[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of the organizations and the teams that represent this country stand up and provide that same opportunity across the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They call me the crazy uncle. I'm passionate about the game of basketball, right? There's only so long this ball's gonna bounce. When you have an opportunity, let's take full advantage while we in here. Like, I tell guys all the time, I'm not here to be your friend. You're gonna hit me at first, but you're gonna realize I have your best interest at heart. I'm gonna do it, come on. Put it down. Go finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our goal is to make sure everything is game-like no matter who you are. Some always have coaches on hand. You know, a lot of guys train one on O, one on cones, but that's not the way the game is played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can turn into a shape, long, you know, plays bigger than he actually is. He plays at his own pace. So we're working on his on-ball creativity. Staying poised when guys climb up on him, cause him being a long guard, when players get up on him, he tends to get sped up. Wide base, you can change pace too. Ain't gotta be one pace. Come on, work it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the one key area I think if that evolves, he can be anything he want to be. My goal for him is to be that type of player. A shade type. A dual point guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. He stacks up right there with everyone. He's number two in the country right now, as a sophomore. His ceiling, I don't see a ceiling. I don't look at him and say, there's a cutoff. I think he can be as great as he wanna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I say that early, not because of where he has skill set wise, but his commitment to his craft. I think he could be in HOF one day. And I've said that about a lot of guys early and people thought I was crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you have a kid with his attributes, his skill level, his size, his length, the intangibles, coupled with his willingness to be here almost every day, I think he's gonna have a really, really long career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It goes to the administrators, it goes to the conference commissioners, it goes to the coaches, it goes to the assistant coaches, it goes to the weight coaches, it goes to these fancy buildings, it goes to a new football stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About 45 of the 50 states where either the basketball coach or the football coach is the highest paid state employee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course you can afford to pay the players. You've just chosen not to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The money was so important for the universities. They were gonna play football come hell or high water. It didn't really matter if the athletes got COVID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were going to play. They'd always said, you know, they're students first, and you know, athletes second, and they're there for an education. So here you had a situation where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's one of the reasons these schools should not be upset about NIL. It doesn't come out of their pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, you're making the players happy, and you don't have to pay anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They resisted because that's the way it's always been. They do worry about the disparity between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The quarterback getting a car ad and hit the center getting nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a legitimate reason why you want one set of NIL rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Because otherwise you really get into this thing where 50 states have 50 different rules, and it's a mess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd have recruiting advantages, you know, based on what your NIL is in California versus what your NIL is in Maryland. The most logical place for this to be sorted out is Congress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the pandemic descended on the world in 2020, people needed some outlet to get out of the house, to be around friends, maybe even get in some light exercise while not risking spreading COVID. OneSport checks all of those boxes. And that is golf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An increase of about 500,000 and 2% over 2019. The largest net increase in 17 years. golf's popularity right now has only one comparison in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's more than just the pandemic that has made golf's popularity. It's also sweeping changes to the game itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition, there are companies and technologies emerging both on and off the course that are making the game more accessible, making players better, and diversifying who decides to play the sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But can this popularity be sustained for the long haul? That's what I'm about to find out. This is the future of golf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can the age-old game of golf convert its momentary success into permanent gains?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's the thing about golf. It's hard, it's expensive, and it's intimidating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in a place like New York City, it's really hard to find a real course that you can actually get access to. But there is one place that's starting to figure out a couple of those challenges. First, the space, and second, the intimidation factor, and you don't have to worry about being as terrible as someone like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Topgolf is like if a driving range, an arcade, and a bowling alley had a baby. And it's the leading off-course golf experience in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are currently 70 top golf locations around the world today, and it's growing fast, with the biggest top golf ever slated to open in China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Artie, tell me about your customer because as they come through Topgolf, it's not just folks who look like you and me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since traditional golf skews old and white, Topgolf's gamification of the driving range appeals to a younger, more diverse crowd. People who might not otherwise even think about picking up a club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, there are aspects to Topgolf that appeal to more serious golfers, and that's its technology called Top Tracer, which gives the customer more information on the distance, height, and speed of their drives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes to the popularity of Topgolf, it's a rising tide that lifts all boats for both Topgolf and Callaway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're a data guy, analytics, go to business school, get this idea, and the idea turns out to be a golf tech company. How? Why? Tell me the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So use this to help me understand how this technology would help me as a putter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What left of it? This is like, this is the craziest, this is almost like miniature golf one steroids, right? I don't even know what to do here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a way to look at this, interestingly, and I want you to break this down for me, where you look at this like, well this is really only for really good golfers, like who can understand the data, who can sort of take this in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, then I can make the case, this notion of like, actually this is for really crappy golfers. I mean, it's a fair question. In fact, it seems like it's for everybody, but I want, I want you to help me understand like, who gets what from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So give me the numbers here, like in terms of growth and this is all about data and ever bigger numbers mean better data, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, in order for golf to maintain its momentum, it needs companies like Callaway, Arcos, Topgolf, and even the PGA itself to continue to emphasize the importance of including a younger, more diverse demographic to play the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Golf has needed, I dare say, for a number of years, a little bit of a reboot or a recasting of itself literally and figuratively because this is a demographic that the traditional demographic of golf is getting older year by year. Do you feel that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't have the biggest arm, but I feel like I'm pretty accurate my ball placement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something I'm working on with Coach Taylor right now is loading my hips and getting my hips through to generate more power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching film helps a lot with knowing what certain people are doing without actually looking at them. I just love to problem solve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rupees cubes like this helps a lot with my mental game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love to prepare. I think that's one of the most important things with anything you do in life. Once you prepare, then you can play at your full potential.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a perfection that, that we're striving for. You know, I think it's just leading by example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it's that I go to modern day or what, but people have told me that I play like Bryce Young, but I try to model my game after Aaron Rodgers in the NFL and Patrick Mahomes. They're two great players. I try to, you know, take little things that they do and add it to my game, make myself better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a lot of people forget to have fun when we're playing high school football at a high level like this. You know, it's just an exciting sport to play and I happen to be good at it. A lot of people forget to enjoy those moments out on the field. It's a team sport, so I'm gonna need my teammates, they're gonna need me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams adapt differently to relegation, but some just go straight down. You know, they just can't cope. It's like the whole fibre of the club, uh, seems to collapse.

[Assistant] My name is Wally Muhammad, aka Coach Wallo, and I'm Things That.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody thought I was crazy. They said, man, he's special, he's got a gift. James Jones, the NFL analyst, he came and watched him play in Orlando a couple of years back when we won our first national championship. It's just been uphill from there, you know, visiting camps and visiting schools and Bichon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking pictures with Arch Manning at Coach Kenny Baccaro, you know, invites us to, you know, this pro week. And he said, man, Zayn's got something, you know, special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's local leagues right now that he can't play in and it's sad because of who he is and his abilities. We're having to drive, you know, almost two hours out the way for him to even play places. But you know what? That's a sacrifice that we'll take as his parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His work ethic. You don't find that in many 11 year old kids. It's more the parent that's kind of driving them to do it. And what I like about him is he comes in and like if he makes a mistake he wants to get better. Go, really get down. There you go. Good, that's a good ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His first training, he started off with five yard throws because he was younger and he was like mastering them. So I was like, this kid's, this kid's advanced. So I was excited to work with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had the arm strength, he had the tools, it was more just fixing some of the mechanical pieces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little Justin Herbert a little bit. His upper body mechanics. You know, strong arm, right? I mean, really strong arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well QBIQ is your awareness, right? I can train anyone to throw the ball. You can throw a beautiful interception like I always tell a guy. It's about understanding where the ball needs to go. 80% of playing quarterback is the mental side. And his IQ is high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sometimes mixes with the soccer and freestyle community. There's really no limit to what I can do other than like the rules of the game of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I described my soccer style as spicy. Not flavorless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Adrienne McCormick, I'm 12 years old and I play soccer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mom actually introduced me into soccer. She's been playing for a long time. She was playing when she was pregnant with me and it's always just been there for me and it's something that we do together. She's taught me how to be aggressive. She's taught me how to get past defenders and especially like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wrote about how women get paid less and they have less respect than the men do when it comes to soccer. It made me feel upset, but it also inspired me to write about it because I want to be part of the reason that that changes and I want to be able to help people for the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my art room. I make earrings, so you can see those are here, like all along here. In this drawer is one of these things that I make where I carve out stamps. I made a Hello Kitty one. I made...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a little bottle of Tabasco, and it actually has the sauce in it, and it's good for when your food is flavorless. I described my soccer style as spicy. Not flavorless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's really no boundaries in art, no limits. And that's similar to soccer, how when I play soccer, it feels like there's nothing that can hold me back and nothing that can stop me from being creative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's two important things that I really love about this sport. I like the community and everyone that I've met through this sport. Everyone's so nice and it's really fun meeting new people. And I also like the way I'm able to be creative when I'm on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Days Off means to me that if you really love something and you're passionate about it, you should put your effort into it. I got my confidence by my mom telling me that nobody's gonna be there to tell you to do something, so you just gotta do it yourself. You just gotta build the motivation and go out there and do it.

[Assistant] So when we traveled to France to see the Women's World Cup, she commented to my husband and me how she was surprised that she didn't see other little girls running around playing soccer on the streets like her and walking around in their jerseys. She noticed a lot of little girls in dresses and I think that really stood out to her and stood out to her the way that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Women's soccer was not respected as much as she had thought in her head by the rest of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marquise's personality is very humble, but at the same time he's like a silent killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one of my clients who played for the New Orleans Pelicans, Jose Alvarado, uhm, he connected with Marquise and Marcus. And then, uhm, just through a mutual NBA person who connected me to Jose, he thought I did such a good job with Jose that he thought, you know, me working with Marquise would be, you know, uhm, good idea. And so far so good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the way that he plays is unique in the fact that as a leader he knows what his team needs. So if he needs to go out and score 30, he could do that. If he needs to go out and have 20 assists, he can do that. If he needs to, you know, go out and play defense, he can do that. I think he's one of the few players in this draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, my goal for Mark Keaton is just to be the best point guard in the NBA, right? I don't want him to be the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really impressive in a short time. He's shown me a lot. There's not anyone else who could do the things that he does at a high level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right now we're just setting up our speed and agility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We juggle for 15 minutes, 5 minutes with a tennis ball, juggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For you to be good at controlling the ball, you have to be really good at juggling. All aero control comes from juggling a ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why Messi and Ronaldo keep practicing every day and keep working on passing because the more you do it, the better you get. And if you stop doing it, it's not like riding a bike. You will forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So warm up, we normally do this without the ball, 15 minutes speed and agility, 5 minutes without the ball, 5 minutes with the ball, then 5 minutes with the ball, eerily, whether it be header, chest, different techniques of golf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're very focused on high intensity passing. So this is just moving your feet, quick passing, quick twitch passing. So in a game, you'll be moving fast. You get quick pass, touch and move, touch and move. Also just adding in the speed and agility. Get used to high intensity passing and making sure your passes are crisp. This is going to be our entree.

[Assistant] We're just sitting for the day when she's in the World Cup final and we all get to go watch and say, that's Jill. And we told you a couple years ago that she'll be lifting in the World Cup for the U.S. National Team because we just know she has that about her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is a two-time AAU national champ. This no days off is a real thing. Every day I can see the growth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh, wake up. Let's get our day started. I wake him up about 6.30, 6.45. We got five minutes and then we gotta go to Gigi's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We decided to homeschool because he kept getting so much interest from out of state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you preparing for this week? Why are we going so hard this week?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do go out every week. What makes this week so different than every other week?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to go trial for Jay Law's USA team. And if you make it, you'll have the opportunity to potentially go, uh, to Australia for 13 days. So, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 13, yeaah, for a whole half, pretty much a half a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After homeschool, we come here. I own Triple Threat Training in the DC metropolitan area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think of myself as just a trainer, but also a mentor. As Josh's dad, he gets the best of both worlds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The moments that we had in this gym, those father-son tough moments, where he breaks. Stay up, stay up, stay up, stay up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen him bounce back just like he really wants it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's nine years old and we make 500 at minimum per day. It's practice. It's hard work. It's no days off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen him pick himself up and dust himself off and get right back to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't a, uh, ball family story. This is a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Family that says family is love, is perseverance, is when times get tough, lean on your support system, lean on your tribe. There's so many more people that pour into him other than just me. I'd like to see him get a full scholarship. I'd like to see him have, you know, money in the bank to invest in himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'd love to see him go to a really cool college where I can just be a dad that wears the varsity shirt and go to the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is truly a lifestyle and it's not for everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not everybody can do this, so when you think no day's off, think of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long, long days, early mornings, long nights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's another day. You know cameras are rolling. Push yourself. Go as hard as you can and give everything you got. Alright? Let's go. When we get up, rinse, wash, repeat. And that's our life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Week by week we have, uhm, certain focuses and we have certain challenges and in like many competitions within the team. And so whenever that comes up, she always wants to win. So I think that's something that's in her that's never gonna fade. Uhm, I think because of that, that's really gonna allow her to just go above and beyond in whatever she chooses to do, which right now is obviously gymnastics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can throw, he has good accuracy. He does good with throwing the long ball. But I think a characteristic that he has that a lot of kids across the country doesn't have is his determination and work ethic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Mike Evans. I'm the CEO and founder of Lace Facts Academy, a school in Carson, California.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Jayden's life, I'm basically a mentor, trainer, a coach, uh, somebody that's helping him get to his dreams. I was a football player at the University of Louisville. I also played at University of Nevada. I had a chance to play with Colin Kaepernick, a lot of other NFL players. I think the moment that I saw


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wade, uh, we call him Wade. Jaden, uhm, being special is when he was eight years old. You know, you talk about success, you think about winning, and you think about overcoming something. He actually failed, he lost the Super Bowl game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came and started working out. He said, okay, I want to be better. I want to win the Super Bowl. I want to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do better than I did last year, and seeing that come from a kid that's eight years old, that's a big shock. Cause you rarely see kids, you know, after they lose, want to get better or want to put the work in so they could, you know, overcome. He pushes himself. Other kids, they might quit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boxing plays a big part for a quarterback because it allows you to react. You know, uh, hand placement, being able to see things before it happens, uh, feetwork, and also being like super disciplined. You know, when you're a quarterback, the ball has to stay up. When you're in boxing, you gotta keep your hands up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many kids with all the ability not make it. You know, cause it's always something else that keeps you. You know, it's the work ethic, being on time to practice, being a good person. You know, it's not just always the God-given ability that God gives you. I also think a big part comes in is his circumstances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, where he comes from, uh, his environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wade comes from, uh, Watts, California. I grew up in South Central, about four or five minutes from there. Uh, so a lot of the circumstances that he dealt with is what I dealt with. And being on the football field training, putting the extra work in in the classroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's what saved my life. And I think it'd be the same thing for Wade. I think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him being able to be around good people, like myself, you know, I went to the University of Louisville, uh, Coach JB, uh, that works with him in boxing, went to UTEP, TRAF.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playin' the NFL, if they feel like, oh, I can't do it, like, we're able to tell you no, yes you can. We did it. You know, the fact that we did it, that mean you can. That's a difference, you know? We didn't have us. He has us. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this going to escape, you know, the gang violence around? No, you can't escape that. The only thing we can do is being inspired by it and push to be more successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know a kid that when I talk to they be like, oh, I want to, you know, clean the streets. I want to make sure my neighborhood looks clean. You know, like, he's only in sixth grade. Him as a sixth grader talking like that lets me know that it's clicking and our message is getting through and it's definitely making me proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, head of football operations here at the ranch. Young athletes like Jeremiah. Uhm, that's kind of the culture that we're building here. And what stuck out for me about him is obviously his size. That's the first thing people see. But I was more impressed with his hands. You gotta be able to catch, block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's so much more to the game nowadays because the game has evolved. His stock's only going to go up if he can continue to grow that. And as a coach, it's a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jonathan's focused more on the strength and condition and the running back part. I attack more just the mental, just focusing on sharpening them, getting ready for the next level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's working on his hands and his craft on the field. Our job is to enlighten them. And then he's on our 797 team. It's a big deal these days for these kids. It's a good way for them to continue in the off season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's more team driven than he is individually driven. And that's probably the most impressive things to me because he cares more about his teammates than he does about himself. I think Connor's drive and passion is what really stands out. He's not afraid to miss something because he's trying to reach his ultimate goal. And that's not always easy for a 15, 16 year old kid to give up something. That's what really makes him successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Anish Sharda. I've been helping Jordan Hawkins, the great guard from UConn. I got a chance to meet Jordan last summer. I was impressed with how hard he worked in his preparation for this last season, and no surprise, he had a great season over at UConn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just try to prepare them for being a professional. What that means is we try to get them in the best shape they possibly could be in to get ready for these workouts. I think the hard part for these guys, you know, they work six days a week. It can become a grind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he's gotten stronger. I can tell the work at Proactive in the weight room has helped him a lot. We want to keep sharpening his shot. He can shoot it. He's a great shooter off the catch, off the bounce, on the move, and we just keep working on that every single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jordan's already a great shooter, so we don't need to really work on that. What we want to show is what he actually has is great footwork. And I think that's a big separator in the NBA. You know, players like Kobe Bryant and Steph Curry, they have such great footwork. We're just consistently working on that, trying to get that better every single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't want to get Jordan in trouble here, but he's got great footwork that reminds me of Kobe. Kobe had great footwork, I thought, and I think his ability to put it on the floor, shoot on the move, shoot off handoffs like Clay Thompson, you know, they both have similar size. They move really well without the ball, but they can also make and create shots with the ball. So I think that's a separator for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jordan is one of the elite shot-makers in the draft, and with the work he's done, I feel like he's ready to take that next step and be a good shooter in the NBA. It's about fit in the NBA, and uh, Jordan would be a good fit for a lot of teams. But especially a system that involves movement, player movement, ball movement, Jordan will excel in that, like he just did at UConn and he was able to win a championship doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were playing Modern Warfare and then we got invited to a LAN tournament. He gets a quick two-piece, he takes out the defending champs and the crowd erupts, it goes crazy. To me, I was like, this is what it's all about.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's his main setup, he's got a dual PC setup over there. When he's gaming, this is his game screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when we're streaming, this would be like his chat for stream so he could kind of like see what's going on with chat and stuff like that. This is where I'll do like all the editing where we'll make our TikToks, our YouTube shorts, our full length YouTube videos. That's Rogan's main channel, the Rowdy Rogan YouTube channel. He hit a hundred K a long time ago. That was our first plaque that we got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the Rowdy fam just hit 100k this year, so we got a second plaque.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We already have a spot set up right there for, for your first gold plaque. Let's go! I'm excited about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when he was in the hospital being born, it was during shark week. And I just remember the whole time, like in the hospital, sharks on TV. And ever since then, it's just kind of been sharks. Like everything related to him and what he does has kind of just been like shark theme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played a flag football tournament inside SoFi Stadium two weeks after the Super Bowl, and he caught a touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that good work, huh? Alright, bro. Good job interviewing with me. Now what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technically, she's very, very good. She's this kind of player that's always extremely focused, that never gets distracted. She's doing special things on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's considered as the strongest league in the country, the ECNL, uh, Elite Club National League. She's really dominating on every aspect of the game. She's an offensive player, she scores a lot of goals, but of course she's very dedicated defensively. We're playing a style of play where we're really trying to use her as a target, as a point where we can build our attack around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She reminds me a lot of Zlatani Bremovich. This very tall and athletic central forward that's able to be extremely strong back to goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Successful is because she really enjoy and appreciate the process of doing what she's doing and I want to help her with that, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't make it to where she is without putting in the work behind the scenes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up? My name is Kelsey Whitmore. I'm a professional baseball player and this is Grind Mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was introduced to the game when I was at a young age. Always grew up playing in the front yard with my brother. Always played catch with my dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd set up a little like field with the pillows and the couches and we'd always be in the house playing. We'd have to put the picture frame down on the side like face down because my mom would yell at us any time we hit it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just loud all the time, but like, that's for sure a memory that comes to mind when it came to growing up playing baseball. When I was younger, the adversity used to eat me up. A lot of the camps, the facilities that I'd train at, the tournaments I'd go to would be all men that played there and that I competed against. The biggest thing that helped me was being surrounded by other athletes that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went through the same thing and I learned how to face it and how to deal with it and they helped me and encouraged me to, uh, stick to my game plan. To stick to who I was. To not focus on what I can't control. And a lot of that reflected on the field. Why do I wake up to do what I do? Like, why do I want to play this game? You wake up and you don't even want to do certain things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My why is I love this game with every part of my heart and my soul, but like I've learned more about myself and more about life within this game than I have learned about life itself outside of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It happens during a game. You're like, man, we did that together. Like, we were just talking about that. Like, we've been working day in, day out for that moment right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my favorite moments this past season, I had been working on the pitching side of things this last season. One of my buddies on the team, we'd be working together, working on pitches. I was able to execute it well the next day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he came up to me after that outing with like the biggest smile on his face. He's like, man, we just worked on that yesterday. He's like, I'm so proud of you. Seeing all those athletes in the Olympic Village and the Pan Ams, I had to kind of take a step back and realize where I was because in the moment you're just, you're going through the motions. You don't realize like the atmosphere and environment you're in. And I had to take a step back and realize like these are some of the best athletes in the country right now. Like I'm surrounded by this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kind of made me feel like I'm here for a reason, so let's act like it. It was a big moment. It was really cool to see that and experience that, especially at a young age. Japan was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Japan was amazing. Playing in another country is awesome. You get to see, like I can mention, see the culture, you see the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The atmosphere. One thing I loved about it was they're very supportive with women in baseball. It was really welcoming to be out there and play where everyone knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we were there for baseball. That was really cool. They really take care of their baseball culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Community is huge to me and I'm forever grateful and thankful for the people in my corner aiming the world to me. They've helped me through some of the hardest times in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got some of my good friends. They've always been, you know, people in my back corner, solid people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Genuinely, without these girls back here, I don't think I would, one, be where I'm at today, and two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I'd be the person I am today. Three, if I'm being completely honest, I don't even think I would be here today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team that I played for this past season was the Staten Island Fairhawks and they're an independent pro ball team of the Atlantic League.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was looking for somewhere to sign before I even went to their spring training. Uh, baseball reference, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had reached out and recommended me to the team and they were interested so I went to try out and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I competed there and then they signed me and then from there I went to spring training and leading up to all of that I did what I always did which was train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any fear, I just wasn't ready to get out there and compete. Throughout my whole season, my pitches definitely evolved just depending on what worked with certain hitters and what didn't work. I'm not, I'm not 6'4 and 220, I gotta work with what my body has, so learning from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every outing and trying to execute whatever you can to get the best outcome. Grind mode to me, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just getting after it, no matter what. It doesn't matter what day you're having, it doesn't matter what you're going through, it's just, you're gonna get up, you're gonna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Set your mind to it and you're gonna get after it. To me, Grind Mode is, it's, it's you versus the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At her age, I've never seen a player with the talent, the determination, and the skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peepee Garcia is, she's a special kid. She's one of the most athletic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kids I've ever trained, maybe one of those athletic kids I've ever seen. Good popover!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What makes her different is speed, definitely. She's fast on the ball, off the ball, quick, very quick on changing direction. Super hard to find that type of athleticism and her work rate. Her work rate just is unmatched attacking and defending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows what he wants. When you find a kid like that, 12 years old, you know he's going to be special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember when they got here, I see the kid skinny, little. And I'm like, okay, let's take a look at this kid. And when he started hitting, I was like, wow, this kid looks really good for a 12 year old. He got a great arm, great mechanic. I talked to a few of my big leaguers. I asked them, send them videos, what do you think about this kid? And they're like, you should keep it. He looked pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember that his dad was like, oh, I want to go back to Aruba and then talk to the family and see how we can do this because it's a big step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the things that I like about the jump is the determination. As a 12 year old, he say there, I'm not going back to Aruba. I want to start training here because I'm not doing nothing in Aruba. I want to get better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The young is a com- he got a full package. But if I gotta talk about one thing that he does, especially the most is hitting. His hitting ability is gonna take him to places that he will never imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came here when he was 12, and the main goal was to gain weight, get him stronger because he was very weak. And as a 12 year old, that's what you expect a kid to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We work twice a day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and make sure that he is the right way. We provide him with the right protein, right amino acid, all of that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, sometimes when you have so much talent, it's hard for you to push to the limits. Because you rely, you rely a lot on talent, so we gotta tell him every day, hey, we know you're a beast in the field, we gotta make sure that you work hard in this area so you can become even better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all the workout we're doing is going to be a lot of explosive stuff just to make sure that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever he's in the field, he translates that to beating, to throwing, to running, all that stuff. I feel like I'm on computer when it comes to training kids and all that stuff. I like to be different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's your job. This one, you're doing jumper squat. When you go down, as fast as you go, the stronger the weight gets and heavier. So, for baseball, they're gonna help you a lot with endurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're away from your family and you're trying to accomplish a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know you can't take this off. You gotta go every day. If you come from Aruba all the way here, you gotta make it count. You cannot just go through the motion and think it's gonna be easy. So even on Sunday he come here with me and him in the cage and do his thing. And that's why he's so special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody can help you get stronger or love away, but if somebody can help you get your mindset right, that will make you unique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She never quits and she always wants more. She's always ready to go. And she always wants that next championship ring or just the win. I love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go! I do her strength training, so just to watch her get stronger with the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From one sporting event to the next sporting event and she never complains and she literally has no days off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it got more serious when I was probably in fifth grade and that's when we had like school ball. I think I first found out about Candace Parker about that age and I had her posters at Tennessee. I was a huge fan. That's whenever I just wanted to really focus on basketball and I had dreams of playing in the WNBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Country music, uhm, I love it, and so we're trying to get a few others to start liking it, but no, uh, we just play different music throughout the week and you guys happen to be here on a Thursday, so we weren't gonna switch it up, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My experience with winning gold is a little bit different than anyone else's. I was actually on vacation and I got a call at about 10pm on a Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the number wasn't saved and I was like, huh, maybe I should answer this. I think I had maybe one practice before we started our games and I can tell you that I've never been more nervous in my life. I couldn't even sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a great opportunity bringing a championship to Vegas. It was definitely a fun experience. We had been kind of close the past few years that this is what we wanted. We knew that this was our goal since we've gotten here was to bring a championship to Vegas. And so to be able to do that was definitely a dream come true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of my goals whenever I first met Becky this off season were to just get stronger, to stay lean, you know, just be more explosive and to just be in the best shape ever. I love being in great shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My grandpa was in the military and he fought during the Korean War. He was also a family person, so I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being one of the hardest workers in the gym, uh, just being super disciplined and just staying on task. Being willing to play wherever to help my team win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks to everyone for watching my video. To check out more stories like mine, make sure to like and subscribe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is extremely dedicated and confident in the work she puts in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that it happened in Hawaii was very special. Her whole family got to be there and I was in the bullpen and I came running down and gave her a big hug and I think everyone just is going to remember that memory forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll call her up and be like, what are you doing? She's doing film on the other team. She's watching softball. So it's a on and off the field type of dedication that she has. And I've seen it firsthand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started coaching Dakota two years ago. She's competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the steps are the same, just the level of intensity sometimes can be different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was never like, strongest kid on the floor. So I kinda had to figure out how to work around that. I kinda was more of a shooter growing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recently I started to round out my game a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm always working on my mental side. I try to stay calm. Just let the game come to me. I don't like to get too angry or too excited or too down on myself. I just stay even and level-headed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basketball players, like, don't really like lifting, but I enjoy it because I know I'm getting better. Especially with Paul, it makes it fun because it's all these different new movements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like the hardest working person I've ever met. She just doesn't stop. My dad, he's driven me miles and miles to all my games and practices and training. It's definitely rubbed off on me. I've been able to watch them work their tails off to give me all these opportunities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This basketball thing, there's so many ups and downs. You could have a great game one night and have not so good game the next night. It's like a roller coaster of emotions with a social media following and being in the public eye. Sometimes if you don't come out and perform, you'll have a lot of people saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was completely under the radar before, no one really knew me. Then I came out and I just played. And then it started to take off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a blessing, you know, to be in this position and to have schools that you used to watch on TV reach out to you. It's a really cool feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around like seven years old when my brother's best friend Trevor put the ball in my hands. We would play over in the pool with the little ball and I'd just shoot all day. When I just fell in love with it super, super fast, I would just be on YouTube all night watching all the basketball I could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shooting is one of my strengths. I feel like I have really good court vision and I see the floor really well. I can sort of see plays before they happen. But that comes from just all the reps since I was a little kid and I've always been a pretty good shooter but I just get better and better and better as I put up more and more shots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basketball is definitely entrance blood for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My main focus has been his mental health, his mental wellness, mental toughness. So that's one thing that I always focus on with him is the mental part of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he makes me so proud. He makes me so proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I got to the point where now it's more of he inspires me because I see his work, because I see how hard he works and the things that he sacrifices and how much he sacrifices. He's just an inspiration to me now at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He started when he was two years old. He started to hit some balls in driving range and he loved it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Mikey Gao. I'm 15 years old and I play football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're always putting your work in and you're really just focused on what you have to do to make it to the next level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always thought baseball was going to be my thing. I was a great pitcher. We had a state playoff game and I threw 70 to 80 pitches as an eight year old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once I started to cool down, I was like, dang dad, my arm really hurts. My right arm growth plate was split and it was like a huge gap. And I couldn't throw a baseball for a whole year. I became ambidextrous. My mom actually brought it up. She said, why don't you just throw with your left arm? And it's really trick your brain to think that you're a left-hander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My top five quarterbacks of all time are Tom Brady number one, Joe Montana number two, Peyton Manning number three, Aaron Rodgers number four, and then Brett Favre number five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the ambidextrous, first ever ambidextrous quarterback video came out, they put it on ESPN and SportsCenter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stared at the comments like all night. I didn't go to school for the next two days because I was just like looking at my follower count. It was just so crazy. The comments and stuff. That got me like really emotional. Not only just like the hate, but like all the positive comments and I couldn't take it anymore so I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally got off my phone for like two days. Sometimes hate can shut you down, but if you don't let it, then there's no way that it can. So me and my dad, whenever we see a hate comment, we just block them, we mute them. I've just realized that I need to shut down the hate instead of trying to go after it, because that does you no good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I was raised very well. I've gotten surrounded with great people that helped me be successful. Great coaches, great teammates. I really think that's what helped me be more mature in who I am. We have a great first year head coach. He's really taught us how to stay positive through tough moments like adversity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first freshman varsity game was definitely very nerve wracking for me. I felt like my team was counting on me. I felt like the whole school was counting on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everyone just wanted to really see what I could do. And then once I didn't really prove it, I felt like the whole world was gonna be against me. And that was a big learning moment for me. You don't back down from adversity, you strike it right back and you never shut down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite quarterback of all time is Peyton Manning. That's why I wear 18. Yeaah, right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went down to Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana. I met Peyton Manning, Bryce Young, and a couple other great college quarterbacks. That was very cool for me, but I'd say who I model my game after is like different playmakers who like to change the game, like Lamar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Vick, Patrick Rahomes, all these guys that totally take the game and put it in a different direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that's obviously what I want to do with the ambidextrous things. I want to try to change the game forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a team goal, I want to take us to the playoffs and then maybe even make it further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as a self goal, I'd love to get some offers this season. You know, I'd love to build connections with coaches more and more and just keep my stats well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've proven to myself that I can be great and earn it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think being humble, that'll only get people to respect you more and I feel like it makes you feel better as a person and for me it'll help me grow up to be a better man when I'm older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After high school, I definitely want to go to college. I'm thinking of going into sports management or communications.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people preach that can't just rely on football because what if you get an injury? What if you end your career? I want to keep well in school. I have a 3.9 GPA right now. I want to keep my grades up and go into college with that mentality. But if I do make it to the NFL, I want to be successful and be up there with the big dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I approach the game in more of a strategic method, more like chess. Even when I'm playing with kids, you know, twice my size, I never back down. I hold my own and never get nervous. When you got a 15 footer putt, you're in a playoff and the kid's twice your size and you drain the putt. It's the best feeling in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go by Zevi. He comes from one of the first Spanish golfers, Zevi Ballesteros. He was a very, very great golfer. He didn't come from a lot of money, but it pushed him and motivated him. And they made a documentary about him. I watched the documentary hundreds of times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My own pre-shot routine, mainly what I do is I get behind the ball, probably about six feet, and I just play the shot in my head and play out every part I can. If I hit a draw, the Shrekman stances and me hitting it bad are pretty high. If I hit a fade, now that's gonna be straight down the middle. After that, I'm right hand dominant. I set up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much easy as one, two, three. So I got my sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And bam, put it in. No stress. Golf is playing the foulest weather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if it's raining and it's pouring, you gotta play through that. That's gonna affect the ground. Another enemy of the golf course is water by far. So if you hit in the water, stroke penalty. When it comes to sand shots, when you got like a little 30 yard shot, if you hit it too soft, and you catch the ground at the wrong time, you could just be duffing out only 10 feet. You'll skull it straight over the green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another hard part is course conditions. Wind's blowing 15 miles per hour, it's going left, right, left, right, right, left. The wind's gonna take the ball straight off to the side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mom is a saint. She's the world to me. She's the one who keeps me in line and say, hey, stay humble. She helps me with my school. She helps me with golf. She drives me to all the tournaments. And papa, before I had my coach and she was my coach. If uhm, you know, I'm like, Chang, I could do better. He's the one who says, hey, it's alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Puerto Rican, Hawaiian, Samoan, Filipino. I can even go on. I got, I got a lot of genes. And I'm just, you know, I'm blessed and proud to have my last name, Perez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hockey's unique where you can practice off the ice on your stick handling skills or whatnot, but when you're on the ice, you gotta really devote and commit to it. And so, you've really seen him go for the skating lessons and the hockey lessons. Anytime he's on the ice, he really does the full, I'm gonna take it to the next level, I'm gonna go really hard. As he learns this new skill, you'll see it in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stuck to his game and was able to do phenomenal in the tournaments they had. They won, one team won and got second place in another tournament. And he just, he was able to keep up that same level of play with even the higher level players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been a couple of big moments in his hockey life, but it's some of the small ones for me. You know, it's where he gets off the ice and says, hey, did you see my pass? I love it when he goes back and does defense as well as offense. And he recognizes that and how important it is. That's what makes me proud at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's important. He takes enough breaks for hockey, I think, to have a little bit of time off. Jeremiah's always been a very active kid. You know, he and his older sister are always playing, either on the trampoline or, you know, he's never afraid to try a different sport. You know, ice hockey is his purpose and his passion, but he's just always, always goofing around, jumping around the house and he's a non-stop active kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though school starts at 8 30, our kids arrive at 6 45. We train in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a substantial period prior to them showering and going into class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then again, we train right after school from four to five thirty. We're seeing our kids for, you know, three and a half to four hours a day. You know, over a five day period, you're looking at about eighteen to twenty hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in front of the goal, Peyton's actually quite brilliant. The hardest part, he's able to do very well. He's able to score goals. And I think when you look at players that do move on to the highest level, hardest thing to do is find a player that can score goals as easily as Peyton can. And I think that's really where his, you know, his strength is honed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baseball is a sport built off failure, but just to stay mentally tough is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and my dad, we try to, uh, hit four or five times a week and we'll throw in some catching too, but that varies when...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The competitiveness and the atmosphere and the people that you meet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I typically wake up around 4.30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I try to get to Cisco by 5 a.m. and work out from 5 to 6 a.m. He does a great job of developing a program for the specific sport and the specific athlete, uh, for like my catching. We have a good split between like arms, legs and conditioning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'll get in to this place, I'll do some stretching, and then that will move into some weightlifting, and then end it off with conditioning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really helps, like, staying physical and staying strong and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be in the middle of the summer having to play four or five games a day and it'll just keep me strong and keep me going throughout the whole day so I don't get tired, don't get wearing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play catcher. Catching is different than any other position because not only are you involved in every single play.

[Assistant] But you have complete field view and you're an extension of the coach. You have to stay active in every single pitch and you can't take a pitch off. You have to really be like the general of the field and just take charge and really just lead your team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm inspired by the people I surround myself with who have the same goals as me and want to achieve great things. That really motivates and inspires me to just be the best version of myself I can be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For someone looking to start baseball, the biggest thing I could say is just have fun. Have fun and take it slow. The baseball journey is one of the best and most fun experiences life has to offer and just taking it slow and really enjoying all the valuable moments is just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like some personal goals I have is just continuing to develop, getting stronger, getting faster, and just really focusing on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta have a lucky item in the bag. My, my pink llama queso gives me good luck. Gives me like plus 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started when I started walking, so it was probably about like one or so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dan's my swing coach and tripping coach. He helps me with different shots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to focus on hitting a straight shot down the middle of the fairway and at least getting par.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the lesson, he'll send me videos on this app called CoachNow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk over it, what I'm doing wrong, and then he'll show me a swing of what I'm doing correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I go on the range, uh, and then look at those- look at those videos again and then perfect that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In putting, you just have to take a subtle swing, not like you're swinging with a driver. You just take a subtle swing and try to get it near the hole or in the hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keeping it straight right here and then not going, letting it out, just keeping it straight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides golf, I like to play with my friends, hang out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With golf, you have to get a better swing, and that could take time, that could take a month, it could take a year, or it could take five minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Legos, you could have a Lego that could take five minutes, a month, a year, a week. And that's, I'm kind of like the guy who builds bags, takes a break, puts it aside for the rest of the day, and then comes back tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Golf is something you have to practice and put time and effort into what you're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sophia's definitely mentally tough. Practicing with the guys every single day. Not hesitating to jump in, you know, just play football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sophia's leadership on the field is unbelievable. I mean, I'm a team captain and I look up to her. Not too many girls play football on a boys team, so she had to step out of her comfort zone, which she did, and it was awesome, you know? She's mentally tough, you know? She goes out, plays football hard, has fun, and she's dedicated. I've known Sophia for about eight years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got 10 squats, okay. Big toe into the ground. Grab the knees apart. Let's go. 10 squats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Andy Luasis, owner of Core Fitness Miami, and I'm Nicholas Trainer. So today we just did some mobility on the hips, ankles, some glute activation work, and also some core work as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a tough exercise, okay? Be ready for it. Slow down. Well, from watching Nicola play, I can say he's a very skilled player. I think working on our, on his athleticism has been our main goal here. He's already got all the skill that he needs on the court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd usually take your child to a playground to tire them out. By the time he got out of a baby jogger, he was moving around so much that one playground wasn't enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tripped over my own feet, fell into the water, and I knew immediately that I had broken my wrist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then when he saw me get up and I think he saw my face was just like white or gray or something, he realized that I was really hurt and then he was, he became really scared. So this is my wrist and this is my nine trails wrist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had run every step of the way with either Gabriella or myself. And we knew it was 11, tough, remote, up and down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miles to the finish and he decided that he was going to do it on his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not having the anchor, meaning me, with him, that last part he finished an hour and a half quicker than he and I had finished it together. It was clear that when we were doing runs, I was slowing him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like him to be remembered as the way he is. He's, he has a lot of love in his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's passionate about what he does. He's inspired us as well to just keep in shape and keep going and being outdoors. So yeaah, it's pretty cool. Honestly, he's kept us young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you do what you need to do, if you work hard at everything you do, it will transfer on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's always been around baseball. He's always watched it on TV. When Tyler was 13 years old, I really saw that he had this passion. He came up to me and asked me, what does it take? And we had that conversation and I asked him, but you have to understand, are you ready for this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get up early in the morning and we do 20 minutes of straight working out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the other trainings that we do, we focus on infield work and high intensity to kind of condition the body to the best that it could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played all through high school, and I've been a coach for about 20 years now. And I train in explosiveness, weight training, and I train in speed. I believe when you have a father-son relationship, there's always gonna be some type of friction. Because it's like, are you sure you know what you're talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler got to where he is because of his hard work and dedication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Tyler ever gets off track, I tell him, you were made for this. There's gonna be 0 for 3's. There's gonna be injuries. But you have to keep on track with your goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I attribute his success to him. He's the one that's doing the work, he's the one that has the mindset, and he's the one that's motivated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, talent could go only but so far. Without hard work, it's not going anywhere. I'm happy for him. I'm proud of him. But I know that there's still work that needs to be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a perfect role model for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys that play multiple sports, you gotta be able to get up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just watching him just get loose and use his power to hit. Cause he's not a singles hitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not one of those guys that, yay, make contact. He's the guy that cleans the bases. So that's what we're working on, him just driving the ball consistently. Uh-huh. That's loud noise. Doubles are better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has that thunder, that thunder, that just sounds different off the bat. And when you have guys that have that kind of power, you kind of want to utilize that. You want to get it out of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so when I'm working with him, I want him to just swing away and feel what he's doing. And I have a couple of drills that I have him do so he can get the muscle memory down. So when he does swing and he gets it down, he gets it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so the main thing with baseball, with hitting, you have to swing every day. It's just one of those things that if you don't use it, you lose it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coach Pruitt is a great coach. I'm really happy that I get to play for him and he loves that I'm really competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted to go there I think for her whole life. So then UCLA offered me and it was a really exciting moment in my life because I was like, okay, dreams do come true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of my goals for college, I want to get in there, you know, work hard and hopefully win a championship when I get there. After college, make it to the WNBA and continue to play basketball for as long as I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One piece of advice I'd give to younger basketball players is to work hard and have fun while you're doing it. You don't want to do something that you're not loving, but work hard, have patience, it will come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Olivia every single time when things get difficult on the court, she's that player that always welcomes it, steps up, executes under pressure when adversity strikes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we would get home, she would want to spend more time with me doing these drills, just one on one. And I was just blown away by how quickly that she was developing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was training older players, including her older sister, so four or five years older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Olivia would always want to be a part of those trainings while she was much, much younger. So we're talking like four years old. She would be able to keep up with all of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'll have her breakfast. She'll do about an hour, hour and a half of school. At 10 a.m. she would be doing strength and agility. Uhm, Olivia's, uh, in her first training session.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with her, at her age, we don't push weights. We're just doing everything footwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Olivia's an incredible dribbler, uh, so sometimes we put two and even three basketballs, uh, for her to be working active off hands. Training those movements are very important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have them go one on one against each other, just cause again, they're, they're sisters. Uh, they have the same, uh, basketball dream. And so there's times I have to pull them apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just his ability to skate everything, man. He's not too picky. But he'll hop on a ramp, he'll hop on a bull, stairs, rails, pretty much anything, man. He's just fun to skate with. Always has like a good attitude, which is just as important as the skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've known Tyson for probably like three, four years now. I've known of him for a little bit longer. When I opened the shop, I kinda pulled him towards what we got going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, as much as it's a store, it's definitely like a community center as well, if that makes sense. It's kind of like the hangout spot. Uhm, just gives everyone a place to hang, meet up before we go skate or after we go skate. It's just like an important little hub in our area right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I'm not skating, I love coming to the beach to run, relax because it's so peaceful, calm. Being down by the water clears my mind. It helps me relax and helps me get rid of the anxiety that I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't have much money growing up, so I worked at the deli and came out here with a thousand dollars, used 500 of it on gas, and had nowhere to stay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worked at a pizza shop, worked at a coffee shop, and then landed my first Adidas contract. That gave me like a boost of motivation and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My training schedule now is just kind of intuitive. I kind of just skate. That's really my exercise and it keeps me fit. Physically and mentally, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can skate for two hours or eight hours, but it's like, even on those days where I tell myself, alright, I'll just go for an hour, keep it mellow, I put my AirPods in and five hours has passed and I'm like, oh, I should go eat or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Growing up I actually did gymnastics first. It's very similar to skateboarding in the sense of collaboration of power and elegance. I think it helped me learn how to bail and roll and I always feel like I'm back in gymnastics when I do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes to learning new tricks, I don't have any specific rituals. If I'm rolling up to try it, I only give myself like three roll ups because the moment you do that too many times, you're in your head already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think skateboarding is pretty supportive. It's the type of sport that doesn't matter, like, what your gender is, what color you are, how big you are, how small you are, how young you are, how old you are. You can go to a skate park and if you need help on a trick,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two people that would never seem like they come together would just come together and help each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most challenging thing has just been balancing. I'm not a kid anymore that I could just leave school and skate all day. I can skate all day, but there are consequences to that, you know? Like I'm gonna be sore. Trying to just find the balance of like healthy, happy, and strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really passionate about cooking. I love eating, so gotta cook. And we're actually about to do that right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually vegan, so just craving some alternative chicken today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people I find can get so technical in what they're cutting and how they're cutting it and if it looks perfect or not. I'm like, dude, as long as it goes in my mouth and it tastes good, I'm down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they announced the USA skateboarding team, I was just kind of tripping out because like I didn't dive in like, okay, we're going to do this. It just kind of worked out and I'm really stoked on that opportunity because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Skateboards have a lot to bring as far as like commercial and fashion and all these things, so it's cool that we're kind of getting that chance now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My proudest moment in skating I think would be when I got the opportunity to design a colorway for Adidas. Those worlds kind of, skating and fashion go together so well. And seeing my name on the side of a shoe that I love skating still trips me out to this day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely love just getting into new activities and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carpentry stuff, I got a bunch of saws and things that I just love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now we're making, I don't know if I want to call it a cat highway or a cat expressway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're working on that. Just trying to get them around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My goal's next, they're just to start dropping these skate parts and just kind of building something for myself apart from the contest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've learned for me that they're not for me. And that was a hard decision to come to, but I've been so happy on my board ever since. You know, I never started skating to be competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we got a shelf, I'm ready to kind of take a break and go skate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I come back from the session, I'll sand it and get it up on the wall. But now we need the session.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My advice to the youngins is just keep skating. Don't worry about being the only girl at the park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry about people watching you. I would feel like that a lot when I started skating. I would go and just sit at the park for hours before I got the courage to just get up and do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're only going to feel good about yourself if you just do it for you and nobody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Means just taking it as it comes and going with the flow. If I don't want to skate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was kinda on the energy I was before, and now I'm just like, simple is better. Like, listen to yourself and trust yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything she accomplished, everything she's doing, she works hard to do this. I'm just proud of everything she does.

[Assistant] When he started fighting, he was seven, about seven or eight years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever my kid wants to do something, I'm the type of parent, like, you're gonna do it, you're gonna see it through. That's when I just got serious, serious about it. I actually threw up a video of Ashton's shadow box and working out. It caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather's people and they invited Ashton down to the camp. He sparred with one of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He handled it like a champ, like it was nothing. He did it real good. You know, Floyd was really impressed. Floyd gave him $100. Told him, this ain't gonna be your last payday from me. We still waiting on that payday, Floyd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They started boxing because they seen ash in boxing. I said, you know what, if I don't do that, then everybody gonna fall by the wayside and gonna go back to what they was doing. I just took my savings, dumped it into the gym, went all the way in, rebranded it, structured an amateur team, started bringing on coaches that helped me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want him to have that personal time. I don't want him to grow up with regrets because you only get one childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First time I met Makai, it was impressive. Cause you got a guy that's almost 6'9", he's 365 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is a big, massive, lean specimen. Makai almost looks like a power forward. I've worked with a ton of offensive linemen, but this guy was different. We got a monster on our hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Essentially core. Rotation, anti-rotation, TVA, uh, transversal dominance. It's really a key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Essentially PowerPoint of offensive line function and optimal play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Makai, the biggest things that we want to make sure that we focused on was just stability from the ground up. You know, ankles, hips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Good, get some space between your hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I like about that is you were able to maintain your posture and paddle level right there. At no point did you raise up. Your timing was on point. With you being almost 6'9", you can't afford to hit to come up at any point. Your target is going to be off. This year was all about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get healthy, taking care of the injuries and at development, you know, continuing to get better at what we do. And that's playing off of the line is blocking people. I'm expecting a pretty big year for Makai. I think the focus is going to be for him to be able to stay on the field and making sure that he is being the anchor of that Jets online. Benito. Good work, fellas. Oh, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Makai's main motivation is proving the doubters wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The naysayers, the people that tell him what he can't do or the people that try to find little nicks and acts to bump him down or to kind of discredit or disprove what he's all about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Want to see him end up becoming the most dominant offensive lineman in NFL. And that's truly up to Makai to be the best that he can be. Because he definitely has the potential to be the best ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name's Hannah Roberts, I'm 19 years old and I ride BMX Freestyle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Ryan will be like, okay, you owe me $3.83 if you don't do it. Or he'll be like, cash order. So then you have to go to the bank, and it's super inconvenient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I try to keep like a good hand size in there just to make it like closer to my knees so it's easier to pinch or like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 20 pounds max, but I think this one comes in at like 23. The more I go to the gym, the heavier I want my bike to be, unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day that I go to the gym, it's just, uh, kind of whatever they have me scheduled for. Uhm, so, you know, I work with two different personal trainers because they're both, you know, athletes themselves and they can, they can understand certain things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rose, and you know, that's just, uh, I think, I mean, recently I felt like that's been helping me pump a little bit more, it's been, it's been making my arms a little bit more solid, and then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went to the exercise ball, and that was for core. And then, uh, the slide hammer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just fun. I don't really know what it does. It's just super fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always wanted to do contests when I was 12 and I went to Canada for my first professional women's contest and I did super well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, being the youngest there. You know, and even then, like, meeting all the girls and seeing, you know, other women ride and, you know, seeing them kill it, like, it gave me...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Staying at home and, you know, I met amazing women and I never really thought about marriage just because it was just so far out of the question, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then obviously wasn't in my plan at 19, but, uh, we got two new puppies and we have a, you know, a big old dog, so uhm, yeaah, life's pretty great. The, the last few months have been super insane, uhm, with, with obviously training and the gym. I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't honestly think I've spent a whole day away from BMX. I live and breathe BMX at the moment and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, up until the Olympics, that's how it's gonna be, and after the Olympics, I don't know how it's gonna be, but I know that, you know, every single day, there's no day that I stop thinking about riding. So, you know, I don't have a day off when it comes to riding, because it's my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy that you always want on your team. You know, he's, he's, he's accountable to the discipline that he has on and off the field. Defensively, I think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There aren't too many short stops in the state, let alone Midwest. Just his hands, uhm, really fast and fluid and smooth. The two-step release, which I think he gets, he kind of gets the ball out of his glove, uhm, quicker than a lot of high school guys that I've seen. We're gonna go two hands straight at you. Catch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forehand, backhand, and then switch your feet backhand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of our hips are rotating and making sure that we get them as far or as close as we can to the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then rotate through. Alright, control the middle of your body. This is the first year that we've been kind of actively uhm, working together and also coming up with different programs from his strength and conditioning to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of times, especially for athletes in general, but just the hip mobility, being able to just open that up and prep the kind of day that way we can really maximize what our bodies can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think his speed really plays a big factor. Uhm, just being able to lay out singles and the doubles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Increasing kind of the bunk game to bring everybody in and then it can really maximize kind of what he can do at the plate. Uhm, and that's what we're working on, you know, and that's, that's why he's, he's continually doing that day in, day out just to be consistent with what he's doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't know if you could put a tag on what his kind of work ethic is. It's one of his own, but it's also one where you get everything, everything that he asks, which is all you can ask for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sent Penn, you know, a couple of my videos. It felt like home, you know, when I was talking to him. So that's, that was probably my main decision, uhm, in committing to their school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Nick O'Brien, I'm 16 years old, and I'm committed to the University of Pennsylvania to play baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only started going to Kenny last year and he's probably changed my whole life. He's taught me so much about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the recruiting process and now we're starting to get into my draft stock and how I can get looked at by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, MLB scouts, MLB teams. So he's definitely been a huge factor and he just gets me better. I feel like every time I go there, I learn something new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I like shortstop because I like to be a leader on the field. You gotta, although sometimes you go, oh, for four in a game, you gotta, you know, sprint out to your position and you have to, uhm, you know, get back to work in the field because defense wins championships. My coach Kenny, he's really close with the head coach at Penn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I committed to Penn this past fall. I'm just so thankful that I have the opportunity to play there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to keep a lot of my memories from when I played, you know, when I was younger. So this was the Diamond Nation tournament. I won the MVP of the tournament and we won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always a good memory to have around. And then at the same tournament, I hit three home runs in three days when I was 10, which was kind of a big deal. These are more of my home runs when I was younger. This was my first home run ever, actually. My first home run ball. And this was in districts, which was a pretty big home run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then these are a couple in states. And then these three hats are from when we won, uhm, 2015, 2016, 2017. Uhm, we won the Cal Ripken State Championship, uhm, which was pretty awesome and just good to have all the memories in my room. You know, if I struggle in a game, I always look back at them and be just happy that I succeeded. Hitting a round ball with a round bat is not like anything in any other sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially when it's coming in at 95 miles per hour with movement on it. You don't even have a second to think if you're gonna swing or not. If you hit the ball 3 out of 10 times, you're succeeding and you're Hall of Famer, you know, batting 300.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is insane. So you're failing 70% of the time. And the deal with that is very, very, you know, mind draining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came over one time and brought his pole, and I was like, what, oh no, I'll try, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Begged my dad to buy me my first fishing pole. So he bought me my first fishing pole and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just loved it ever since. If I'm stressed out, I kinda just sit out there and fish and watch the lake and it's really nice during the sunset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It helps me to think more clearly. So it's definitely just kinda like a escape from uh, from life sometimes, which helps me a lot.

[Assistant] Christian kinda came into my life when I was like 12. You know, my only kinda coach was like my dad growing up and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kinda took me in. He's just always been there for me. He's been my...

[Assistant] You know, my role model basically, he's always been, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, tell me the right things, tell me what to do, how to get stronger, how to get bigger, uhm, trying to, you know, get me to play at the next level.

[Assistant] To me, no days off means, you know, working hard every day for something that you've been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, wanting for your whole life. Ever since I could, you know, pick up a ball and a bat, I've wanted to succeed at baseball and it's literally no days off if you want something that you're striving for.

[Assistant] And the cool thing about Seth is, last year he came here to throw as a quarterback and now he's a receiver so he can catch. So he knows both sides. Yeaah, he understands what the quarterback sees too, which helps us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows our drops and how many steps you should take, so we are really in sync with our timing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seth is a passionate player that knows the game from the mental and he is really hardworking, puts the work in. He'll be places.

[Assistant] He's probably the most NBA ready guard I've had. He really already looked like a two or three year NBA guy when he first got here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's an elite defender, and that's why he's gonna go so high in the draft. He's the best defensive guard I've ever had, and I've had some good ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His first step, you don't see it that often, even in the NBA, how fast he is getting by people. You know, he's not a big kid, so his speed is something that he uses to his advantage. He's already a pro. He knows what he's doing. You know, this facility that we're in, there's so much stuff that they can use. He uses all of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was coming in here and like getting shots up before he was supposed to do his stuff in the weight room and then he was doing our workout and then he was trying to do too much. Rest is really important. And so I think that's one thing that Davion's learned being here is like you can't just go all out all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First thing that sticks out, he is a hard, hard worker. He not only has a lot of athletic talent, but he wants to be the best and he's very, very driven. I see a very good career path. I think as long as he stays healthy and keeps his drive, he's going to be great.

[Assistant] For over 20 years, I've worked in professional basketball and I see what it takes for players to be, to make it to the pros. I think if Zoe keeps working hard, I think she has the talent and I think that she's driven that one day she could make it to the WNBA.

[Assistant] So he started playing around on my camera and I noticed that she was putting the highlight package together a lot better than me. So then it just got to the point I would film it and just give it to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She would send it over and it almost didn't even look like the same thing that I recorded by the time she got done putting it all together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you working on? What game is this? The whole season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple days a week, we go to Lifetime Athletics. That's our gym. She'll come in there and she'll work out on her own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playing any sport is about taking care of your body and making sure your body feels good. So, and then plus, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's an athlete 365 days out of the year. So it's not like you can just keep doing the same thing, same thing. It kind of gets a little monotonous. So that's why she does things like, you know, bike riding or going to physical therapy or just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even going to the pool or anything that just, you're still working your muscles, but you're working different muscles. But at the same time, it's also kind of like relaxing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, she went to middle school. They didn't have a girls team. So she ended up being the only girl on the boys team, but she was the, she was the best player on the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's kinda when it first started hitting me like, yo, she's doing this to the boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll go to Radical and Ivan will do cupping or stimming or acupuncture or deep tissue massage. He'll do something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of it is maintenance, a lot of it is core because he also, she also lifts weights there and does different things. Like, you know what I mean? So a lot of it is stability and balance and there's other parts of it.
