[Assistant] Through basketball, this is the way that me and Zoe bond. I love the fact that I get to spend time with her and help her to try to reach her dreams. And I would love to do this for as long as she'll let me be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm still cool enough not getting on her nerves and help her reach her goals of making it to the WNBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always going into 11th grade. We've been training with Eric since 4th grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cares about Zoe and he lives and dies. If I say, ah, Zoe didn't play well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I guess we only really started playing basketball just to try to get a free education. At this point, she has over 30 Division I scholarship offers, so I think we're pretty set as far as her getting a free education. So I just want her to keep working and working and be the best player that she can be and take the game as far as she can go with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I love about the WNBA for the past 25 years is giving young ladies like Zoe the opportunity to dream and something to reach for and something that one day say, hey, I too can make it to the WNBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Growing up, we lived next to like our neighbors. They would play football, baseball, basketball in the front yard and he would come in and he would be just like so mad if he lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They both have a very good attitude. They both come to work every single training session. Honestly, I think Sky's the limit for them. Whether that be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pursuing a D1 college scholarship or playing at the next level, playing professionally, I think they're on a good path to achieve whatever their goal may be. Right now they're only 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, how are my favorite twins doing today? All good? Let's go ladies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We worked on a little bit of speed and agility, incorporated the ball straight after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that we went to some technical work, working on our directional first touch and our reaction, reading our teammates body language. And then we moved on to a drill that we like to use a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is a lot of passing and moving, scanning, seeing where our teammates are, taking a good first touch forward and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working on the finish. Having a variety of first touches in your locker is very important. Having a, when a ball comes to you in the air, when a ball comes to you pinged in on the floor, when the ball comes to you choppy and bouncing, you have to be able to deal with all those things. So, that's why we like to work on a lot of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First touch into space, you know, not just that tight first touch, start to your foot. Good stuff ladies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They really enjoy the game, they really love the game, and I think that that's probably the most important aspect right now at their age. That they enjoy what they're doing, they love what they're doing, they're in love with the process, and uhm, I think that's really how you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go to the next level in anything in life, you know, enjoying the process, taking it day by day and not thinking too far ahead, working diligently every single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three variables controlled by the athlete are attitude, concentration, and effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when the, when the athlete can control those three and they're in the right environment, you'll see the kids that really control it because they take off. Uhm, these kids at their age, they have a very good grasp on all three, which is very rare. Where they go is really up to them. They don't need anybody to push them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the beginning, I saw the love for the game from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I didn't want her to play, but she was very, very persistent. I finally said, all right, let's, let's see what you have. And then when we jumped on the court from the first swing, I was like blown away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I string Akasha's rackets every week. She breaks a racket every other day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today we are going to work on staying consistent, uh, still more footwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, just controlling that power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it kinda helps her speed, agility on the court. And I've noticed when she's moving, I mean, everything just seems a lot easier for her on the court. Ready? Go. More arms. Quick arms. I'll come the last one was the best one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now Akasha is warming up with her training partners. Uh, these are the kids that she's been playing with for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, they try to play as much as possible. The reason I have her doing per against both of them right now is just so that she can try to control the ball to both of them and not just trying to put the ball away. It's easy when you have that one player you want to hit to the open court. So right now she has to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep it within the range so that we can just stay consistent and keep it going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kashi, for this match, when you serve, work on attacking the nets, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Rondell Moore, I'm a wide receiver, and I'm heading to the draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, as I'm preparing for the draft, I'm really just in a mind state of staying calm and taking it day by day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the last two months, it's been three workouts a day, really. My last day is tomorrow. No. Nope. I'm pushing your pro day back. You gotta stay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The training right now is definitely a little different. It's not a lot of conditioning, because it's more so speed training. Obviously, there's no combine, but that's what you're preparing for, like, drill specific. So, it's not as much football based, unless you're doing position work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, athletes do, uhm, to get the job done goes, a lot of it goes unnoticed simply because it isn't public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking care of your body is half of the battle. Obviously being available to go out there and perform will be really important and vital in your success. So, I think massages, whatever it may consist of that you do to, you know, feel good, I think all that stuff is equally important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Massages to me are very important. I think it's different for everyone and what you think works for you. So it's important for me and my body to kind of get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deep tissue, uhm, massage just to loosen up some things so I feel better. From a standpoint of just performance, I think it does help on my end. And after that massage, I'll transition into mobility, what we call our regeneration session.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's really just a lot of stretching, foam rolling. I think those are really important for athletes nowadays, especially people like myself just being so explosive and trying to work on those little muscles that we don't typically seem to think about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no amount of money that could pay it back. So just to keep a smile on her face and to, for her to see that I'm happy and live in all my dreams that I've, you know, could have ever imagined is, is like the biggest thing for me. As far as achieving something and being satisfied, no. But getting drafted has never been the end goal for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The goal has always been championships and hopefully a gold jacket. Is this a step in the right direction? Yea, no doubt about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My training routine going into the NFL Draft, I mean, it's shifted a lot. In college, I always workout, I'd say two, three hours a day. Definitely changed, and I've been working out at Sports Academy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, started off for four weeks, working out eight hours a day. Uh, it was a struggle at first, but you know, you get used to it. I feel like it's easier now, cause you know, it's no school. I'm not doing school work, so all I really have to do is, you know, work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, growing up, uh, in L.A., South Central L.A., not being financially really stable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Jaren's a gamer. He comes out and he makes plays in the game. You need a play, you can go to him, you can trust him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we were in a tight game and this was a select team. We were in a tight game and we couldn't dig up any offense. We couldn't do anything. So we were moving kids around everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we finally put Jarron at quarterback. We couldn't get, you know, he hadn't played that before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna make plays for you and we ended up winning that game same way as last week, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jared's a good kid, like, you know, a lot of people focus in on the sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Respectable kid. Like, you know, when you see him, he's got the right manners. He's got the right attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does things right outside of football. He's just a good kid. And I think we've focused that too. You know, the kid is, he's got potential, not just in the sport. He can be whatever he wants to be because he's got the right attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, I think like a lot of times we focus in on these kids as athletes. And Jaren...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's more than an athlete. He's a good kid. He's a good person. You know, wherever he chooses to go, if he continues on the path and he continues to work hard like he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he's got good parents. He's got a good, you know, he's got a good foundation. He's got the work ethic, the game, you know, it's the sky's the limit for the kid. He just has to choose it and you know, continue to put in the work and I think he can go wherever he chooses to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like entertaining people. I have so much fun. My name is Christopher London and I'm a content creator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My schedule varies every week. I realize, like, to be more productive, like, everything that I wanna do extra needs to be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the mornings, like early, early mornings, like working out. So from 9 till...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 5 p.m. I'm working on a video of some sort. 5 p.m. till 8 p.m. is what I do with the businesses outside of YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's important to have a simple yet powerful solution to keep my businesses flowing and that's why Simple Mobile is perfect to keep my team connected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't actually dream of being a content creator growing up just because, you know, it wasn't really a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Growing up, I wanted to be a professional basketball player. Then once I kinda started to sense that basketball can't and shouldn't be my only option, that's when I started to dream a little bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when I read online that YouTube was actually, uh, a source of income for some people, and I just tried it out myself, and then it became more and more popular as time went on, and here I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think a lot of people know what it takes to be a professional content creator, especially the work that goes into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think with the type of content that I make, everyday life experiences kinda influence me, uh, they influence my ideas, my creativeness. You know, sometimes it takes a toll because it's like, with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The type of content that's so personable, people kind of like, relate to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot. It can be, like, emotionally draining at times. That's gonna do it. Hope you guys, if you guys want to see more reactions, give this a thumbs up. Subscribe if you're new, join the crew, I know what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the reaction video, really simple shoot. I live a fast-paced, busy lifestyle, which is why it's really important for me to have a reliable phone service, and that's why I chose Simplemodel. Now, I'm actually gotta do a merch photo shoot, just waiting for the package, uh, to come through, which it should be here, actually right now. Uh, you guys wanna go see that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're doing the 2Hype merch photo shoot. We've been doing merch for about a year now. I'm also a member of 2Hype.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just utilize each other, uhm, we help each other out. We're kinda like a family over here. They'd power me. A lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, now I like to consider myself a savvy businessman. I made my own card game called Dare to Play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the trading cards for creators. And that's kinda like my verticals right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to call my business partner who happens to be Jesser. True Creator is launching this week. We gotta go over some game plans. The communication is one of the, if not the most important part of running a successful team. Jesser!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly over-communicate just so everyone's clear on what the goal is, why it's really important to stay connected. Dude, it's launch week, alright? I don't have a traditional fear of missing out, but I do have FOMO of missing out on a business opportunity. Any opportunity that comes my way, I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try to grab it, try it out. Alright, I'll call you later. Alright, take care. Peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a challenge starting out creating content because everyone looks at me and they think, oh, he's a basketball player, you're gonna make basketball content. And then I had to say, no, I can make more than just basketball videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can make, you know, personality videos, you know, I can do skits, I can write comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's what kinda separates me from everybody else. The challenge I set for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She works really hard all the time. She has a positive attitude. I can't say enough good things. As far as somebody to work with, there's nobody better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been Faith's coach for a few years now. I started coaching her maybe when she was 10. When she came and I started working with her, she was already a really good player. Ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strength of her game. So we work on that a little bit every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a ball in his hand and it was a soccer ball. And his dad, I mean all the videos that we see from itty bitty to now and how he's grown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do like 707 or 101 and then on Sunday now we just started doing our tournaments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't say like I enjoy the training, but I enjoy feeling like the pain in my arms because that's how I know I'm getting better. And when I start seeing that, my body is changing and I start seeing that I'm like end up becoming a better player. That's when you like, that's why you need to train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2017 Senior Clinic MVP award. Over here we got the 2016 Senior Clinic Player of the Year. We also got Long Beach Patriots, MVP Zechariah Fort, probably 2015 year. You gotta work hard to earn these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't think I was going to be able to play DB, but Mike ended up like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teaching me the ways of the DB position. So now I know I can play more than two positions. I don't need to only be like one dimensional. To be a reversal guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've learned from Coach Mike, you gotta be at all, right? You can't let nobody else tell you otherwise. You gotta have that like beast inside of you. Training, training, training, training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you practice Spanish, it begins to become natural. So if someone gives me a paper in Spanish, I can read it and understand it, and that's pretty cool. Es un deporte como muy violente, pues es como pegar a alguien muy fuerte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm able to do a whole bunch of stuff in a day because I got 24 hours. So I'm able to read my Bible at home, but I'm also able to read it in between breaks of my school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My biggest goals in life is to go to the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Become a great player, but also be able to spread the mission of God's love and mercy and trust in God. Work hard, because there's somebody out there that's working for the same thing you're working for. They're trying to get the offer that you got. So you gotta grind harder. That's what No Days Off means to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just nice athletic base. Yep. There you go, man. That's it. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Ty got here, he was obviously underweight for his dream of playing in the NBA. I think he weighed in at 153.4 to start off. Over the last six months we've been working together. By the time we're done, we'll have hit 120 training sessions and he's over 175 pounds now, right at 175 pounds. And I think physically ready to meet those demands that he's going to see at the NBA. Good work, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As awful as this time has been for so many of us, uh, I think honestly it was the best thing that could have happened to Ty because we had six months of time where he didn't have to be on the basketball court an excessive amount, right? Cause we know a lot of times when you're playing ball every day, it's hard to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get in the gym and to get that work in. So I think honestly, the fact that we had six months to just get in the gym to be really religious about our workouts, this was huge, I think, not only for his rookie year, but for his entire NBA career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, love this kid. Joke around, but I've spent more time with him than basically any other person in my life for the last six months other than my family. This isn't basketball. This is working out and it's stuff that generally a lot of basketball guys don't enjoy. But for him to commit to the process, to see the gains that he's seen in his strength, in his size and just in his physique, I think it's going to be huge and I can't wait to watch him this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of kids doing the same thing he's doing, but he understands the difference of the hard work that the two are putting in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's your overall New York point guard and a lot of big things coming for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice and high, right? Don't pass your eyes. Go. Okay, Tom. Let's keep these arms straight, right? Straighter a little bit. Nice and straight. When you lift, nice and straight. Alright? Seven. Good job, man. Eight. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got introduced to Mel through the Gauchos program. Coach Mitch, he's his head coach and I'm really good friends with Mitch. And one day he just brought me along to one of his practices, 6 a.m. practices, and he told me, hey, look, you got half an hour with these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I enjoy working with Mel. He's a young kid. He understands the hard work he has to put in. You know, he understands what we're doing. And he understands the drive. Some of them...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes them a while to get that drive going, but once they understand that you need to have that drive from the first exercise to the last, they'll understand and embrace the hard work and understand that everything we're doing out here is just benefiting for them. Once they get it going, they understand that from there you can't tell them nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here we're going to incorporate some parachute sprints. You know, he's running against the wind, so it's just sort of, it'll just incorporate his speed and how to cut through the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, that's something you can't teach. We can teach explosion, we can do strength, we can run. But you, uh, the kids, they gotta have that drive within them. And that's something you can't teach. That's something that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Experience, from their own experience, they gotta want it for themselves. They gotta, it gotta come from inside. We can want it as much as they do, but they gotta, they're the ones that gotta go out there and compete and practice and do all the hard work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is mainly about injury prevention. Make sure both sides are equally balanced and loose. That helps kinda take pressure off certain areas, especially like the knee. Make sure that quad's staying loose along with the hamstrings, IT band, groin, all those areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have some game balls here. This was my first home run ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it was a grand slam. This one is the World Series ball. And this one is my other, uhm, home run ball that I hit in the same tournament. Ooh!

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love blocking drills. They are my favorite. They're like where you drop when you're catching and if a ball's in the dirt, you drop to keep it in front of you. It helps me get better at it, you know? Like, it helps my pitchers out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite exercise is like throwing med balls. I love throwing the med balls into the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wake up, go to the gym, 45 minutes to an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to softball practice, get ground balls, I hit, do blocking drills. I do gymnastics a lot to, you know, stay in shape I guess. I like swimming, all that stuff.

[Assistant] My favorite thing I do when I train is I love anything ball mastery or technical related because I feel like those drills really help showcase what I am as a player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My parents are very supportive. They drive me everywhere to all my games and practices. They always are there at my games cheering me on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The greatest piece of advice that any coach has ever given me is that real work doesn't go unnoticed. So if you just keep putting in that work every single day, you'll get noticed and you'll reach all of your goals.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The comeback made me stronger because I knew that I wasn't doing something good enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On that field that made me hurt it. I took therapy and it helped me become stronger so when I got on that field I can, I could play better and be stronger on that field to not hurt myself again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The things that make me different are my skills, my communication, and picking my head up when I'm on the ball, and my physical.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to, yeaah, sit down and just focus on the art sometimes to slow myself down.

[Assistant] Or to play on the field, you don't have to act like someone, you be yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And work as hard as you can on that field or at home or at school or anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for checking out how I stay busy. To watch more videos like this, check out Whistle Sports. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I met him there, we played some, uh, like, ring toss games, went around to some, like, other carnival events and after that we just hit it off. He's like the guy who can, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mindset is staying focused, helping my team win, and standing out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to give it your all. You have to stay positive because hard work always beats talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a normal day training will probably be first I get up and do at least two or three miles. I usually run two or three miles every morning because it helps me like stay with my distance and not lose fitness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, cardio is super important for soccer, in my opinion, because you have to stay in point and like when you're running like the whole 90 or 80 minutes, you have to stay fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I come back home, I do some ab workout and a little bit of footwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After my workout, I like to eat a bowl of cereal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like training in my backyard. I have two cones and I kick the ball in the wall and the ball comes back to me or I usually do ladders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're important to me because I have to perfect my footwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When either I'm in the games, I have to be able to do some skills when 1v1s and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training with my team makes me a decent player, but training by myself and with my team makes me a great player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started playing soccer when I was four years old because of my siblings. And eventually when I was four, I started playing in the same league. And what attracted me was the competition, the physical contact, and the scrangles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was 12 years old, I started to see the competition getting harder and harder, so my mentality changed to work hard and to become a professional soccer player and took it seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have a personal trainer. Usually he's pretty tough on me, but I like it. And throughout the day we usually do how to switch the ball with my other feet or how to catch the ball with my other feet or practice on my right foot and shooting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a left winger, my job is to either do crosses, assists, or scoring goals. When it's 1v1s, I do like tricks or like play around with them and dance around them with the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like web forward because you always go like in the line right here. You help the defenders and you help the forwards and the midfielders and you just do a lot of skills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My parents have been a big impact in my life. My dad, he takes me to like soccer training. He has always pushed me and like never like made me give up. And my mom, she's always there supporting me, like making me feel like good of myself. And my family's heritage is from Mexico and that's very important to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For school, it's really important for me. I have to get my work done, because if not, then you won't be able to go to a great school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides soccer, I like hanging out with my friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soccer is really important to me, but sometimes you just have to keep your mind off that at times to focus on other things as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two of my greatest achievements is probably being able to go to Spain with my team and winning two trophies, which was the best player and the most goals. And my second greatest achievement will probably be being able to go to Kansas with the youth national team for a camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My future goal is to play for a D1 school and eventually play for the U.S. Women National Team. And for me, the most important is not giving up, also always staying positive. Because talent gets you so far, but hard work gets you even further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I verbally committed to Mailer in January. It's just a great fit, man. Like, I'm really excited to get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say he's right up there with the tops of all my students. He's the first one in and the last one to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joey started out as an infielder, and I said, hey dude, I'm gonna put you behind the plate. I think you're athletic enough, the tools that you have best suit you there, and he took right to it. That umpire, good view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Get back up. Good, back up. Good, that's the way to get around it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all had some ability to make it to that point. But what's going to take that player, that athlete to that next level is something that I believe that Joey has that's intangible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see the ball. You go into panic mode, you can't track it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'd always heard about her skate park in her backyard. Yea, it definitely is the hangout spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me it was really intimidating at first because I've like, never skated with a kid my age who's that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then when I actually did, just like how kind of supportive and like nice she was about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever we hang out, it's always so much fun. We're like hanging out and talking, but we're also skating around town. It's just really fun. It's kind of a mix of everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My sister actually got Julian a Strider for his birthday. He wasn't able to ride it right away. During the next summer, he picked it up. So we bought him a pedal bike, thinking like, alright, this will take a couple months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then within three days, he learned how to pedal and was pedaling around the neighborhood. That was kind of like the moment that we were like, okay, this is exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we lived in Philadelphia, we rode bikes a lot just through the city. So when Julian started biking, it was just kind of something that we could all do together. That's kind of really where it started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's hard on himself and I think that's why he can excel and do certain things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do most of our biking on the weekends. What we ride the backyard during the weeks. We build a lot of ramps just to try to practice. This is the first year that he's really trying to do more tricks. So up to this point, it was just practicing the jumping and getting good at that. And now he's starting to want to do tricks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do a lot of snowboarding in the winter. It's a good fit because it's a separate activity. It's completely different than biking and we typically don't really ride any bikes in the winter. We always say we're going to and then we just get too involved in snowboarding, but it's a good thing to take a break and just kind of reset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he loves both, honestly. So during snowboard season, it's snowboard all the time. During bike season, it's the same way. So we try to maybe mix it and do both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This week, in fact, he was working on something and he was starting to get frustrated and he says, I'm just gonna take a break and, uh, work on it later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so we'll do a couple more shots and then we'll switch it up up top. Okay? Ready? Left hand. There you go. You got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stay with it. Good. There you go. And around. Nice. Alright, opposite pipe. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go one more, one more, and then we'll switch it up real quick. Okay, over here you're gonna start with the left. Go to comb. Nice. Okay, don't switch hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. That's right. That's right. Nice. Too easy, man. Too easy to train her. You can tell her one thing and she learns right away. Like that's, that's the, that's the best thing really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to be able to teach somebody that's really athletic like that and at a young age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the sky's the limit, so I'm super excited I'm able to be a part of, you know, a little part of her life, you know, training her and, you know, working with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She knows what she wants. She knows that it's not going to be an easy road and so therefore she's going to have to put the work into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she was in second grade, their teacher made them write down what I want to be when I grow up. And she wrote professional soccer player. From that day, she's never wavered. And we started to see traits of waking up early, doing those extra sit-ups. That just doesn't happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be built a certain way and therefore that surprises me. It surprises and it also builds respect. She's pretty incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You tell him to do something, he won't ask you twice. So long as he's got the drive and he enjoys himself, he could go as far as he could go. It just depends on him. I mean, as long as he's got the drive, he could make it at anything he wants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could just, you know, like if you have stress at or you're worried about a s gives you that freedom to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my previous club was LAFC. I played with them for three years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From my 2016 to this past year, and now I play on a Fram 04 team, and I'm playing in high school varsity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't expecting to make varsity as oppression, but then once I just started training with them, trying out, I just got a little more comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's harder because a lot of the, you know, obviously they're all bigger than me. A lot of them are pretty much almost grown adults, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I make up the physical difference just by you have to be smarter with the ball. Like you can't always try to outrace them or out-body them because they're bigger than you. They'll be faster, stronger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My game isn't really like the flashy type, it's more just get the ball, get rid of it and move around and just provide an option for my teammates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to play high school soccer because I think it's different from, you know, club or academy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do everything for me. They take me to practice everything and it's, you know, four, five times a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] School is a big thing for me because if I don't do good in school, there is no soccer. My coach at my varsity high school really appreciates that because he also wants us to go to college and if we can't get in through soccer, we have to get in somehow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, usually, I'm usually behind on homework, so I get that done first, cause usually I'll come home from practice and go straight to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if I ever am caught up, I play video games like FIFA, Call of Duty, all the normal stuff, Fortnite, like everyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in soccer, really my main goal is just to make it professional, whether that's here in America or somewhere abroad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you thinking? Roast beef on the first one? Second one an Indy? Third one? You don't have to do a grab, but if you want to do like a little shifty or something like that, give it a little bit of style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been happening more and more in my career. The fathers I used to train, now we're training the kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where do I want to see Sage go from here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cassani is 13. He has been with Lace Facts Academy for two years. Uhm, it is a home-based education program, which I like because it's configured to the kid how they learn. So if they're kind of struggling a little bit with a certain subject, then they get to spend more time and go at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he doesn't have to wait for any other students to catch up to his level. And so he can excel and go forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lace Facts last year, they put on a art show and he drew a picture and we had a silent auction and people came and bought their paintings and they had to explain their paintings and what it meant to them. I just felt very proud to be his mom at that moment right there. It made me very proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All sports are related in the weight room, you know what I mean? It just depends on if you're dedicated enough to put in the work to get where you need to be to be successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Breathe out as you push up. Breathe out as you push up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, for someone who's got obviously the size and the physical capabilities that he does, you know, he definitely works out like, like he's just a four foot one kid trying to make it on team, you know what I mean? So someone like that who has that ability, but still has the dedication to put in the work in the weight room and on and off the field. It's excellent. It's coach's dream, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my gym, this is where I work out. Let me show you what I do best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we've gotten to the point where we trust the process now. Gymnastics is one of the most well-balanced sports where it brings finesse, power, it brings an array of physical abilities, and it brings mental toughness also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any project that she's taking part in it, you can tell that she's gonna go after it and she's gonna take the extra steps. She's not gonna just do enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're still inspired to this day about her work ethic. We're impressed and it looks like that's gonna carry on into teenage years and it's gonna carry on into adulthood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want her to put her best foot forward and for her to get out of life what life has for her. My thing is we're gonna provide the resources if you're ready to take advantage of them. The sky is the limit as far as our end of support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, just working on her handle. She's really learning how to dribble with a purpose. You can just know who knows how to play and who doesn't. Just the way they bring up the ball on the court, whether it's just like that one leg skip in between into your move. Just working on her little swagger right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really wasn't taking her serious, kept asking and asking. It really took my mom to convince me to train her, cause you know, I've been through basketball and you go through a lot of adversity and I didn't know if she was ready for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wider. Every drill we do has like a purpose. It's not so much like I'm telling her how to get it, like I just want her to figure it out. You're the point guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we worked on all day pullbacks, the next day she hit a kid with a pullback and she knew exactly how to do it because it's just repetition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now you don't hear a lot of girls saying, oh she's got a Kelsey Plum type game. I'm really just trying to build my sister and help her, trying to get to that Kyrie type of handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my age group has like a record that needs to be broken, I'll go for it and then I'll get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 23, 21. I was the youngest person there. I was in eighth grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was like all high school girls and I was the youngest person and I beat them and they thought they were going to win, but they didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a lot of our trophies, a lot of my patches from nationals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For getting the record and, uhm, primary, 80 under, girls, 200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They find the top five high school girls for the hundred and then we get invited to come to Boston and run. This year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our start was bad, like when I got the blocks, I was in like last place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll come on a track to win. If I lose, like, it made me, like, push harder and stuff, but, Tamari Davis, do what you love, love what you do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this year was better than all my other years because I went to a lot of places. I ran, like, uh, great times. This year, I want to go, like, 23.0 or 23.1. Gonna take a lot of work for me to get those times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to be focused, and when I get on the line, just like, forget about everything, and then just, just going, and you don't stop until you get to the finish line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Sky Brown, and I'm 10, and I like to skate under.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just going fast, doing turns, and just riding the way. The hardest trick was probably like a chop pop. It took me a while. I just love the feeling when you make it. It just makes you feel so happy and you want to do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did get some pretty bad slaps, I got some bruises. That's not gonna stop me, I'm just gonna keep going and get that trick. And when I'm done, I can be like, yes! You just gotta try hard, put yourself out there, have fun, and just get that trick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Girls can do anything that boys can do. And I don't get much chances to skate with girls. And when I skate with girls, I just like to have fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to be like the best at skating and surfing. The most important bit is to have fun and try my best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a quick learner, that's probably the best thing that I noticed about Cam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what separates Bella from her peers is the amount of work that she puts in and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The quality of work that she puts in. Her work ethic scares me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a lot of people don't understand is Bella's mom, her grandparents, her sister, her bed is 3,000 miles away. And so, Bella has sacrificed a lot for what she has gotten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of the day, she's happy. She loves doing it. We've never seen her being intimidated by anybody else to change who she is. I think that's the biggest thing of why we have given her the opportunity to do this and why she seeks it is because she's the one driving it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has that drive, she has that push, and she just really loves what she does, and you can tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world is our playground. A lot of the times we are just driving and we see a spot. It was like, wow, that has some really good light or you can definitely hold my weight. You can hold your weight if need be. And, and so that's kind of how we started thinking. And it's always, we're always thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the really cool things of what we're able to do as influencers and entrepreneurs is that we can take our office anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We work together so well because we're constantly trying to outdo each other and outdo ourselves, of course, but it's just always, it's always fun. Our drive is to just do something different and do something new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We started Exist basically just to get people to wear their heart on their sleeve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes people need that push and so she's, she's that push for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's always wanting to do more. He wants more for everybody around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ty, the oldest shepherd, is the most able-bodied of the three because she can sprint as well as run distance. She does anything from the sprint hurdles to the 800 meters. She's very, very determined and focused, not just in track but in school and in everything she does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the parents and the girls on the team and the coaches all came together to assist them with whatever they needed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're pretty much on their feet now, but we're always there for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jeunesse Track Club, the team I started 33 years ago. There wasn't a lot going on back then, especially for girls. Boys had football and basketball and baseball and girls had cheerleading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe that all children rise to what's expected of them, and if you give them great expectations, you'll get, uh, great results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, so why weren't you in it? And that's not just being the best at track, it's being the best person that they can be, the best woman that they could be, the best...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Student that they can be and uhm, that's what I insist on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that carry, Lindsay becomes the all-time all-purpose yarnage leader in Colorado history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was scary easy for clicks. I mean, scary easy. You wanna know why he's the Top Jack? That's why he's the Top Jack. That's it, that's it right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She used to have about five people that watched her regularly, but as time went on it, you know, gradually increased by 10 or so and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One big streamer really took notice of her and ever since then it really took off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deaf in hearing, there's no difference, and with Fortnite, that special effect where anything that's, um, audio is also visual, and that provides that access that allows her to play on an equal field as any hearing player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Pro-Am and getting to interact with everyone, we saw a lot of people from FaZe Clan's team and we felt that there was a real sense of community throughout their team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, in our world, she seems perfect. She's happy in who she is as a deaf child. It's completely natural. It's whenever you leave deaf world that people are shocked. They think it's impossible. How can a deaf girl


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Helping them to understand about Deaf culture, about ASL, American Sign Language. She's inspired many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only the deaf, but also young girls, showing them that they can game too, that they can be skilled as anyone else in this, that they can keep up with the boys that are gaming out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First time I started running track, I pretty much say after I saw 2008 Beijing Olympics when I saw Usain Bolt run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was so amazed by how fast their legs are moving and how fast they are moving and everything. I just know that I can be like them someday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, fastest on my brand so far is 10-8. And I'm not satisfied with that at all. I'm Jalen, I'm 16, and I'm a sprinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad was known for being very, very fast. And I feel like I picked that up from him especially. I was seven years old when I started running against older kids and started beating them. And a lot of people started telling me like, you have potential and you're gonna go far. And that's when I pretty much just like, hmm, I guess I am fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Growing up in Coney Island, it was kind of a struggle in a way because I had to work ten times as hard to make sure I was seen and to make sure like I was doing what I had to do to be the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traveling to school every day takes me about an hour, but I know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going there is going to make me that much better. I go to Paul Robeson and it's known for being the best team in New York. We're number one in the state and in the nation, we're number three. I was a freshman in high school running against seniors. Sometimes I didn't win, sometimes I did win. And when I didn't win, I didn't take it as a loss, I just took it as a lesson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would just hope the next week to get them back and eventually I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I don't train on Fridays. And I train for about three to four hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have two coaches cause I run for high school and I run for club. Both my coaches are Jamaican so I guess like them having that experience they put, kinda put it on us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Growing up around the beach my whole life is really good because I get to run on the sand and especially in track you get out the block before everybody else and running with weights on the beach and parachutes it's helped me because that's what I need to like work on a little bit more is my starts. I'm explosive out the blocks but I just need to be a little bit more explosive to get to that level where I want to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This have been Sez Musa, my nickname. Really, I got this last year at AAU Nationals. Because it means fast, it means the best of the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What makes me so excited about running is a gold medal. Junior Worlds is short-term girl. Uh, long-term girl is 2024 Paris France Olympics. I wanted to be the first one from Brooklyn, Coney Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So winning the Olympics, the gold medal, 100 meter. 2024 looks like it's gonna be it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people tell me I'm fast, it makes me feel like more confident, but I just don't rely on what they say. I always push harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because yeaah, I want people to call me fast, but I also want to live up to that expectation of being fast. So, I always have to keep working harder. When I'm running, I always pretend like I'm using both. Because it gets me on my A game. And I just be like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would he do? Just seeing him come out powerful, finishing strong and his legs moving so fast and the grit form he has. I just have tunnel vision to get to the finish line and that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I finished my race and I dipped at the line and I know somebody was right there next to me, my head just turned straight to the clock. Most of the time I don't care about the place. I just care about the time to see if I did better than I did last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do run for me, I run for my family and I also run for my community, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like they're going to be very satisfied and very happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would definitely, uh, tell other kids older than me and younger than me that track is not just about running, even though it may seem that it's just about running, and it can take you farther than you think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amber knows what she's gonna get done. And that's always been so inspiring for me. Like, nobody's just giving her things, you know? It's like she had to make her own thing. And I think that's just so inspiring for the whole community in general.

[Assistant] No girl or boy can shoot like her, in any age. She's the closest, I think, seriously, Steph Curry. She's competition with Steph Curry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do I do it? How do I score? Still put on those numbers? I don't know. My skills stick out, I think. My skills are better than most NBA players, I believe. So, that's how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That doesn't mean anything. I've always been just like one of the shortest people on the court, so it's not really an issue. It had never been an issue. There's a lot of players in the NBA that are short and that weren't in the NBA. For example, there's Ed Thomas, Oxy Bogues, Spud Webb. For me, height is not an issue. For me, it's an advantage, and people can say what they want, but it's not gonna stop me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At any level in life, you're gonna have haters, so. Even LeBron has haters. LeBron's the best player in the world right now. He has haters, so. If you don't have haters, you're not doing something right, so. Just part of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to go to NBA. That's the main goal. And not only in NBA, but be one of the best to ever play the game in basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to get new equipment, bigger, better, which at first I was very hesitant to. He used to yell at me and tell me I was ruining his career and I would laugh at him because there was no career at the time and I didn't even think any of this was possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His core curriculum classes are done online through the schooling, but then he also has things that you wouldn't be exposed to in school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Balancing his bank account and investing his money. So he's talking and learning about these things that you wouldn't be exposed to in a regular curriculum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He seems to be falling into the role quite naturally. We do talk about things that are going on in other people's lives and how you can be a positive influence and how you can, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What always motivates me is for that little Mexican girl that's gonna watch me in the WNBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm different than any girl, and I want to change the girl's culture of basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Jiggy Isley and I am 10 years old and I play basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I grew up with the environment of basketball. When I was little, I always watched my brother play and I'm like, I wanna be like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we started, he's like, do you really want to do this? Because this is going to be a long journey. I'm like, Marco, I'm ready. And he's like, okay, let's do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been one of the best trainers I ever had. He knows like so much about the game. He's showing me the cheat codes for basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to be a point guard, so I have to be able to pass, able to dribble, and able to rebound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one is for MVP of a boys league. This one is the one that I got kicked out of my league. Like I got kicked out of the league because I was too good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got kicked out of league and then turned into MVP of a league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What your goals are, like one is to have a prospect in middle school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] USC doesn't have like a really good team, so I'm thinking putting them worldwide. UConn, they're already worldwide. Everybody knows about them, they have really good girls. UW, because Kelsey, she's in W.A.B.A. When I just started, my brother always told me, you gotta play like her. And that's why I wanted to go to UW.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's really not that much Mexican basketball players. I want to be the first one. For that to happen, I always have to work hard. I have to be motivated. And what always motivates me is for that little Mexican girl that's going to watch me in the WNBA. I want her to play basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And motivated her that Mexicans could do that. Mexicans can move like that. Mexicans can play basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. I run a program called Brain and Barrel Hitting and I've been working with Joey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For his age, he's absolutely more mature than most of the other guys. Once that maturation process starts physically and he puts some weight on, that's where he's really gonna start to separate himself if he hasn't already. A big thing for Joey, partly because of his size, he's playing against really skilled guys and really polished guys who also happen to be double his size and weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's limitless for him, the way he works and the dedication he has. In 10 years, there's no reason why he can't be in the US National Team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I try and do with the kids when I coach with them is try and make it as game realistic as possible. Anyone can just throw a ball and hit the shot top corner and say, that was great, but can you do it when I'm running out and I'm putting them under pressure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was weird. I had like random people walk up to me. Oh, you're the boy that got the scholarship. Congratulations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's better to focus now so you can cherish it. When you get to that time, you know what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last season, yeaah, we were undefeated. Nobody scored on us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next time, focus on like what I did wrong and what I need to improve on. And I look for coverages and the way they line up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you gotta share the ball around. It's not just my game, it's also my teammates' game too. Look, my brothers, it's like a big family, so we share like our food around, like our balls of food, so we gotta share football around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make good decisions when no one's watching or lead by example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I prefer to play defense, cause I like hitting people instead of them hitting me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are some things, especially in classical ballad, that have to be maintained. But as with anything, the technique keeps growing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna get drafted out of high school, but if I have to go to college, I will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hit a home run that season. The first one that I had over the fence. And couple triples, couple doubles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I turned eight is when I was starting to hit a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started switch hitting when I was seven. We were just like experimenting on which side I was better on. I realized I was good on both sides, so then we just started switch hitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I train seven days a week. I'm on the smaller side. I don't think it's gonna matter for me. I like to work hard and I think I'll be better than most people my size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was eight, I didn't play much. But then when I did get to play, I did what I had to do to like stay in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is me when I was nine. This is my first powerlifting competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from the 8U Division Champions. We went 14-0 the whole season. We were undefeated. The same thing for 9U. The same thing over again. Undefeated. Some of the balls down here. This one is signed by Craig Vigio. This is my Gold Glove Award. Silver Slugger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sub my rings. I won this one recently. And then these are my three favorite baseball players up here. They kinda sorta do the same thing I do. Two of them have speed. They have high averages and all that stuff, so. That is from the World Series. And we came third in this tournament. And I went 8 for 11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We play a AAA major. We play against good teams. I think it's just a little harder down here than it is on the west and the north because we have a lot harder throwers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a lot of good players and we all play together as a group. We all go out in the field and help each other out and all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that they're invincible, so I'm gonna leave that to me, and the mama bear will...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My thing is, you always gotta make it fun for them. So I do a lot of in-game stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want them to have that mindset to just keep working. So, never settle for just being good, you know what I mean? It's wrong for you to be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He motivated. He motivated. That's a blessing. That's something you can't teach a kid that's already motivated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. I run a program called Brain and Barrel Hitting, and I've been working with Joey for, that was nice, for two? Two years? Cause I got a lot of pro guys, a lot of D1 guys, and then I got this kid, he's 70 pounds, who I really don't have to slow down with at all. Mentally he's there, he knows what he needs to work on. Yeaah, two. So that was exactly right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For his age, he's absolutely more mature than most of the other guys. Once that maturation process starts physically and he puts some weight on, that's where he's really gonna start to separate himself if he hasn't already. A big thing for Joey, partly because of his size, he's playing against really skilled guys and really polished guys who also happen to be double his size and weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play club soccer for FC Stars Massachusetts and I am on the U-14 girls national team and it's like the best 24 kids in the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only because they really cherish their, uh, rest time. They get off the tracks here about eight at night every night. When they get home, it's a mad dash to doing homework and, uh, studying and preparing for the next day. Rise and shine. Hi. You have testing today? Thank you. You always the first one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brooklyn is a great place to live. I mean, right now, it's a hot spot. It's gotten very expensive. I was working a low-income job and for a single parent like myself, I wasn't getting the, uh, the help I needed. Thank you, sweetie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We fell on really hard times because of that, because of the rent hike, because I couldn't make ends meet with the low income job. The rent kept going up and our landlord just didn't want to work with me. And for that, we became homeless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's something that I had to do. I had no choice. I don't have family members here in Brooklyn that I could live with. And the girls were born in Brooklyn. I didn't want to leave. I didn't want to uproot them because even though it's expensive here, they have the best opportunities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a picture of him. I lost my son to gun violence. He would have been 21 this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I find difficult is the quiet moments. I feel very lucky to have three girls in my life who can't stop talking, can't stop moving. They reward me with that and I feel blessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The time that we became home with the girls, we got on a track seat. We were actually given the support group to get past, uh, the obstacle that we was about to, um, run into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through their track successes came people wanting to know about them and hear about their story. One of the people that found the girls and wanted to do their story was Whoopi Goldberg and The View.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The girls helped me to keep going. Their story is so inspiring and their passion and their drive. It makes me feel like it's never the end of something unless you stop trying. There's no end to it and they motivate me every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always know that there's light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to persevere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm probably one of the best, I gotta be honest, like I'm not trying to be cocky or anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at home, Coach Cliff wants me to work on my drum shot and work on just like simple handles even though it's like super easy for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This car here, we both kind of help each other with the car, with the design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I added this stripe down the middle to add some more orange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make it pop more. I think it looks a lot brighter and more colorful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of scouts that come watch him, they say that when they're on other fields and they can hear the different sound coming off his back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means more to me than his talent. Just being a good kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he came in and dad said, he can do flips everywhere. And I said, okay, sure, let's give it a shot. I was expecting maybe one flip on the trampoline, but he literally just tumbled flip over flip over flip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Jevon is on the elite trek. This is a smaller, tight-knit group of individuals that really represent the country at one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he's ready to go towards the Olympic route would be when he would have to really start focusing in on one sport at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hawaii has been home to some big-name football players. Now a new athlete could be making a name for himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His career like a gymnast and at age seven we tried also diving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so happy that we can give our children this opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To study a lot and of course to practice a lot and travel a lot because I didn't have this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I play the cello, I feel really excited, exhilarated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard Yo-Yo Ma playing the swan when I was three, and then that made me get into the cello.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I like the most about the cello is that it sounds like the human voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of going through the piece over and over and over again, only focus on the hard parts, then the full piece, find the new hard parts, fix those, and as such I'm able to get practicing done more efficiently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as I can remember, I've been having random tunes appearing in my head. And then one day I decided to write them down and make them...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Longer. I think I've composed around 70 pieces which are near completion or completed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've grown up around music. I would like to be a composer and performer. Playing music really makes me happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were the NHL, I wanna know how you would handle this scenario. It's 15 minutes to the first puck drop, and two of your three officials are complete no-shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really fun. You're not too far off from what actually happened. Because this actually happened once in NHL history. It's January 15th, 1983.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unable to continue, rule 31, section 11. If through misadventure or sickness, the referees and linesmen appointed are prevented from appearing, the league will make every attempt to find suitable replacement officials. Otherwise, the managers or coaches of the two clubs shall agree on referees and linesmen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can pretty much just pick whoever you want. You can be like, you in the third row, put the nachos down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost exactly what you said. You wanted to make it a contest, but you never specified what the actual contest would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they didn't do that at Harford. They went to each coach of each team and they decided to pick a player who was not going to play that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. You already know how to play. Only one of them's name is Gary. And that was Gary Howitt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Showed up. It was like 4,800 something actually showed up to the game. So they still have to play a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the rule book says, if there are people around...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this guy, Mickey Vulcan, was like, took it very seriously, and at one point he actually kicked out someone on the Whalers from the circle in a face-off because he was trying to cheat. He was like, uh-uh, dude, not on my watch. Not happening. He took it like, really seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they only had to do one period before the real refs managed to make it through the snowstorm and showed up. Oh, so they did show up? At which point, yeah, they showed up. Okay. And, uh, according to the rules, once the real refs show up, you have to abdicate the throne and let them come- Of refdom? Of refdom. Knowing that this rule exists, would you have any interest in being an NHL ref?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should study up in case it happens. You should start going to more games. Although I am concerned that I'm gonna read a news report that like a van full of NHL officials met some awful fate because they had their brake lines cut or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm happy to report that Charlotte is now under constant surveillance and is a threat to nobody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks a lot for watching Weird Rules. It's this new series we're doing where I'm telling my buddies fun stories that have developed from exactly that, Weird Rules. So, if you know a story like this one, leave it in the comments and maybe you'll see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the one thing that I expect. Hustle. My name is Ricky Whitlock. I'm Kai's surf mentor. I don't like the term coach. Surfing is an art form. You have your own style. I've been a professional surfer for the last...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll start fiddling out the weaknesses here and there. We're gonna work on a couple contest strategy and like wave knowledge, wave selection, and that's knowing which wave to go on, knowing when to be patient and when not to be patient. Right now I think the biggest thing with Kyle, it'll be getting him on better waves a lot more often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The handful of kids that I caught and the other kids that I worked with, they're motivated. So it's cool to see kids that surf good, have good attitudes, and be persistent. They don't get down when they lose a contest, they're still at the next contest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does a lot of off-ice training as well. He really, he uses the Super Deeker as well as some other devices, training hockey devices daily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he has several coaches a week. He sees two different coaches, typically one per day that help him with the rollerblading as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Gregory, one thing that sets him apart, and he does stand out, is his ability to pick up things very quickly. Typically on the ice, he has a really good sense of balance, and that really does set him apart along with his perseverance and determination. He doesn't give up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I have no really preset expectations for Gregory other than that I will support him in whatever he pursues and I do feel that this guy is the limit with Gregory because of his tenacity and his hard work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we first started practicing, when we got into the sport, we're hitting eight hours a day, five days a week, just riding all day long, just so that the boys can continue to get better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They both pretty much like the same things. It's kind of weird because they're six years apart, but yet they act like they're twins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ronnie pushes Joe because Ronnie is the king. Ronnie is a better rider than Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Ronnie pushes Joe because Ronnie's older, so he does bigger tricks. He can get more difficulty on tricks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that motivates Joe because Joe's such a competitor that he wants to keep up with his brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe on the other hand, motivates Ronnie because Ronnie knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe's right behind him. So Joe has got to the point where he's good enough to where Ronnie


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't continue to progress, Joe will hawk him down. So Ronnie's always worrying about Joe coming up, so by Joe's writing ability, pushes Ronnie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's rare that anyone's ever done this in a sport, but they've done it three times in three different events where they both took first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever the boys start getting real good and they start winning a lot of competitions, uh, they start attracting a lot of fans and the fan base start demanding for us to, uh, to come up with our own merchandise and to brand ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in the scooter world, there used to be like 14 sets of brothers that were popular worldwide because both brothers were good. We were one of the 14, but we were the youngest by maybe 6 to 8 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at this particular time, brothers start calling themselves the bow bros, this bros, that bros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't want to be the same. We wanted to be different. So we came up with the last name is Zavala. My sons are young, so we just called ourselves the Z-Boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't miss a day and there's times that we go to a skate park and it opens at 7 and we close it till 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what sets him apart is the fact that he wants it more, and he sees that he can actually build something out of it, and he's trying to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So growing up in New England, you know, it's always cold. Just something we have to deal with, you know. Especially with Chase, he's going to be competing at a national level. And some of the kids he's going to be playing with are from the southern states where it's a little bit warmer. So if he's going to take days off while they're working, he's not getting any better. So we got to make sure that he's able to compete at that level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, don't look that way, just drive. There we go, all the way down. So most kids his age that I work with, they kind of find reasons to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said to Chase, alright, let's call it right there. As soon as I said that, no, let's do more, I wanna keep working. With the level that Chase is at, uhm, I have to find new ways to challenge him. Things like this, adding a resistance pin, has been a good way to help with that. Drive, there it is, push, push, push, push.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I really want to make sure is he's getting faster, he's getting more explosive, he's able to get a little bit stronger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In and out, in and out, shuffle through, in and out, take off. Good, that's the one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good job. He always wants to work. Even when the session's over after an hour, he's kind of upset usually. He goes straight to hockey, straight to boxing. Never stops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seth, you're a big basketball fan. I am. If you had to take like a giant lanky like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basketball center and put him on a football field. What would you do with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you had a really tall, like, NBA center you had on your team specifically to like swap balls out of the goalposts for field goals?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then that's a fantastic idea. Well, too bad. Cause there is a rule against specifically that. And I'd like to tell you about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rule says goaltending by any player leaping up to deflect a kick as it passes above the crossbar of a goalpost is prohibited. The referee could award three points for a palpably unfair act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you try to deflect it as it's going across the goalposts. Like swatting it down with your hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Often enough for them to make it illegal. And I'll tell you exactly why. Please. In 1969, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted a basketball player from Clark Atlanta University named Morris Stroup. And this guy was huge. He was 6'10". He was a pretty good basketball player with very little actual football skill, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to see a really short guy do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, tons. There are tons of rules against that. Yeah, you can't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think there's a rule to do the children in a trench coat move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be very fun to see it at least once. But he tried to do it so often that eventually the commissioner at the time was like, no, I don't think this should be a thing. And so they enacted this rule and they called it the Stroud rule, informally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is now, and it's the Rosenthal Rule. Welcome to Weird Rules. It was one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were playing soccer, what would be the most fun way to score a goal? I think what would be coolest would be if I could kick the ball off the back of your head and it were to go into the goal, so then I get a point and you're embarrassed. I'd be very embarrassed. I'd be a complete fool. There's actually an even cooler way, I think, that's sort of related. And that is if you are the ref, you could just do it yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could be a ref and also score a goal. And it has to count.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not Ryan. I swear to God it's true. A referee's job is to be impartial. Isn't that usually the case? Yes. But, I have a story to tell you. Okay. And it all comes from, I have here, the laws of the game, because in Britain, Nicole Laws, not rules. Yea, so the barrister came out here and he told us what the laws were. Right. For the game. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Law 9 says the ball is in play at all other times, including when it rebounds off either the referee or an assistant referee when they are on the field of play. So you can totally bank a shot off a referee. But I know of a guy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who took that one extra step and just did it himself as the referee. So it's the year 2000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Essex County, England, and it's like an amateur soccer game against Earl's Cone and Wimpole. Two most brilliant sounding places on the face of the planet. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the score is 18 to 1. A player banks a shot off of his head. And it comes at the ref, who's this guy named Brian Savile. And he's like, this game sucks. It's 18 to 1. Let's have a bit of fun, eh? And he just kicks it in the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scores his own goal. Did he get the shit kicked out of him? He did not get the shit kicked out of him. What happened instead was he ran up the field celebrating because he thought it was really funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, so did he score for the team that was winning or the team that was losing? The team that was losing. In fact, the final score was 20 to 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he had accounted for half of Wimpel's goals at the end of the game. Yes, it's a point for you, but do you feel like that's sort of patronizing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it could be. It could be a little bit. You could be a little bummed and be like...

[Assistant] What's all this then? Yeah, what's all this then? I'm just chopped liver, I guess, huh? We've got two points on the board now from Mr. Bloody Ref. Yeah. And he thinks it's all in good fun. Yeah. But then the Essex County Football Association suspend him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here comes that score and ref again. I'm envisioning a future and I know FIFA's doing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's perfect. I would love to see that. I think you should get in touch with Brian Savile, get him out of retirement, and create the first team of goal scoring refs. All ref all stars. All ref all stars. I like that a lot.

[Assistant] What do you think is the most dick move that you could do in a baseball game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it wasn't until a massive douchebag came along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1950, and did exactly that, that they were like, oh, we should probably write a rule to keep people from doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's having a hard time picking up the ball as it comes at him because the second base umpire is in his line of sight. So he's like, hey buddy, can you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shift. Get out of my way a little bit so I can see what I'm doing. And the Empire says, that's a reasonable request. Sure, I'll do it. And he takes a few steps to the side. But, New York giant second baseman Eddie the Brat Stanky, who I have checked, is in the top 5 greatest baseball names of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He goes, bing! He gets like the little light bulb. He goes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna stand where the Empire was and I'm gonna distract him. So that's what he does. He walks over and he starts waving his arms around on the very next pitch. The Braves are reasonable people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they say, okay, you know what, that's fine. They go on to win the game anyway, and they make not a big stink about it. Two days later, Eddie Stanky is like, I'm gonna continue to stank this up a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna keep doing it because I think it's fun and obviously it bothers people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Figuratively. Figuratively. And quite possibly literally. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Giants are playing the Philadelphia Phillies. And now this has evolved into full-on jumping jacks. He gets in the batter's line of sight behind the second base and he just does full-on jumping jacks during almost every pitch. And Phillies catcher Andy Semenick is not having it at all. He gets very upset. And he goes to the umpire and he says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he should be able to do this. And the umpire does what is officially known as calling an airbud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And says, well, there ain't no rule that says you can't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the game they're like, well we probably should have a rule for it. So they try to find National League President, Ford Frick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the next day they're playing the Phillies again and eventually the Empire say, you know what, we don't have an official rule for this but we're going to eject you anyway. But at that point the damage is done because Andy Semenik, the guy from the game they played the day before, is still so fired up that he actually slides into

[Assistant] I assume having a 95 mile an hour baseball hurled at you is an extremely difficult thing to hit in a normal circumstance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let alone with people like, holding up giant...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pictures of your face. You, John, you, John Voices face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you ever play sports or games with that kid who would always find like annoying loopholes in rules and make the game like basically unplayable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if I told you that one of those kids grew up and actually changed hockey because of the shit that he was pulling during games? There's not one, but three rules at least that exist because of his tomfoolery. Would you like to hear about it? Yes I would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His name was Roger Nielsen. He was really good at finding weird little nooks and crannies that he could take advantage of and bring the game in some cases to a complete screeching halt. Roger realized that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite how many penalties a team took, you could still not have less than three players on the ice. Towards the end of games, to protect a lead, you would keep


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this, they had to create this rule, section 9, rule 74.4. It's really wordy, I'm not gonna read the whole thing, but it's basically just about deliberate illegal substitution. I feel like they should put credit on those. Hat tip to Roger Nielsen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what he would do is just substitute in a defenseman for the goaltender and there was also no rule that said the goaltender had to stay in the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these guys on the other team would line up for a penalty shot and then the defenseman would just charge at them as fast as possible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they usually had longer sticks, too, because of their position, so they would steal the puck away from the guys before they could get the penalty shot off. Because of that, they made a whole lot- I mean, this is the whole rule right here. Section 4, rule 24.2.
