that I've gotten a

98
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: chance to really train so much of my life because

99
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: I was trying to be my best for a game.

100
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: And a lot of people say, well, you're when you're

101
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: because you're done playing, you'll take it easy now, And

102
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: I say no, because a lot of it wasn't just

103
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: for a game. It's because I want to be the

104
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: best at everything that I get to do. I want

105
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: to be my best at everything that I get to do,

106
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: you know, especially when I'm doing things that are more

107
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: important than a game. And so if I would give

108
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: all that effort and diet and nutrition and everything to

109
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: a game, why would I give less for things that

110
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: are more important. And so taking care of our bodies

111
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: and taking care of our brains and focusing on sleep

112
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: and all of the things are so important to us.

113
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: And so it's also where we get a lot of

114
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: quality time. We love going to the gym together. We

115
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: love getting in there for edsana, We do the red light,

116
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: we do the EMF mats, we do the we have

117
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: a cold tub. Jimmy doesn't like that very much, So

118
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: it's just not a big fan. Every now and then

119
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: I'll talk her into it. We love going for walks,

120
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: We love getting the chance to have our coffee together

121
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: and find whichever protein we want to put into our coffee,

122
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: and and so it's just it's just been a fun

123
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: journey of something that we both love doing together. And

124
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: there's slight differences that we enjoy more, but it's like

125
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: we talk about it, it's fun. So it's really good

126
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: for quality time and it's good for our body and

127
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: our brain and relationship.

128
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I completely agree. I feel like having a.

129
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: Partner that you can work out with and move your

130
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: body with is so good for your relationship dynamic.

131
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a big believer in it.

132
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Jeremy and I go for runs together, we go for

133
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: walk together, we go to the gym together. So I

134
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: love knowing that that's a big part of your life.

135
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: And I do have to say, like I have, you know,

136
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I have two brothers and a lot of friends that

137
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: played sports in college, not not professionally, but I you know,

138
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: hearing what you said about you know, obviously when you're

139
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: training for a sport, there is a lot of intensity

140
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: involved with that. From like what you're eating, to what

141
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: you're doing to work out on and off the field,

142
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: and a lot of people do kind of step away

143
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: from that type of lifestyle when they're done playing that sport,

144
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: but it is really nice knowing that you've stuck with

145
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: it and it just is a part of your lifestyle

146
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: because it is interesting, like I'm sure you have a

147
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: lot of friends that once they stepped away from the

148
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: game or from sports that they were playing at a

149
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: certain level, they kind of didn't prioritize fitness as.

150
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: Much because so many times you're training and training and training,

151
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: and it's very easy to get burnt out from it.

152
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: And so what's happened to, you know, some of my

153
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: friends and teammates is they've been burnt out, so when

154
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: they stop, they really want to take a break from it,

155
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: but then it actually slows down your drive for wanting

156
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: to do it. And I feel like if you can

157
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: push through it and you don't have to necessarily always

158
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: do with the same intensity or with the same kind

159
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: of vision or goal in mind, but doing enough to

160
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: have your body be active. And I think it's also

161
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: important to be around the right people that are doing it,

162
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: because if we're around the right people, it becomes contagious

163
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: and we want to do it. So like when we're

164
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: around friends we're playing pickleball, it's contagious. You want to play.

165
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, it's two hours later and

166
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: you're like, we've been running for two hours, right. Or

167
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: we'll go to the field and we'll do sprints together

168
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: and then it's so fun because we're pushing each other

169
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: and Timmy's like, I don't know if I can do

170
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: a cut three hundred, and I'll be encouraging her and

171
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: I'll say the same thing and she'll be encouraging me.

172
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: And then we'll go to the gym and so it's

173
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: really about trying to be your best. But then it's

174
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: also about how the right people around you can inspire you,

175
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: which just means to be filled with the urge to

176
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: do something right. And so that inspiration when you're around

177
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: the right people, it does feel you with the urge

178
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: to do more, to be healthier, to go a little

179
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: bit further, to train a little bit more, because you

180
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: want to be your best for what you're pursuing, but

181
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: you want to be your best for them too. Yeah.

182
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: No, and I feel like it too.

183
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: For you It's like when you stepped away from football,

184
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: you then leaned into being a sports analyst ones the

185
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: end in the SEC. So it's kind of like showing

186
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: up for game day in a different way, right, Like

187
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: you want to feel your best when you're on camera,

188
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: and I just feel like getting a good workout in

189
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: always makes it feel.

190
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: Always, it always helps, And I really do believe, and

191
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: I think there would be a lot of experts that

192
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: would back this up, but when you are exercising and

193
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: your strength training and you're you're doing the right exercises

194
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: that it actually gives you more clarity in your brain.

195
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: And that's so important. I think it gets missed a lot,

196
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: and it's just so important. And then we get into

197
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: you know, all of the right supplements and things to

198
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: do and that are good for your body but also

199
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: for your brain, you know, And I love that. Like

200
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: one of my favorite supplements is a supplement called an

201
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: iran that I found out by a bunch first heard

202
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: about a decade ago by a bunch of the Steelers

203
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: defense and I'm like, what is this. This is the

204
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: best defense in the NFL. And it's a supplemment that

205
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 3: that helps you focus and I'm like, this is awesome.

206
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: Why have I not used this my whole life and career?

207
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: Did you start using it? Of course I did. Yeah,

208
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: I'm like I.

209
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: Need it's awesome. But then so like me and Demmy,

210
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 3: we like, we'll study and we'll look at all stuff,

211
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: and we send stuff back and forth when I'm not

212
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: with her, she's not with me, And so then it

213
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: becomes a journey of like, Okay, what do you think

214
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: is best? And we talk about it. We have good conversations.

215
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: So I feel like it just continues, just the health

216
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: journey of learning and being like, man, we've done this

217
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: and it was wrong, or man, we've been doing this

218
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: by accident and this has been really good for us.

219
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: Okay, what are some of the things that you tried

220
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: out health and fitness wise that we're wrong and what

221
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: now is working for you?

222
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: Well, I would say it's wrong for us. Is early on,

223
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: you know, we were so many nutritionists would be like, okay,

224
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: before games are big practices. You got a car blowed

225
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: and I just am not a believer in that, And

226
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: so I got far away from that now and I'm

227
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: closer to what a ketogenic diet would look like. It's

228
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: a little bit different, probably closer to modified Atkins, but

229
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 3: people don't know.

230
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: Speaking Brothers language.

231
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: So it's really a low carb, low sugar, moderate protein,

232
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: and pretty high fat diet. And sometimes I'll up my

233
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: protein a little bit more. But I've really felt like

234
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: that has worked well for me and it's something that

235
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 3: I enjoy and it's easy for me to keep doing,

236
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: so I really like it. And plus I feel like

237
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: it gives me a whole lot of focus and I

238
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: guess brain energy would be a good way to say it.

239
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: And I just I love that.

240
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you stepped away from football, what were you

241
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: most excited to kind of turn down with the fitness,

242
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously it's an adjustment. It's like you're

243
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: not doing the same workouts that you were doing. I'm

244
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: sure when you were training, which were.

245
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, sometimes I still did a lot of it, and

246
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: sometimes I got to remind myself. I'm like and almost

247
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: my subconscious like, I'm I'm not having to train to

248
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: go compete. I don't have to do this, you know,

249
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: three ret max today. I don't have to do it. Man,

250
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm a little run down. I've been flying, I've been traveling,

251
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: you know, just get a quality workout in or just

252
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: get some movement, but don't kill yourself. Because one of

253
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: the things that I feel like I made the mistake

254
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: in years and years and years, and it took until

255
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: I found a few of the right trainers to help

256
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: me with this is one of the things I just

257
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: messed up on a lot was I was overtrained and

258
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: I was under recovered, and I just lived in a

259
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: state of being overtrained because I would wake up and

260
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: go train again, and wake up and train again, wake

261
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: up and train again, and I just thought, if some's good,

262
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: more is better. And so I just did a lot

263
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: to actually break down my own body and didn't actually

264
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: give myself enough time and nutrients and sleep to recover

265
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: because it was just work, work, work, to try to

266
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: be your best. But I could have learned at an

267
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: earlier age to work smarter than just harder.

268
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, No, it's true.

269
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's something that a lot of

270
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: athletes have to like slowly figure out. And now with

271
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: some like technology like or rings and stuff, I feel

272
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: like it's a lot easier you have one, it's a

273
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: lot easier to track those types of stuff.

274
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's actually super disappointing.

275
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: Your orring Yes, why what is your.

276
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: Because sometimes you wake up and I'm like, man, that

277
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: was a good night's sleep and it's like thirty six

278
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: minutes of deep sleep, and you're like, I know, it's

279
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: so depressing.

280
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: My sleep was horrible last night because and I looked

281
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: and when I looked at my ordering same thing, I

282
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: was like, what I felt like I slept pretty good.

283
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: And this is another area that Demmy crushes me at.

284
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: She'll sleep like some nights two or three hours less

285
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: than me for whatever reason, and it's like deep sleep

286
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: twice mine, rim sleep twice mine, like, and I'm like,

287
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: how in the world is this happening? Like it's she

288
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: just crushes me out. So I work a lot at

289
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: trying to figure out how I can sleep better.

290
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like sleep is like one of the

291
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: most important things to like feeling good in a day.

292
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: It's actually wild how important it is.

293
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: It's crazy, and you look at all of the studies

294
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: and what it does, and it's actually one of the

295
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: things that gets me a little bit frustrated with the

296
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: education system of our young people is there are so

297
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: many schools that are telling these kids that you need

298
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: to wake up at five point thirty because you have

299
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: to get on the bus or you have to leave,

300
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: and you have to be a class, you know, starting

301
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: at seven, and then they're going to have after school curriculum,

302
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna have homework. And now there's there in these

303
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: peak years of development and they're not getting the sleep.

304
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: And so a lot of kids that are around us

305
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: and nieces and nephews, and I just encourage them, like no,

306
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 3: that that class is not as important as you getting

307
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: two more hours of sleep. I really believe that, And

308
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: it's one of the things that I am for education.

309
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: I am pro it, I am, but I am not

310
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: it to the detriment of young people not getting sleep.

311
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, So okay, Tim Tebow, what time should we be

312
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: sleeping until in the morning?

313
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: What should we like? What time should kids be sleeping?

314
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: I would not be the best expert, and I would

315
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: not There are a lot of better experts on me

316
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: than that. Ye like doctor Aman who I had just

317
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: got to meet with last week. You know, he'd be

318
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: a good one to talk to you, because I'm going

319
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: to pitch for so many But I would say push

320
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: it back to like a nine. But then I also

321
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: encourage them to get to sleep at like a ten

322
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: pm or nine pm, so that you are for young people,

323
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: you should be getting at least a minimum of eight hours,

324
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: but closer to a nine or ten, especially when you're

325
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: growing and developing and hitting puberty. Like it's just so important.

326
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: A little bit different.

327
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: But sometimes I think about this, like when I sleep

328
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: in on a weekday until like nine or eight thirty,

329
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: which is rare, I feel like now I'm getting up

330
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: a lot earlier. But when I sleep into those times

331
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: on a weekday, I think to myself, I'm like, damn,

332
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Like there's high school and middle school students out here

333
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: are getting up at six thirty. If I can't get

334
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: up and these kids can, like, what am I doing

335
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: with my life?

336
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: But I think that's one of the things I have

337
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: to reframe our brain, and that is not being lazy.

338
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: It's actually being productive. It is helping your And now

339
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: you're seeing so many studies about how it helps in

340
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: longevity and fighting aging and how sleep is just so

341
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: important and I need help. So maybe y'all have good

342
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: tips and tricks. I try to sleep in and I can't.

343
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: I just wake up.

344
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: Well, I have a baby, so it's like and.

345
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: That just adds to it. But it's like, oh man,

346
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: I can sleep until eight right five am? Boom, yeah,

347
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: wide awake, Like dang it, I just want to sleep

348
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: for a few more hours.

349
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: Gosh, get this guy, get this guy some let me sleep.

350
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Meant that Phil said those things are magic? Really yeah,

351
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: let me sleep. This is so good.

352
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: It's never heard. Oh okay, what is it like melatonin?

353
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: It's like, I think it's like melatonin. There's also magnesium

354
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: in it. But I swear when I take them, I

355
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: feel like I'm like having some sort of like witch

356
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: potion because the way you sleep.

357
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: On it is insane. So maybe try those out.

358
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Well I'm curious. Did you grow up with

359
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: parents that were really active, Like, how did you, at

360
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: a young age get so into sports.

361
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: Well, I'm the baby of five and a missionary family,

362
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: and I mean you kind of learned to just compete

363
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 3: to get food off of the table. And our family

364
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: and our family is so in degree competitive that it

365
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: kind of blow your mind. Like sometimes when we're together

366
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: for Thanksgiving and Christmas, we won't even play like board

367
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: games because you know how it's going to end. It's

368
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: just so intense, but it is also some of my

369
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: favorite memories. Like, we love very intense and we compete

370
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: the same way, and so I love it. But my

371
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: whole family was so competitive. And one of the things

372
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: that I love being the baby of five and having

373
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: siblings that are three, six, nine, and twelve years older

374
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: than me is they would never let me win. And

375
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: I'm so grateful for that, because I'm competing against you know,

376
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: brothers and sisters that are older than me, and they

377
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: won't let me win. And so you know, when you

378
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: do win, it's because you've earned it and that you're

379
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: you're finding ways to adapt and finding ways even though

380
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: you might be smaller or not as strong or all

381
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: these other things. But it taught you so much. So

382
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: then you go compete against kids your own age and

383
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: you're like, man, this is easier. And so that was

384
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: really helpful, helpful for me. But then also just a

385
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: mom and a dad that were very active. And my

386
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: mom would take her little two pound weights and she

387
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 3: would walk several miles every morning and and she would,

388
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 3: I mean every morning. And now she still gets in

389
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 3: the pool and she swims back and forth and she

390
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: does all her exercises she's so disciplined and consistent. And

391
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 3: my dad was always someone that's very active, even though

392
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: it wasn't ever about lifting weights, but just just going

393
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: to work and being so active wherever we were, whatever

394
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: we were doing. And one of the things that my

395
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: dad did that was so special for me was he

396
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: just always supported us so much in every way he

397
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: could with our dreams, of most importantly believing in us.

398
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: Like truly, he was the biggest advocate of speaking life

399
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: into me and believing in me. And I can't tell

400
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: you how many times, in games and practices and moments

401
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: of disappointment, I would hear my mom and my dad's

402
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: voice in my head. I would hear their words of encouragement.

403
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: I would hear the songs they sang. I would hear

404
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: the prayers they prayed. I would hear the words of

405
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: belief in my head.

406
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: What were some of those things that they would be

407
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: saying to you in your head? Like, what were the

408
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: things replaying for you?

409
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 3: I was a miracle baby, and the doctors wanted to

410
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: abort me, and they didn't think I was even a baby.

411
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: At first, I thought I was a tumor. And then

412
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: there was all these issues and My mom even went

413
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: to a coma for part of the pregnancy, and she

414
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: had amba dysentery and the placenta wasn't I only had

415
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: a tiny bit that was attached. And my parents just

416
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 3: trusted God and gave me a chance. And I was

417
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: a miracle baby that was malnourished. But I was very

418
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: but I made up for it quickly.

419
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: Yes, And I was gonna say.

420
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 3: My first nickname from my siblings was actually Timmy the tumor,

421
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: so I had that going for me. It's not an

422
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 3: easy nickname to break, but I tell that story to

423
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: say that. Then my parents would always before I go

424
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: to bed, they would sit on the edge of my

425
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: bed and they would say, Hey, Timmy, I want you

426
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: to know God spared you for a reason because you

427
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: have a great purpose in life. There's a reason that

428
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: you're here. There's people that you get to impact. There's

429
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 3: something great that you can do. God's given you abilities.

430
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: Will you use it? But then will you use it

431
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 3: to help people? And over and over and over and

432
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: over and over? And you know what happens when you

433
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: hear something over and over and over again, You start

434
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: to believe in You start to believe that you can

435
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 3: make a difference. You start to believe that you can

436
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: strive for something. You start to truly believe, even though

437
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: there's no evidence yet that you could do something of

438
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: significance and meaning. And I'm just so grateful for it.

439
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 3: But then my dad also so many ways backed it

440
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: up and believing in us when we're never blessed with

441
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 3: a lot of money or you know, my my parents

442
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: just gave everything to be able to help those that

443
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 3: could never do anything for them, and it's one of

444
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: the reasons they are my greatest heroes. But for example,

445
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: one Christmas, I'd asked my dad if I could get

446
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: some weight so I could train to try to be

447
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 3: my best because I, you know, I first learned about

448
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: weight training how important it is for an athlete, and

449
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: we just couldn't afford to buy weights. So my dad

450
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 3: stayed up for nights and nights in a row welding

451
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: together different weights from some PVC pipes and some other

452
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: things that people gave him, and then put together a

453
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: weight set. And I still have some of that in

454
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: my parents' house in our barn to this day. And

455
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 3: I you know, it wasn't fancy, but there was a

456
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: level of determination I had when I went in there,

457
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 3: because I thought, Man, if my dad went to that

458
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: work to do this for me, then I am going

459
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: to use this till at rust And now if you

460
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: walk in there, it's all rusty, but it has so

461
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 3: much meaning to me. And there was also a mentality

462
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: that came with it. Now there's a lot of kids

463
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: that have fancy weight sets and gym memberships, but what

464
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: shows up and here is heart and determination and grit.

465
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

466
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: That can't be taught.

467
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't pay for it, and it really can't

468
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: be taught. It has to come from within you.

469
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: And what I think it can be shown. I don't

470
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: think it can be taught in the sense of just

471
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: learning a lesson, but shown. And I get to see

472
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: a level of grit and even a different way from

473
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 3: my parents, a level of grit and what they were doing,

474
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: a level of determination when other people would tell them,

475
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 3: they're crazy, you can't do this, Why would you do this?

476
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: Why would you move to the Philippines with four kids

477
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: and have a fifth one over there? That's crazy, you know.

478
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 3: But they were so called and they believed in it

479
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 3: so deeply, and it's so contagious when you're around people

480
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: like that.

481
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I feel like too.

482
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: It's you know, especially now it's like you have a daughter,

483
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like there's often times like for

484
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: our kids, it's like we want them to feel so

485
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: comfortable and we want to give them everything that they

486
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: need to succeed at the things that they.

487
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: Show interest in.

488
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: But from your experience, you know, it's kind of like

489
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: there's a double edged sword a.

490
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: Little bit right, Yes, there's such a double edged short

491
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: with it. You do. Like, man, we want to be

492
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 3: able to provide and protect everything we possibly can for Daphne,

493
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's we learn so much

494
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: from struggle. We learn so much from setbacks. We learn

495
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: so much from like think about how the body develops

496
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 3: and lifting weights, it tears down and it builds back stronger.

497
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: That's also how resilience is built and determination in the

498
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: right mindset. And so yes, we do want to protector

499
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 3: from everything, but there's some things that you really shouldn't

500
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: protect her from. There's some things that hey, you know,

501
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: you get knocked down, like uh, more than just maybe

502
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 3: helping her up, it's that we would speak that life

503
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: into it or weird say you can do this, you

504
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: can get back up, because life's going to knock you

505
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: down and there's gonna be obstacles. But we love you

506
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 3: so much, regardless. God loves you so much, regardless. We

507
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: believe in you. Strive to be your best, not strive

508
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: to be the best. Strive to be your best, because

509
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: when you're striving to be the best and something, it

510
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's always wrong. But we live in a

511
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: society that so quickly looks at comparing to one another.

512
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: I saw one study that said twelve percent of our

513
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: daily thoughts are spent in some form of comparison. And

514
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: if we live a life of comparison, we're going to

515
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: live a life of not being grateful. Because I don't

516
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 3: believe that you can be grateful and be comparing yourself

517
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: to others at the same time. And we can go

518
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 3: back and forth, but I don't think you can do

519
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 3: them at the same time, because you're really when you're

520
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 3: you're comparing yourself to others, it's implying to God that God.

521
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 3: I wish I looked like her, I wish I could

522
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: play like him, I wish I was on that team,

523
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: I wish I had that job. And so I think

524
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 3: compare and kills joy, it kills your spirit, and it

525
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: kills being grateful for something. And so we want to

526
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: be grateful and be grateful for what we've been blessed

527
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: with and strive to be our best with it, not

528
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: necessarily strive to be the best, because then you're comparing. Now. Obviously,

529
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: if you're playing a sport, you want to be the

530
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: best in.

531
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: It, right, Yeah, But I do think comparison can kill

532
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: potential in a big way too. Totally sitting there with

533
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, welded weights in your family's garage, right while

534
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: comparing yourself to these other kids whose parents were paying

535
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: for personal trainers and fancy gym memberships, then you would

536
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: have never gotten to the level that you were at,

537
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: right because.

538
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 3: You totally believe that. Yeah, being able to compete against

539
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: my older siblings and being able to use what my

540
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: parents so kindly and lovingly provided for us, and the

541
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 3: support they did. But I would also say it was

542
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 3: more than just the weights. It was the life that

543
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 3: they spoke, the belief, the support for us in our dreams.

544
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: Almost I sound so silly, but the wind that we

545
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: felt behind us from their love and support, it's propelling

546
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: and it's contagious, and because you know how much they

547
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: love you, you really believe that I can endure more

548
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: like I can keep going, I can pursue, I can

549
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: fall down and I can get up, and I know

550
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: they're going to love me the same. But I want

551
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: to honor them, and I want to honor God, and

552
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: I want to honor the people that have supported me

553
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 3: along the way. And sometimes the greatest voice that was

554
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 3: in my head or my heart was the one that

555
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: was saying, I just don't want to let them down.

556
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to let my loved ones down. I

557
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: don't want to let my teammates down. And I actually

558
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: believe most of the time that voice is stronger than

559
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: the one that says, I I want this championship, I

560
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 3: want this And I really think if you talk to

561
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 3: a lot of people that are in line of service

562
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: or places of the military, so many times you'll hear

563
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 3: from them. And I have some friends that have served

564
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: in some of the hardest places around the world, and

565
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 3: they're saying, man, one of the greatest driving forces was

566
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 3: my brother or sister beside me, you know, and you're

567
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: doing it for them. And I feel like many times

568
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 3: that is a stronger compelling desire to support them. Then

569
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 3: it's when it this is just for me. And if

570
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: you're doing it for just for you and you don't

571
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: feel like it, guess what you ain't going to do it?

572
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's the beauty of growing up with five siblings

573
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: and also falling in love with team sports, right as

574
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: you kind of naturally have that mentality. And that's why

575
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: in the workforce, I think hiring people that played team

576
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: sports is such a good height.

577
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: I love it, so we do it all the time,

578
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 3: Like it's so important. Do you understand what a team

579
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 3: looks like? Right? Do you understand the difference between I

580
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: and a we and you know and me and a team.

581
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: And it's important that you represent the name on the

582
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 3: back of your jersey, but it's just as important that

583
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: you represent the name on the front of your jersey.

584
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: And it's so easy for so many teams to put

585
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: on the same jersey, but it doesn't really make them

586
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: a team. What makes a great team is when you

587
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: have the same vision, the same dream, the same mindset,

588
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: and you're all willing to suffer for it together and

589
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: now there's a bond that's created. And I really believe

590
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: most of the time. Those are the special teams, not

591
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: just putting on the same jersey, having the same dream,

592
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: the same mission, the same vision, and we're all chasing

593
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: for that. We all come from different walks of life,

594
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: different backgrounds, different beliefs, different cultures, different communities, but it's like, no,

595
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 3: we're coming together for this. That's why I also believe

596
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 3: that if you look at the great teams, it's a

597
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: great example of what our society should do more of,

598
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: of actually coming together with so many different walks of

599
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: life and backgrounds and beliefs, but man, we come together

600
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: with that vision and we're all united for that. Yeah.

601
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: United purpose is so it's so important and it's transformative,

602
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: and it makes me think. You had a really famous speech.

603
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: It's not longer than thirty seconds, right, but it's the

604
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: promise speech that you gave after was it you were

605
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: as were playing was it Oklahoma?

606
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: St Old? Miss Okay?

607
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: Sorry, and you gave a speech called the Promise Speech

608
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: that got a lot of recognition and it actually united

609
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: your team in a really big way.

610
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: Right. Well, I don't know if it united I think.

611
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: But I was watching a little documentary where one of

612
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: your teammates said it really inspired him and I don't know,

613
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: so tell us a story behind the promise speech.

614
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 3: Well, it's my junior year of college and we fell

615
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 3: short at home against Ole Miss, and we had it

616
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: just a great team. And I really believe that as

617
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: a leader, it is so important that you don't just

618
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: lead by inspiring, but you also lead with humility. And

619
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 3: you're the first one to say I was wrong, and

620
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: you're not the one that always says I have all

621
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: the answers. So many times we think that the leader

622
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 3: always has to have the answer, and I disagree. I

623
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: think the leader needs to be one that helps find

624
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: the right answers, but doesn't mean they always have to

625
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 3: have them in And when we lost that game, I

626
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: was heartbroken. I just felt like I let my team

627
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: down as the leader, I let the Gator Nation down,

628
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: I let my family down, and I sat in my

629
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: locker for a long time, but I knew I had

630
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: to go talk to the media and I just didn't

631
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: want it to be the status quo. But I also

632
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: truly believe in my heart I did something wrong. I

633
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: was just not the leader, the ambassador for my family,

634
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: for the team, for Gator Nation that I should have

635
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: been and so I went in there and answered some questions,

636
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: but I knew I had to share this from my heart,

637
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 3: and so I started by saying I'm sorry. I'm extremely sorry.

638
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: I started with an apology because I believe that when

639
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: you do something wrong, what you should do is apologize.

640
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: And that does not mean you say I apologize. It

641
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 3: means you say I'm sorry. And so I said it

642
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: twice because I wanted to be clear that I am sorry.

643
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: And then a lot of people say, man, it's so

644
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: cool because you then you promised that y'all were never

645
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: going to lose, you were going to win the national

646
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: championship and all this, and they don't actually listen.

647
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: I know you guys had a winning streak at the time.

648
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: That was what you were defending.

649
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: We did, and then we went on to win the

650
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: rest of the games and win the national championship. But

651
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: I didn't promise anything that I didn't believe that we

652
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: could could guarantee. I didn't promise we would win all

653
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: of our games. I didn't promise we would win the

654
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: national championship, even though that's a lot of people took it.

655
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 3: What I tried to promise was that we were going

656
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 3: to be the hardest working team and I was going

657
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: to be the hardest working player the rest of this year.

658
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: And because I believe that was something that we could control.

659
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: You get to control every day your attitude, your effort,

660
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: and your focus. And we were going to be a

661
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: team that controlled that at such a high level, to

662
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: such a high extent, that we were going to be

663
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: a team that embraced the grind, that we lived on

664
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: the edge, that we weren't showing up, and dude, we

665
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: were going to show up and it was going to

666
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: be extreme. And the next day, a bunch of the

667
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: leaders called a meeting together and we talked and hashed

668
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: a lot of things out. We went out in practice

669
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: and it was an extremely intense, violent practice. And after

670
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: that practice, I think if you ask a lot of

671
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: players on the team, they would probably say, I think

672
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: we'll win the championship. And it really wasn't because of

673
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: you know, we had amazing coaches, but it really wasn't

674
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: because of that. But it was the ownership that the

675
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: players took of. No, we own this, it's our faught

676
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: but watch now the attitude, the effort, and the focus.

677
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: And I think it was also cool to see how

678
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: so many players adapted and grew and learned. And I

679
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: think that's one of the things that is really hard,

680
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: is when you're really good, to go from really good

681
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 3: to great?

682
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what was that like for you, like, you know,

683
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: after committing to that so publicly, right, I'm sure there's

684
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure all of a sudden on your

685
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: back to then live up to that.

686
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 3: It gets hyped and praised now and they have it

687
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: like as blacks in the stadium, but there's a lot

688
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: of people at the time that they didn't like it.

689
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 3: I remember, I go and I put my hoodie on,

690
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: and I go and get in an elevator, like literally

691
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes after the interview, and at the last second,

692
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: a bunch of reporters walk in and I have my

693
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 3: hoodie because I really don't want to talk to them,

694
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: and they walk in and they close the elevator and

695
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: we're going up and I'm going to watch some film,

696
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: and they're like, man, can you believe Teboh gosh, it's

697
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: kind of crazy what he said on kind of all

698
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: like this. It was not how they kind of refer

699
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: to it now. And so it's interesting sometimes. And we

700
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: were talking about this earlier. Sometimes when you try to

701
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: stand for something, they might not understand it or agree

702
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: with it, or even criticize you in the moment. But

703
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: it's not about letting them speak in to you. It

704
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: is about living by that conviction. And I was convicted

705
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: that I needed to apologize and apologize to my teammates

706
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: and apologize to Gator Nation and then not just say that,

707
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: but go show how it's going to be different. And

708
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: that's what we went on the journey of doing as

709
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: a team, of showing how it was going to be different.

710
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: And if you looked at the way we played the

711
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 3: rest of the year, it wasn't always because we were

712
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 3: just better than everybody else, although I do believe we

713
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: were a really good team. It was also because there

714
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: was a level of grit, toughness, endurance that we were

715
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: one of the best teams for a long time in

716
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, Like we were losing in the SEC

717
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: Championship in the fourth quarter, but there was a mental toughness.

718
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 3: We were tied in the National Championship in the fourth quarter,

719
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 3: and you know, there was this different level of grit

720
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 3: of going back to that attitude, that effort, and that focus,

721
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: and that was a team that was so special in

722
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: all the areas because I think, yes, the physical talent

723
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: and the coaches and the scheme and all of it,

724
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: but then I think the mental toughness was one of

725
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 3: my favorite parts about that special team.

726
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the heart that goes into kind of showing

727
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: up and playing. What was the hardest part about playing

728
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: up to that bar that you set for yourself that

729
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: year kind of in all your years in college, Because

730
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: sometimes I look at these college players and I'm like, man,

731
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: they're so young, you know, like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one,

732
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: twenty two. You guys are kids out there playing and

733
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: setting such high bars for yourself, and you have all

734
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: these fans that are a lot older than us. Right,

735
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: you're kind of playing an adult game, criticizing you and

736
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: watching everything you do, but also loving you. So what

737
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: was it like kind of living up to that bar?

738
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: I think that year we did a really good job

739
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 3: of blocking out the noise and playing with the chip

740
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 3: on our shoulder. I think the next year, after we

741
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 3: had won another championship, we let the noise speak into

742
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: us a little too much, and we were playing with

743
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: such a weight and not playing free. But when we

744
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 3: were playing our best what was special about it? And

745
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: one of the mentalities I tried to focus on was like,

746
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: let's say I'm walking out of the tunnel. I'm not

747
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: looking around at the crowd, although I love feeding off

748
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 3: of it. I'm not thinking about the hype of the game.

749
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about what our rankings are, what this

750
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: game means. What I'm thinking about is to focus on

751
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: the smallest common denominator it possibly cancel. When I run

752
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: out of the tunnel, I literally run from the tunnel

753
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 3: to the thirty yard line. I do three jumps. I

754
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 3: run from the thirty yard line to the goal line

755
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: three times. I do three passes I do Is.

756
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: That a superstition threes?

757
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 3: No, It's just I just wanted to be to get

758
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: warmed up, to feel my best, and now do three snaps.

759
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: And then I would go and I would go through

760
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 3: our first fifteen plays, and I'll do this the things

761
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 3: that I dent over and over and over again, I

762
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: would just try to do them better and better and

763
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 3: better and better and better, because I think one of

764
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 3: the things that happens when you let pressure gets to

765
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 3: it is you stop and you look and you smell

766
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 3: the roses and you look at the hype, But why

767
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 3: do that? Hey, no, just focus. This is who we're

768
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: going against. This is what we need to do. This

769
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 3: is how we have to attack them. This is how

770
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: we have to rally people together. We're not looking at

771
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 3: the environment, We're not looking at the moment. We're looking

772
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: at the opponent, and we're keeping our eyes fixed and

773
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: we focus on that and focus on the task at hand.

774
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 3: And that's when I believe that we were our best,

775
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: is that there was an edge to that, to the

776
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,959
Speaker 3: task at hand. And I feel like there's too many

777
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: times I know when when I fall in shortened areas

778
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 3: that you just look at it and you think, oh, well,

779
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen? Why let your brain go there? Oh

780
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 3: what will they say? Why let your brain go there?

781
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: Oh well what about what if? Why let your brain

782
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 3: go there? You can't control it? Why are you worrying

783
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: about it? It just creates anxiety, and that's gonna slow

784
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: you down, it's gonna weight you down, it's gonna make

785
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 3: your heart pump a little bit faster. No, just focus

786
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 3: on the same game you've been playing for so many years.

787
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: Focus on the read, the task at hand. What do

788
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: you need to do because you've done it a thousand times,

789
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 3: just do it one more and do it a little

790
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 3: bit better.

791
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: It also seems like when you're playing at that level

792
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: and you have so many fans in the stadium kind

793
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: of watching you, guys obviously or like, yeah, there's noise,

794
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: they're getting hyped up, they're excited.

795
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: You have to be really good at compartmentalizing.

796
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 3: Yes, I think compartmentalizing is so important in sports, but

797
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 3: I also think it's really important in life. I think

798
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 3: it is so important that you're able to go from

799
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 3: a meeting to a meeting to a meeting that you're

800
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: especially if you're in a place of leadership, that you

801
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 3: can adjust, that you can be able to Maybe there's

802
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: a big burden that you're carrying it, but you don't

803
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 3: need to place it on everybody. So I got to

804
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 3: compartmentalize that burden. I got to hold it over here

805
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,479
Speaker 3: because I don't need to place it on the whole team.

806
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: And then I got to go be with them and

807
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: do all of this. But then I can go back

808
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 3: and start to work on this thing. I think it's

809
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 3: just so important. You know, we see it as a parent,

810
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: right You don't want to. You know, times I don't

811
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: want to place a burden on Demi of something that

812
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 3: maybe I'm going through. We both won't want to do

813
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: that for Daphne. You know, it's just as a family,

814
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 3: when you're going through things as a family, when loved

815
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 3: ones are getting sick and they're fighting through things, you

816
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: don't want to place a burden. And so I think

817
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: compartmentalizing is just so important, and sometimes it's talked about

818
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: even as a bad thing. And I think sometimes there's

819
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 3: times that we compartmentalize too much and we don't share,

820
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: and you know, sometimes you hold on to something just

821
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: and that's not always healthy. But I really believe it

822
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: can be a worked on skill set that can really

823
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 3: help you in a lot of areas of life.

824
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: Your dad was a pastor, right, yeah, pastor mission missionary.

825
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: So were your parents like sports fans or did they

826
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: become sports fans.

827
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 3: My parents were totally sports fans. Like when I was born,

828
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 3: I started bleeding orange and blue. My parents' first date

829
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: was the Florida Georgia game, and it was my grandfather's

830
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 3: dream to see Florida win an SEC championship. So they

831
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: were big sports fans. So they were probably bigger Jesus fans,

832
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: bigger Jesus.

833
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: Fans, so they were probably so excited when they saw

834
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: their son at Florida, just crushing.

835
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they so loved it. But honestly, one of

836
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 3: the things that was so special, even though they were

837
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 3: diehard Florida fans, when it came to me being recruited

838
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: and figuring out where I was to go play play football,

839
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 3: they never one time spoken to it to try to

840
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: influence me. Never one time. If anything, they did the opposite,

841
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 3: which really frustrated me, is because they would just always

842
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: say over and over and over again, we love you

843
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 3: and we trust you, we trust whatever decision you want

844
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 3: to make, we love you and we trust you. We're

845
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 3: going to trust whatever decision you want to make. And

846
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I want your input. But they just

847
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 3: did not want to sway me. They wanted to be

848
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: my decision and they were going to support me, but

849
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 3: they didn't want me to choose Florida because they were

850
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: Gator fans. That doesn't mean that it's right for me.

851
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 3: And honestly, I didn't choose Florida because I was a

852
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: Gator fan. Honestly, I know it's hard for people to believe,

853
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 3: but it had absolutely nothing to do. Like coach Meyer

854
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 3: came in my senior year of high school to Florida,

855
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: and before that they weren't in the top fifty and

856
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: he really changed that because he came in and Mickey

857
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: and Mullen and Murati and all these coaches and it's

858
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 3: change your coaching staff, and it was about the people.

859
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: And then it was just a blessing that it was

860
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 3: also a school that I happen to love so much

861
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 3: and that made the decision right for me. And the

862
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: style of offense and all of that played into it.

863
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: But my parents were just so I think, helpful but

864
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 3: at the same time, never pushy.

865
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: All Right, I want to fast forward a little bit

866
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: because you went from having this rock star college career

867
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: to playing in the NFL for a few years, and

868
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: then you made the decision to leave the NFL and

869
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: go into sport, becoming a sports analyst for ESPN and

870
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: the SEC, which I think is so awesome expressing your

871
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: love for the sport in a different way. But was

872
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: the decision to officially leave football do a little bit

873
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: of a baseball career, Like what was the decision like

874
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: to go for a football, they.

875
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 3: Just still leave it. I sort of got cut a

876
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 3: bunch of times too, so I had I go in

877
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 3: for me, so sort of like a forced leave to

878
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 3: a certain extent. But I was so fortunate that I

879
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: got to instantly be an analyst at ESPN and for

880
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 3: SEC Nation and SEC Network, and then I got to

881
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 3: also at the same time pursue baseball, which I loved,

882
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 3: and just gotten to do so many things. And one

883
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 3: of the things that I just really believe in is

884
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 3: that when you feel a pricking of your heart and

885
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: passion for something, I don't believe the worst thing is

886
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 3: striving and failing. I believe the worst thing is doing

887
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: nothing and then living with regret of what if. And

888
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: so I've really tried in a lot of areas and

889
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 3: fallen short many times, but tried in a lot of

890
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 3: areas to pursue it and sometimes succeed and sometimes fail.

891
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 3: But at least you could leave and say, you know,

892
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 3: I gave it a really good effort. You know.

893
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about purpose earlier and how

894
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: your parents at a young age were saying, like, there's

895
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: a reason you're.

896
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: Here, you have a purpose.

897
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: How would you say, your purpose changed over the years,

898
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: Like are there kind of chapters that you can pinpoint

899
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: and be like, this was my purpose, then this is

900
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: it now?

901
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: And you know what, I.

902
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: Think it really started when I was fifteen and I

903
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 3: met a boy in the Jungles of the Philippines on

904
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 3: a trip who was born with his feet on backwards

905
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: and because of that, he was treated and viewed as

906
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 3: less than insignificant and cursed, and they literally treated him

907
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 3: as equal to the trash. And I just fell in

908
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 3: love with that boy, and I knew that he wasn't

909
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: a throwaway to God, and I really felt like God

910
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 3: was pricking my heart saying, yeah, but what are you

911
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: going to do about it? I don't want you to

912
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 3: just feel something for him, what are you going to

913
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 3: do about it? And I knew that I love sports,

914
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: that I loved winning and I hated losing even more,

915
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 3: and I was pursuing the game and trying to win

916
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 3: and championships and MVPs and all of this. But it

917
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 3: was hard to verbalize at the time, but I guess

918
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 3: to say what I was feeling was it was almost

919
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 3: like God pricking my heart saying, you're chasing MVPs the

920
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 3: most valuable player. I have a more important MVP for

921
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: you to chase, and it's the most vulnerable people. But

922
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 3: which one will you care about more? Which one are

923
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 3: going to mean more to you in your life? And

924
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 3: that's been a constant journey of starting at fifteen and

925
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 3: then multiple stories in college that impacted my life. And

926
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 3: the first thing I did when I graduated from Florida

927
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: was start the foundation with the mission statement to bring faith,

928
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 3: open love to those needing a brighter day and their

929
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 3: darkest hour. Need to really sum it up as a

930
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 3: fight for people that can't fight for themselves. And when

931
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: we did that, honestly, the first thing we got was

932
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 3: a lot of criticism because people were like, well, that's

933
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: really kind of you, Timmy, but you won't be successful

934
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 3: because it's too broad. You can't have something that broad.

935
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: You need to be specific. It's either going to be

936
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 3: hospital care or orphan care or special needs care. And

937
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 3: we said now were called to do all of them.

938
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: And then adding on to that a couple of years

939
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: later was a fight against human trafficking and that's been

940
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 3: something it's been a constant journey for me of learning

941
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 3: and growing and being evolved and having my purpose, impact

942
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 3: my heart and God using it, but also also realizing

943
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: along the way that I didn't lose the ability to

944
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 3: compete or the chance to compete. I just get to

945
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 3: compete for something more important.

946
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, you get to take your competitive spirit and

947
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: channel it in a different way.

948
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 2: And that's the beauty of being a lifelong competitor.

949
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, and now so many of those traits that

950
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 3: were built and learned in sports now get to be

951
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: applied to something more important.

952
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the world needs more people with that athlete mentality. Well,

953
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about your new book. It's called Look Again.

954
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: It comes out literally today, right, it's launching today. So

955
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: I feel honored to be sitting there with you. This

956
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: is how many books have you written? This is your

957
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: fourth book or a couple more than that. But okay, good,

958
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: all right, all right, so you've written a few books.

959
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Tell us about this book. It's called Look Again. Recognize

960
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: your worth, Renew your hope, Run with confidence.

961
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just think it is so important that right

962
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 3: now in our society that we stop and we look again.

963
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 3: We look again at ourselves and stop viewing ourselves from

964
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 3: what the world says. We look again at other people

965
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 3: and stop viewing them for what everybody else says about them,

966
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 3: for their past, for what they've done or haven't done,

967
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 3: but we would truly look at them for their God

968
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 3: given worth and value. And right now in our society,

969
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 3: it is so easy for us to value or devalue

970
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 3: people based on their opinion, what they have done or

971
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 3: what they haven't done. But if we're going to evaluate

972
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 3: people on their opinion or their achievement, then that also

973
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 3: means it's a sliding scale. And what happens when you

974
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 3: disagree with them is their value less. And I believe

975
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 3: absolutely not that every single person has equal value and worth,

976
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 3: and I believe that every person is made in the

977
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 3: image of God and they should be treated that way.

978
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: And so my heart with Look Again was to really

979
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 3: challenge all of us, starting with myself, because how many

980
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: times have I looked by? Have I looked around or

981
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 3: looked past somebody that I should have seen and should

982
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 3: have helped? So what do we actually stop? Would we

983
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 3: look again? What do we recognize our worth? Because when

984
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: we recognize our worth, there's going to be something that happens.

985
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: It's going to renew our hope, there's going to be

986
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: a joy that takes place. And now, when I have

987
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 3: a hope, I can run with the confidence. I can

988
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 3: run after what I've been called to what my purpose is.

989
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 3: With a confidence because I know my worth, I don't

990
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: have to listen to other people and what they say.

991
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: And I have this hope and so I can run

992
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 3: after what I've been called to. But then what happens

993
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 3: is if I recognize my worth, it renews my hope.

994
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 3: I'm running with the confidence. Guess what, I'm also running

995
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 3: towards people to remind them of their worth and so

996
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 3: they can have a hope, so they can live with

997
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 3: a confidence. And it's been something for about four years

998
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: that has really been on my heart that I've been

999
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 3: wanting to share, and I really hope and pray two

1000
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 3: things for it. One is that it will be one

1001
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: of the most encouraging things people will ever read. And

1002
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 3: the second will be that it will be one of

1003
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 3: the most challenging things that people will ever read. That

1004
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 3: when you start actually knowing your own worth and then

1005
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 3: you see somebody else doubting theirs or hurting or being

1006
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 3: treated as less than, then it's going to challenge you

1007
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 3: to do something about it, to go serve uplift and

1008
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 3: care for somebody so that they would know theirs well.

1009
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: I am so excited to read the book. I just

1010
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: got a copy in the mail today so I cannot

1011
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: wait to read it myself.

1012
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, pleasure, Thanks for.

1013
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,480
