[Assistant] And a lot of stuff I see in college I relate back to him and he sees it as well and he's already ready to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we, uh, I mean, we spent the whole summer, I mean, all these years together here in the state, so we grew closer. I got to give credit to all my brothers because most of the time, if I'm not home, I'm traveling with team or coaching, my brothers pick him up too. So he always has somebody to talk to. The support that I have, I'm

[Assistant] In order to do what Sofia does, it requires a great deal of mental toughness. It's not easy to step outside the box, step outside of traditional roles. It takes some fearlessness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This past season, uh, Sofia had really had a solid...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and she scored and, you know, my sideline erupted because of the amount of work that she's put in to becoming a good football player. And later on it was confirmed that it was the first time in, in, in our state history that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a female score touchdown and became, uh, something that, you know, young girls can look to and, and find motivation and to be willing to step out of the traditional norms and get involved with, with a great sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there is a role model to look up to, uh, you know, within our community and, and for girls across Long Island, I think Sophie is a, is certainly that, you know, someone that's willing to, to, to go the extra mile and, and step outside the box and outside your comfort zone and, and really chase what you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't care about the obstacles in her way. She stepped out and she took a chance and bet on herself and did it. And I think that's something that should be applauded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no doubt that Sophia has an extremely bright future. Whichever path she chooses to take, I think the hard work and dedication and the foundation she's built as an athlete will carry her to unbelievable success in whichever path she chooses to take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For certain things that they're looking for, uh, obviously in offseason I worked with other NBA players as well. We have guys that do individual skill work and then we also implement, uh, certain actions that they would see in a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think the mental part in mental preparation and continue to believe in yourself and have that confidence going into this league, which is the best league in the world, no days off means being prepared and becoming a pro at this level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously very nerve wracking and we didn't really know what to expect, but then having something like that really calmed us down and made us more confident and we're just so lucky to have someone to look up to like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I thought no other better person than to do it than Max. Pretty much been one of my biggest running mentors since I was first getting into the sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's appropriate, it's called No Days Off because he really has no days off, especially being a three-sport athlete. And he has an older brother that's kickin' tail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The really good thing in all sports is he brings his energy to every single sport. He's a captain on the football team. He's his incredible strength on the football field. All the coaches love him. Basketball coaches, they love his aggressiveness on the basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, because a lot of basketball players, they don't have that football mentality. And in baseball, when he's up there, he's kind of intimidating. He's a big dude, and he likes to hit the ball as far as he can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a little, like, daredevil in it. For example, he jumped in the pool, he didn't even know how to swim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's kind of a typical younger, uh, brother. Uh, my son and my daughter grew up playing sports and he kind of just tagged along. There's a ball. I want to play ball. There's a football. I want to tackle somebody or, you know, dancing. He would like to go dance too. So he was always kind of tagging along with whatever they were doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He really, really has no days off, uh, physically. Mentally, you know, when he comes home, he likes to do some art, watch some movies, Netflix, just to chill out. But physically, it's definitely a grind for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has a really, really good chance to play at the next level and whether he chooses football or baseball, but I know that football is his passion and it's inside of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shooter, you cannot go to the opposite elbow and wait for the pass. You must catch it on the move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I run around and guard people 94 feet every day. If I don't have a good diet, I won't be feeling good at the games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Mikael Bridges, I'm a professional basketball player, and this is No Days Off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I found basketball, I was a toddler. I was watching the game go back and forth, up and down, and my dad tapped his friend and was like, yo, look at this little kid, I'm like a baby. And my dad would just tell his friend, like, he's gonna love basketball when he gets older, so, yeaah. I was growing up in Philly, and I was a big A.I., Alan Overson, and Andre Gadala fan. Uhm, I moved out to the suburbs when I was young. You know, being in the suburbs where you probably shoot the ball a little bit more,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then going down to Philly and going to the city and having a mix and I think that helped me to where I'm at right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a high schooler, I wasn't really a high recruit. I got my first offer from Delaware when I was a junior. Then ended up getting offers and then committed NOVA that summer. Yeaah, when I got to college,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest thing is rest year my first year. I just stayed the course and then came out my sophomore year, technically my first freshman year, my first year playing. Uhm, won a championship so that was dope. Then going to my last year, just having another


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big year just getting better and then winning another championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to Chipotle after every celebration. Yeaah, so Chipotle, my guys, they sent me a little care package. Uhm, when they sent me my, my burrito card. So I got free Chipotle every single day for a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if you want to ask them, they know. Everybody knows how much I love Chipotle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so I was working out today with my boy Corey. Uh, we've been together for a couple years now. Started off getting the rhythm off the, off the dribble, going to pull ups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] CP and book, they just, they both help me in different ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think learning from CP so much in a couple years where little things matter for him, especially wanting to win. The whole understanding of two for ones or give fouls or setting the right angles, screens, so much little things. And Book knowing how he thinks with the ball and trying to be there at the right spot for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play defense a lot. That's kind of my, my M.O. and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be a elite defender, I think you just gotta first take a lot of pride in it. Takes a lot of hard work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Physically, it's probably LeBron. Uhm, he's definitely one of the toughest guys, especially having a lot more pounds over me. I try to use my length and maybe my feet, you know, my quickness of my feet to my advantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Uh, I just think the biggest difference between playing in college and in the league is just, you know, the durability and how many games you play. And when you play against grown men out there, you're going to need physical strength. Try to build as much weight as you can in the off season because a guy like me is tough to hold on weight in season when I'm running a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause how much he moves without the ball and he can shoot it so well, so you have to guard him 40 feet out. You know, he could pass, he does all the right things. His conditioning is really, really high up, so he's definitely one of the toughest guys to guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I run around and guard people who are 94 feet every day. So nutrition is a big thing for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing about Chipotle is a lot of great options and healthy options, so that's an even more plus for me where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can get healthy food from a spot that I really, really love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get a bowl, white rice, I get a little bit of black beans, I get double chicken, hot salsa, corn, and lettuce. And then sometimes I'll mix it up. So I've been very curious about the plant-based chorizo, and it's very fire. I think the key ingredient


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I have to pick one, it would definitely be the hot salsa. I usually get it on the side so I can dress it up as much as I want sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I want more sauce. And with this plant-based chorizo is just the best combo that you can think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, obviously, I'm not fully vegan, man. CPA, his diet is just unbelievable to see. Uh, never really been around anybody that was full vegan. And for him to tell us his stories about how differently he feels and how good he feels, and years ago before he was vegan and how bad his body was, uh, it's dope to be around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's what keeps me going, just wanting to be the best I can be. So, I think that's what it really is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy, I really don't have too many short, long term goals. My biggest thing is just trying to win and, you know, win a championship and we were close last year and it's going to be tough on us again this year, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Music keep getting better. Longevity. I think that's the, that's the, that's the two biggest things for me. Continue to get better and longevity is trying to always be out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ran to the garage, got the skateboard and stayed on it. Three years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For an hour and a half until he wouldn't fall down. And it all started from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I love is the friendships that Tyson has made all over the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're still friends now. The team that they build together while they're doing these competitions and they're skating together and they're going to the skateboard parks and they're going on trips together and you can tell it stays with them for the rest of their lives. It's a family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so proud of him. He's progressed every week, every year, every day since he started skateboarding. You know, you see it in other parts of his life too. I'm a very proud mother of my son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure you're not hitting the blue cone when you're passing the ball. She plays left wing, center mid, left back, anywhere. She can be on the right wing. She's really good with both left and right. You can't tell which one's her weak foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My style of skateboarding is vert. I love flying and that feeling of the windjust. It feels like it's lifting you up to another dimension. And just the satisfaction of when you land the trick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just like, oh my god, I landed this trick because it was such a drama. I only made, that's my third time doing it. This trick is just, it changed my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's three 360s, three full rotations. When he just came to give me a hug, it felt like I was living a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after seeing Tom Shar do one, it just inspired me to actually try and land one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My top four skaters are Bob Berniquist, Tony Hawk, Danny Way, and Kawhi McKay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So today we're going to show up at one of my coach's vert ramp, skate a little bit there after we're going to go to the training facility, which is a very cool park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're gonna skate there, maybe do some other very fun stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moncho was just like one of my coaches for a short period. While that, he was helping me with my lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the X Games. My other coaches are Kozaki. He was one of my first teachers in Brazil and Franco, he's helping me. He's a great guy. I love him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than lip trick style, like you're, you do more grinds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really hard that other people are gonna stay without you. Knowing the fact I'm gonna get better every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love just bouncing around. It just feels like I'm gonna fly. It's the, for me, it's one of the closest things to skateboarding. Yeah, the trampolines are kind of part of my training because you learn how to spin faster in many different ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surfing, it means everything. It means some part of my culture and it's just something that I would love to do forever other than skateboarding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mom helps me with the kindness and the comfort before a contest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goals is to win more contests. I'm super excited to one day represent Brazil in the Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really hard, trying your best, and just keep that motivation up. I just wanna keep going, no matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything was like Sebi by Estero. Like Sebi by Estero. Look, I can hit this shot like Sebi by Estero. So we started calling him, yes Sebi, and we've been calling that ever since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We used to hit balls from that corner of the fence and we used to put them in an empty lot right here. One day my neighbor came with a big box of balls and he said, here, I got these balls for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, jeez, thank you, you don't have to do that. He said he saw all the balls that landed at my swimming pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For many, many, many years, I retired with 33 years of active military service. I was always gone. Christine raised three girls basically on home. I always felt very bad about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I'm in like in a zone or in a flow, I can't really stop. I just need to keep going. I'm Asher Silp, I'm 17 years old, and I'm a boxer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boxing was something my dad kind of introduced me by just bringing me to the gym and just hitting pads and mitts and just watching film. It was tough. He would just push me, push me, push me until I got it right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always kind of in the gym. I kind of stay ready. If it's a typical day, then it'll probably be like jump rope and shadow boxing during the drills or hitting the mitts and hitting the bag more cardio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] School after the pandemic got a lot harder. I turned pro and the schedule got way crazier, but I think now I will start training a little bit more in the mornings so I can have more free time and more time to do schoolwork in the afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to do a lot of things outside of boxing. I enjoy playing basketball. I like watching movies or playing games with my friends. With Rowley too, I'm lucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a bad little kid. Sometimes he don't listen. He's like a toddler. He likes to play a lot. He'll like grab my pants, sometimes just like yanking it. Or like touch my phone, snatch it out of my hand, and it just makes me laugh. So I just like, you know, it just brings a little bit of energy and happiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stay motivated to probably just think about my family. I just want to have a better future and I would like for, you know, my kids to have a happy life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People text me saying that I inspired them and some people say like I changed their lives. Things like that kind of just made me just realize I could like inspire others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good enough promotion company. We're looking for other fighters to bring on the team. The tips I'll give a younger boxer is be themself and have their own style. A lot of people want to be like Floyd and it doesn't work out for them because Floyd is Floyd. Everybody basically has their own style. Just do whatever works for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next five years, I would like to have a big promotion company, be a champion in my weight class. I kinda look back on like how it was a month ago or two months ago, and I see my progression in the ring, and that's just a goal right there, watching myself evolve every fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played softball and he was always at the fields. We were all athletic and he just kind of followed suit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There it is. We couldn't get the bat out of his hand pretty much. He would go outside for hours and just hit a ball, just always swinging a bat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when he got up to hit, I mean, he was hitting the ball and these kids were getting hurt. And we ended up moving them up to the 10 year olds because he was hitting the ball so hard and hurting people. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this is how you do it, and to like believe in me to do it, it's like, gives me the extra nudge of just like, alright, like do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training with Hannah and Ryan is probably the best case scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's things that she can do that I can't do. She can say it one way and it clicks with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just trying to prove that I'm positive, outgoing, I want to be a leader and show people the right way to do things in life, not only baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always saw myself as a leader and like teaching other people what to do, showing them where they should be on the field. I just thought it was important to be that person on the team that shows them what they're supposed to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The med ball works on being explosive through the ball. Two years ago is when I really started focusing on it and starting to weight lift and get bigger so I can be more competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always like pitching, and then over the years, like, I like shortstop more and second base, just cause I got to be like a leader on the field and got a lot more action. It's really fun being able to compete against others, being able to outwork people and prove people wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, show others my like real character and I'm hardworking and competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, love watching it. Just learning more about the game everyday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we look to individualize their programs as much as possible. So their gym-based upper programs, for example, is individualized to their needs. And the power exercise is all based around movements that you're, that they replicate on field then. So all of the power is done at mainly bungees. And so we look to replicate the exact movements that they're going to make on field and in the gym-based stuff and then hopefully see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as I say, it's a fantastic opportunity for those guys because they get to play at the intensity that's required of them. You get used to it, your body gets used to it over time and you become very strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your lifestyle will play a massive part in it, from nutrition to how you sleep. We really look to emphasize the importance of recovery and the importance of getting themselves right, coming into the next day. Take your break, enjoy your time off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when we start back to work, it's, it's all back to 100% again. It's, it's full, full focus again. It's really important if this is the job for you and this is what you want to do, that you give it 100% in everything that you do. Uhm, because they're playing the Premier League for Leeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good one, that's 93.2. That's a good one, that's it though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called up Penn, got him some video. Obviously he was very, very interested in me. He wouldn't. So I kind of just helped set some things up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been so successful this summer that I let him hit. Uhm, I'm a big believer in less is more. If you're being successful, let's not change things. So with him, it's more so just throwing as much at him as possible in terms of different pitches. Less more so in terms of mechanics. I mean, he's got a pretty good swing to begin with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fastballs, slurves, sliders, cutters, two seams, two variations of curveballs, a sinker and a splitter. He hits everything, but I kind of let him pick and choose in the offseason what he's feeling. Not very often you get game-wret live BP without an arm, so this is the closest you can get to a game. Oh, 94! Oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda am Instagram famous now because I've been on no days off now. I was on Good Morning America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fox 13 news, I went viral because I made a high schooler fall. I went viral because it was on ESPN Sports Center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, because I know they have their own leagues for men and women, but I'm a girl playing with boys, so why can't I do that when I'm older?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Inaga Parker, known as AP. I am 10 years old and I play basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my mom and dad put two balls in my hands and they made me dribble it. And they made me switch the balls around. With both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My record for scoring is 25 points. I was 10 and it was on the high school varsity game. I was a little bit nervous on my first game because, you know, they were like 6 foot, they were really tall. But then once I scored my first two buckets, I was like, you know what, I'm fine, I can hang with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, I had 10 points that game. My first varsity game. Now I'm up to 25 as a fourth grader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my favorite medal is this one because this was when I was in third grade. It was, I was chosen to play in the All-Star tournament with the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, High School Varsity. This is my second favorite medal because we won first place in the Nationals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I love Kyrie Irvin because he's really shifty and he has really good handles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I love LeBron James because he knows how to get to the rim and score easily. In the WNBA, uhm, I love Candace Parker and Jewel Lloyd. Candace Parker, I love her because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's big, can also get to the bucket easily. She knows how to score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Instagram name is APthekidpreneur, and the reason I chose that

[Assistant] Instagram name is because I am a kidpreneur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes it easier for me because I love, like, getting support from my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having my mom as a coach is really fun because she is there for me always 24-7. She practices with me, you know, she's home with me, she does school with me, she does basically everything with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a very strict schedule because I wanna, I wanna be a pro athlete when I'm older. I wanna learn how to not give up and also whenever it gets hard, just keep going. Another day off to me means, you know, work every day, three times a day, you know, just give everything you got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's got tremendous upside in terms of her basketball talents. As long as she continues to put in the work, the effort, really it's just that sparkle in her eye that makes her want to compete every day and be the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's always wanted to just better himself for his team and for his community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have an opportunity to play. He would play. He was just very competitive and just always had a drive to compete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been on 433, they've been on every major media outlet, almost in the world, you know, Vizu Ball in Europe. Their soccer intelligence is through the roof. That's the thing that people see when they see the videos. People that have been around the sport a long time, they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They understand that that movement on the ball, off the ball, and how that correlates to their position on the field is the special part about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you watch him move around the kitchen, it's kind of, it looks like, kind of looks like the soccer field sometimes because they move around each other so well. They know where the other one is at all times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just trying to support their drive for the sport the best we can so that they can go as far as they want to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're locked in by an energy that's just different. Right? It's hard to explain, but when you're around them, you understand it. And I think one of the things that makes them special on the soccer field and what people see is you can kind of see that connection come out in the way they play and what they do. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right here, Bryce, why'd you take 10 steps back right there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most important thing for me is that the things they learn out here, that fight, that grit, that competitiveness, that they apply that. And you learn it here, but you apply it for the rest of your life, and soccer's a sport that's in your blood forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My goal for my sister is the same exact thing. Us both on the field when our parents are watching us in the stands. Me and Zaneela make a great team together. We just gotta keep pushing ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally our day we get dressed, practice some soccer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come back inside, rest for a little bit, then go back outside. Then we usually have training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our life's pretty unique because we play soccer like seven days a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when we're not playing soccer, we like to go outside with our dogs and walk them. We have three dogs. We named our three dogs after three soccer players. Archie Rooney, um, Bailey Suarez, and Coco Messi. So, this is Sophia, our sister,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I describe Gabby as hardworking, determined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pushes me and motivates me. How I would describe Daniella. She is a role model to me because I know I need to push myself to be better or as good as her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep going because it's just a hump in the road. You'll get over it, but you just gotta keep going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No details, okay? Just so we can understand what's in front of us, what kind of day we're having. Obviously it's one of our last practices prior to the tournament. Okay, you're not here to play around?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand that? You're not here to play around. You're here to try to get better. Okay, you need to be sharp for this tournament. This is a big tournament for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She doesn't like being compared, so probably, I wouldn't, I don't want to get too ahead of myself. Probably better, maybe, than Serena or Venus. I, I expect that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very proud, very proud of her, very proud of her for all she's done, all of her accomplishments, all of her trophies. Uhm, but I'm so grateful to have such a great best friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think there's a very innate ability that he was probably born with. And I think the other side of it is that he has a tenacity to work hard and dedicate himself to getting better every day. And he definitely has both.

[Assistant] Right now we're training a lot of guys that are coming all across the country from universities to prepare for Combine and Pro Day. There's a huge difference between football training and what we consider Combine or Pro Day training. Football is this all-encompassing athleticism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where in the combine and pro day, I would say is you're training for about five tests. You have to take all these things that you've been doing on the field for years and put a objective number on them. So to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be able to make sure that they're showcasing themselves in the best light and getting the best objective number. We practice those drills a lot. Here we go. Be quick. I'm watching this off hand right here. I'm watching this hand. Straight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that Rondell does really well is he's very coachable. If you're coachable, if you're open to working hard, you're just always going to get better. He's been able to take his God given gifts and grow them into something that he can take out onto a football field and display and be a great athlete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The importance of rest, recovery, nutrition, all of that kind of intertwined together is really kind of a central tenet in everything that we do here at Exos. Music would just be noise if you didn't have low parts or rests in there. On the physiological side, the metaphor there is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would just grind yourself down and you would never have that super compensation, that ability for your body to adapt and then become better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they're putting in full days work. From the time they wake up to the time they go to bed, it is completely planned out, geared towards


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a unique time in their life and it's I think unique to anybody's life that not many people have been able to put their all into one thing day in and day out like these guys get to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been with Chase about a year and a half. When I first met him, he was a young, small, wiry kid. I mean, he's still kind of small for how hard he throws, but he was full of energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a lot of pop to him, a lot of power. So for him, I just kind of want to build up his strength, make him as bulky and strong as possible, but still work on single leg stuff, reverse lunges. I mean, you pitch on one leg, so we're trying to work at that one leg stronger, split squats, things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a four day routine for him. We'll go two upper body, two lower body, and we kind of blend it around what days he throws. Cause at the end of the day, throwing is the most important for him, so we want him as fresh as he can for that, and then we work schedule around that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Squats are all about force production, so when you're pitching, you're putting as much force you can into the ground and off to the side, so the more force you can put up, the more weight you can pick up, the more you can do it on the mound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every exercise I like to mix in arm care because these guys are pitchers. They're always throwing. You can never have them too healthy with their arms. So we did some waiter walks for more stability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training for the draft, we had specific drills. So we worked on jump cuts, that's the main drills for the combine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be humble and you have to be a sponge and want to learn how to learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they put you in that position to really excel, I think tomorrow's gonna really excel wherever you go. You know what I mean? I just think he has that type of personality to be a media star because he's laid back, good smile, and he's a warm person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody likes him when he works out with the people so I just got big dreams for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many different things that he's been involved in with soccer, like camps over in Europe that he's done. He got to play on the U.S. national futsal team, went to Barcelona, experienced a whole different world there and met kids from all around the world, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's lifelong experiences for him. Some people don't get to see the world and travel the world and experience what other cultures are about and that's why we try to do with our kids to travel all around the world to let them see other cultures, experiences, other life that it's just not here in the United States and they need to see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How the whole world works, and I think that's something that all kids should be able to experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never quit, keep going, go after your goals. His dream, to become a professional soccer player, that's his ultimate goal. You only have one time in your life to do it, you can't go back and do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does a residency program, so he, well he goes to the program at 8 o'clock and he trains until about 11, which is whenever they do their lunchtime. And then from 11 to 2, they have a teacher come in to do their education. And then from 2 to 4, it's training again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's really just always on the ball and he works with this team. Like it's a residency of 17 kids and a lot of these kids are on his own team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I did encourage him to play just because I played when I was younger and growing up my whole life my parents loved watching soccer, like they're big like Mexico fans, my mom is from Mexico, so she's like, just soccer every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he would just be running around all of these other kids and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, for him, I really do think that him just being a professional athlete, he's always said that that's what he wants to be when he grows up. So if he doesn't do this as a living, like being an athlete himself, then he'll probably be the one to teach kids and guide them in the right directions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's so young. He's only nine, but he's already stood out to so many different coaches all over the world. Like, we've had coaches from Brazil, from all over the United States, from Europe and Barcelona just come and like congratulate us and tell us that they have been watching him and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to keep working at it. So I really do believe that this is his path in life. That he will one day be a professional soccer player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gaming's grown rapidly in the past 10 to 20 years. So I think this will honestly eventually become bigger than actual sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For my dual PC setup, this is my gaming PC and that's my stream PC right there. In my gaming PC I have a 3080, uh, it's pretty much decked out with like Mac


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to have the top of the line, obviously, especially for Fortnite. Fortnite isn't a super intensive game. If you wanna play Fortnite, you don't have to have these type of specs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I play a bunch of different games and a lot of them are super intensive on your computer, so I have to have good specs. But for Fortnite, I mean, all you really need is like a 1080. I mean, you could have a 1060 and play it just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting everything ready, obviously I have to like pay for an artist, like set up all of my scenes and everything, like my face cam outline and my starting stream and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so obviously it's a pretty big process, but like the actual streaming aspect of it is pretty easy. So like if you are just wanting to start a stream, I mean literally all you have to do is open up your game, put it on there, and stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had been streaming for years and I didn't really know anything about streaming. I didn't know what affiliate was, I didn't know what partner was. I kind of just naturally grew my community. Uh, so when I got affiliate it was a pretty big deal for me because I was just really happy that I was finally starting to gain a community that would support me and everything I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad introduced me to Halo. I played it pretty much all day, every day. So I got into PC gaming probably around the time that Fortnite came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was pretty bad honestly, I was worse than most probably when they shut off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We ended up going to Pac South in 2019, uh, there was this booth, and it was like a 1v1 booth, and it was like 1v1 a pro, and I ended up beating both of the pros they had there, and my mom saw it, and there was another pro there, uh, who's actually one of my really good friends now, and they were like, oh, you have some serious potential to actually become pro at this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tournaments right now are mostly team tournaments. I'm an IGL, so I'm what they call an in-game leader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being an IGL or being like a coach is actually quite hard, especially for games like Fortnite since there's always stuff changing. So I'm constantly having a review, bot review, just look over stuff and just adapting to everything that's new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually wake up around 10 and I'm starting school around 10.30 and I finish around 2, I guess. Uh, so then I get on after that. I'm pretty much on all day. Until I go to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For physical training, I just run on my treadmill or I'll do...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That core, I have like a little core thing over there that helps me just strengthen my core.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That shirt up there is from Junior Rogue. I was in Junior Rogue last year. It's a really cool program. They taught me a bunch of stuff about gaming and how to be a leader and everything like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mom's been super supportive since that day and she's ended up making the whole organization, uh, with the help of some other parents about, like, having parents that support gamers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I pretty much like learned more about streaming, got more into it I guess at the end of 2019. And uh, that's when I bought like a webcam and I truly learned like the audio and what was behind all the streaming and like the setup behind it and what I needed to have a good setup for streaming and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do it because I enjoy it, I like streaming, I want it to become a career eventually, uh, but at the moment it's just a fun thing for me to do that I just personally really enjoy. Thanks for watching, be sure to like and subscribe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Football you have like set practice and surfing it's like, it's kind of whenever, like you can always practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She started racking up the medals and all-American finishes and it just kind of sky's the limit from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of times I'm in the middle of being...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been amazing and it lets me take that step back to be dad. So a lot of time, I can just sit back and watch her and cheer her and seeing her push through to tears sometimes. She pushes herself to another level without me pushing her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell her all the time that you're not going to have it every time you're on the track. It's going to be times you don't want to hit the gym or go for that six mile run, but in order for you to keep


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we have that calendar set is like 6 a.m.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's having fun and she's balanced, she's loving what she's doing and she comes home and she relaxes and, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really serious and intense and loving it at the same time and then come back home and doing big sister stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mentality is like a light switch for me, you know. You know, off the field we can be friends and buddies, you know, but as soon as we cross that line and the whistle is blown, you know, you're my enemy, you know, I'm out to get you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta keep going if you want to be the best version of yourself. I feel like I'm one of the best center backs in the world. My name is Antonio Leoni. I'm 16 year old. I'm a professional soccer player and I play center back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What attracted me to the game was, I would say, the passion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started watching like, you know, like everybody does messy highlights, Ronaldo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad helped me and my mom and the support from everybody. We worked hard, we stayed through it. Keep your head down. And that's how we got here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We kept at it, worked for like eight years. It got me to where I am today. You know, I can't stop, I gotta keep going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most definitely he expects 110, you know. It's a blessing to have him. Some days, you know, I don't want to get up. He was like, he always tells me, what would Kobe do, you know? And that just pushes me more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of my big achievements I would say is winning the golden ball for like all the players in the USDA. Playing against the best club in the world, Barcelona, at the age of 11. Another one I would say is, you know, obviously becoming a professional soccer player at 16 years old. So this...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my head that I was going to become a professional, but when the day happened, you know, I was excited. It's good to make it there, but it's harder to stay there like my dad always told me. You know, so now that I made it, I know I have to work twice as hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a normal day, I wake up about 7 a.m., you know, I eat breakfast, and then, then I go ahead with the first team, and then I go back outside, you know, work on my touch, little things, you know. Eat lunch, then do a lot of schoolwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we do a lot of strength and conditioning, you know, with the weights and then we do ball skills. Working on form and technique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to say I'm a very confident player. I've always been a leader on and off the field for my teammates. You know, I like to dribble, play passes in between lines. I feel like I'm one of the best centerbacks currently in the world, at my age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides soccer, another hobby of mine is, I would say playing video games with my little brother. It's our little bond time, you know, it's fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's more competitive than I am, you know, at such a young age, you know, it's kind of crazy, but it's a good thing, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For family time, we usually like to watch basketball games or if there's any soccer games, we watch them as well. We're definitely a sports family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With me and my dad, it's something different that not a lot of people have. You know, I'm very blessed and thankful to God that I have the dad that I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he always supported me behind my back. And you know, I love him to death. You know, I would do anything for him. Family is very important to Tony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to become the best American defender. You know, I want my brother to look up to me and be like, I want to do what he's doing. Just to know that he can take that career path, you know, and believe in himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad always told me when I was younger, you know, if you're not working, there's always someone in the world working harder than you, you know. So you gotta go at it every day 110%. You know, some days you might not want to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's very disciplined, she's always teaching them with respect. She wants to prove doubters wrong, I can tell that. The kid's special. She's got that competitive nature, even though she's humble at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Orlando Ramirez and I'm Carolina's dad. We do the jump rope just to get her heartbeat going. We start with doing a hundred or two hundred. We do this almost every two or three times a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do the trick shots and stuff like that. People see it as all that just Instagram stuff. Well, true, it is Instagram. However, she, she's having fun. She has a ball in her hand and she's still working on her skills. That's the way you gotta see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually was playing basketball when I was younger and, and, uh, I would play pick-up ball outside with my friends or, or at the YMCA. She was only like three or four years old and she will be mimicking exactly what we were doing, uh, on the court. And I noticed that she was picking up basketballs and dribbling on her own and she's very competitive. However, she, she doesn't really show it. She's very humble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basketball, if you're disciplined, you learn all the different areas that, that you should be doing on the court. Uh, not only you become a leader, I can see that she's excelling at school with, with her grades. Uh, you know, how she actually treats other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basketball is more than just getting a scholarship. She's teaching her about life and responsibilities. So, uh, I think it's a win-win situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here at USG, we have some of the most motivated individuals. The way I train my athletes here, we don't have to be, you know, raw, raw over the top with it. They coming in, stuff motivated, ready to train, ready to get better, and take their game to the next level. Nice and smooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like AJ, as you can see how young he is, how motivated, how disciplined, passionate about the game, will stand on it, enjoys the training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The line is basically knowing your athlete, knowing the kid, you know, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to talk to him, know his personality, know what makes him uncomfortable, what makes him comfortable. Trying to get him out of his comfort zone, you know, so you don't treat everybody the same. You gotta get a chance to learn your kid. You gotta have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different things in common with the kids. You got one more, that's it. That way you can help them become better and better and better. And that way they know that it's just not them that's in it. It's we, as in we in this together. And once they understand that and they see that, they go even harder for you because they don't want to let you down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't think about, don't think about grabbing it. You want to think about kind of opening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speed drill to do with the athletes is what we did today with the top speed mechanics because they don't do a lot of it outside of maybe if you were a track runner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're not, it's so good to teach the kids these mechanics when it comes to running and improving speed and velocity. Number two, I love my Olympic lifts, hang cleans, power cleans, squat cleans, power snatches of the like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, it also helps the athlete create power at a high rate, which is what they do on any given day when they're running and jumping and kicking and throwing throwing things. They need to be able to create power, do it and do it correctly, which is why I love the Olympic lift and then the top speed max velocity mechanic drill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry I'm missing. That's what I do almost every day. And this is where they go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, it was 8.05 and we were about to go do a little, a quick jog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started playing basketball when I was five. I watched my mom playing it. That's what got me into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember to this day, I was like three or four years old. We used to stay at this place called Decatur. We used to be at this park. I would just watch my mom just shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and then I just fell in love with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training is basically just to help me to be better at what I'm doing so I can try and get greater and greater and greater at basketball. I love to, I love to work out, work out my legs, be able to have a better form. Like just anything I can do to help my game, I love doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what we're about to do is, we're about to go in my room. I'm pretty tall, so, pretty little tight space, so, but I'm gonna let y'all, I'm gonna let y'all come in. This is where the magic happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, you know, quite some of my seeds I have as of right now. Got my computer so I can do my schoolwork right here and stuff, got my PS4, TV, TV, and I got my TikTok light cuz I'll be doing a couple TikToks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Yeezy 750, uhm, the Triple Blacks, and these are from my boy, Mikey Williams. You know, he's doing his thing right now, so big shout out to my boy Mikey. I also got the Fearless Ones, one of my favorite pair of ones I have out there, currently doing it right now, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what am I supposed to repair then? I got these. I ain't even wear these yet. These are my off-white UNC1s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the glow in the dark yeezys. These are one of my favorite yeezys I have. Uhm, I'll probably just throw these on to go for a jog or something, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so with everything going on, I have to do this online schooling, so right now I'm just pretty much going just to class right now. I'm about to join my, cause I have right now, I'm in fourth period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hooping shoes. He's like the only shoes I'm hooping as of right now, really. Well, right now, we're at my friend, Jonathan Grib, you know, just getting up, just putting up some shots, you know, cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just do footwork drills, run, I would do sprints. Every small thing matters. The thing about me, I like to work in silence. I don't post what I'm doing. I just kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. And then when I go in the court, he's going to show. They'd be like, wait. I'm like, where did this come from? I'm like, what has he been doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to be my size, 6, 8, 300 pounds, a lot of people doubted me, always said, oh, like, he's so big, like, there's no way he's going to get into the league or be a lottery pick. And I always say to myself, okay, well, let me just do this extra work now, because I know putting all this work in now, we're going to pay off in the long run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for checking me out. How I stay busy. Now if you want to see more videos like this, subscribe to us on sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching him grow into the player that he's becoming now is just like, it's been a very good thing to see because I've literally been with him right by his side since day one. He's like a very humble and dedicated person and I'm just excited to see how far this goes and be there with him right along the path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, we're literally each other's best friend. Like, we're very close, uhm, we're always with each other. We tend to do everything with each other until it gets like, a little annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he wants to spend time with himself, he'll barricade himself in his room and just play the video game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DJ's so athletic, he has the ability that he'll go and play football and then he might only be popping in here one day a week. He doesn't miss a beat. He can come right back in, pick back up with the guys that are here four or five days a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go play baseball, football, and then come right back and not miss a beat. And that's something like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he, he's a very smart athlete. DJ thinks for himself. He's smart. He can adjust on the fly really well. So those are things that's gonna separate him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In wrestling, in football, and in life. When he's here, he goes hard. He pushes all of our athletes. But the main time that I would see and where I get surprised on DJ is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The big matches. On paper it looks like DJ's gonna be outmatched and DJ got a multiple time state champ but on match day he rises up to the top levels of competition and can hang right there or beat those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the sport of wrestling and football, whatever DJ is doing, it's consistency and hard work. You gotta show up every day, ready to go, and he don't look for the shortcuts. Sport of wrestling is very humbling. One day you're on top, the next day, you take a loss to a guy that should have never beat you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For life, wrestling's gonna teach you, you know, you never know when it's gonna get tough, you never know when the tide could turn, but then the next day they're right back in the wrestling room working on it and getting better. So that's gonna prepare them for life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were in Nationals. That whole game, he was just diming us up, just giving us good passes and everything. In that game, he really showed his leadership that he could actually lead and not sit back. I mean, he got it. Like, Chaz can be one. He's got everything. He's got the juice. Tell me how dance moves. Come on. Let's go in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's worked very hard I think the sky's the limit for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flying is her passion. She's definitely a flyer. She's built to be a flyer. She's tiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is the highest level. If they, if a coach has a choice, they're gonna put Julianne in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earlier you learn a skill, the better off you're gonna be at it. And she excelled right from age five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she walks around on her hands, all over this entire house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sky is the limit for her. I do believe Julianne will become a world champion in cheerleading. I do believe Julianne will get a full scholarship. I do believe Julianne could be on Team USA. I do believe that Julianne could be in the Olympics if cheerleading ever becomes in the Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's start off with our five minute warm up. Nice tempo. Five miles per hour. Just gets you up warm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's easy to coach. He wants to know, you know, when you usually tell him something, that he's doing something wrong, he fixes it right away. And as a coach, that's what you want from a player, someone that responds to it properly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, Jules, do you ever get scared? And he goes, yeah, I'm scared all the time. And I said, what do you do when you're scared? Like, how do you stop being scared? And he said, I don't stop being scared until I land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'd take him on trail rides and we had tiny helmet. I think he was six months old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's very hard on himself. Very hard on himself. Like he gets frustrated if he doesn't do something fairly quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think when he's in the season, he's all the way in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He pushes himself to learn harder and harder things, but Ray says he's like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he will say, I'm not ready to do that. I'm not ready. I'm not ready. He'll wake up. I'm ready. And he does it flawlessly.

[Assistant] That was so sick! It's nice that it's kind of the two of you are all working together and he's not really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd really hope to get drafted, make it to the MLB and then hopefully future Hall of Famer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now we've been working on keeping my hands inside and getting extension through. I have a pretty big problem of leaning back and that causes a bunch of pop ups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say I realized I was pretty good at it when I had the opportunity to play on an older, I think it was two or three years older team and that was the day my dad and I made the decision I was either gonna stop playing baseball or play on a lower level or I was gonna step up and start working hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like you got a little bit of a responsibility to pick yourself up and keep going. A lot of it is trying to build the big muscle groups like your leg and your upper body. We do a bunch of squats and that's really good for baseball players to get that leg drive through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tournament where I think I hit either six or eight home runs in five games and that was very, very special to me because they only handed out one and there was maybe twenty teams in this tournament so it was very special to me. These are some of my rings right down here and then I have a whole goblet of rings in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I won this medal when I was in North Carolina playing with top tier and this one also. We didn't win this one, but we got second. So again, two very, very special things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These other two giant trophies. This was in Kansas City and I'm pretty proud of that because that was a very hard tournament and it was a well organized one. I love this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple of my bobbleheads, don't worry. Josh Hamilton is not actually missing two arms and his bat in real life. It's just something I got when I was three and I didn't know what to do with it. I won this one last tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really good gloves. They last forever. I really like Rawlings. I think they have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A really good glove. I think that their gloves break in pretty fast and they last a long time. The way that I normally break in my gloves is I'll hit it with the hammer and you just beat it until it gets pretty loose and then you can form it and then you keep on doing that process over and then you play catch with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have other boxers that I've worked with, much older than him, and a lot of them complain, a lot of them cry. He doesn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had the enthusiasm and he also had the parental support. So I think that's all we needed to get him started. And we did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what impressed me about him was he had the right tenacity as a young kid. He was very brave. He wanted to try. He was so tiny. I really didn't quite expect that from him. I thought maybe it'd be for a day or two, but then it continued to be that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just gonna have to continue doing what we're doing. Uh, I got some big plans for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I go into the ring and I'm doing myth work with Dylan, I look for a variety of different things. I look for speed. I look for timing. I look for the ability to follow instructions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look for the ability not to give him any instruction. Can he read my movements, interpret it, move accordingly? For example, if I step in, do we step back? When you do step back, do we fire based on what is available in front of him? And those are some of the things that really set the tone of what we do inside of the ring on the miss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think that if you're, it is a boxing coach's duty or responsibility or something that they strive off of to, to encourage young athletes or any athlete at all. We may say push, but I think it's more or less along the lines of encouragement. And I want to encourage everybody that I work with, specifically Dylan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To give me his best, because sometimes if they're left alone to do just as they want, they'll do just the basics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well there are a few things about Dylan that makes me believe that he is going to be a very good boxer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First is his heart, second is his ability to show up and continually give you his entire soul, his best. He never says no, and he never complains, and he's always willing to pretty much be redirected, and it's never a problem for him to just follow what he hears. And I think that is priceless because he's cultural.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll have him deal with that height. It might be a little taller than him. So I'll have him box somebody taller from his imagination, which means his hands might be a little bit up higher. I might be doing a lot more slipping drills and countering, and that way he'll get a chance to show me what it is that I'm looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boxing takes a lot out of you, so it is very good to replenish the body in order that you could be more productive the next time you show up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not going to be able to get to this. There's not really any training tools or, you know, fanciness. We just talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once he feels it and he can see it, then, uh, he can make those adjustments on his own. And over the years I've tried to help him be able to coach himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, very good. There's nothing more to it. And then he'll hit there for a while. We'll go through probably a bucket, buck and a half. We'll move on to do our catching or whatever we're going to do that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big thing about a catcher is pitch presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We work on making sure that his body doesn't give strikes away. Making sure when the umpire's looking, all that's possible with wrist strengths. If you're an umpire and you're setting up behind him and you're getting ready to see the pitch come in, it's very important is that this part of his, his arm right here moves as little as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if his arm's not moving a lot, this part of his arm and his shoulder, then it's more deceptive for the umpire. So if he's all the way down here, he can move that ball all the way up to here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that umpire thinks that ball might have traveled 6 or 8 inches higher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most everything that he does that helps him in the last couple years has been in the weight room. For legs, arms, upper body, back, all of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being a catcher, you have to be in top physical shape from top to bottom. It works all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't what we want from him. It's continuously always been what he wanted. And one of the things that we've always done is we've never forced him to practice, ever. Now we might force him to do chores around the house and things he doesn't want to do, but when it comes to baseball, we wouldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a competitive player, and when I say competitive, it goes to his grades, to ping pong, to tie a shoe faster than the guy next to him. It's just whatever he can do, he loves that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oklahoma's got a chance to watch him play in a few tournaments. He had a really good turnout in Atlanta and by the fourth or fifth game, we were walking back and our coach said, hey, just talk to the coaches at Oklahoma and they want you to call them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was kind of an all-around good thing for our family and we just decided, why wait? Instead of waiting a couple years, we knew that that was where we wanted to be and it made no difference. We committed to them as much as they committed to us. I now have seven touchdowns in three games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got option A, B, or C, where you're expecting them to dribble or shoot, and then he'll do an option F.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good form. He had his head down, knee over the ball, had a little lean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played high school soccer and then after that I played adult leagues and Phoenix was always around that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, any other sport is just going to make a more well-rounded athlete, a more well-rounded person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been snowboarding with Phineas since he was 15 months old, and we took it outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we would ride hand in hand. That's why he rides goofy and I ride regular now because we would ride hand in hand. Now he's seven and I can't keep up with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say our training is less structured and more relaxed. We just do what he really wants to do. If that means he's two runs and done, we're two runs and done. I don't like to force him to do anything. The last thing I want to do is to burn him out at such a young age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why this DIY approach definitely works because I just pull out the camera and we film and then we review the film. Pretty DIY.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll just sit there for hours sometimes watching videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he picks out different things that he wants to try. I'm like, alright, let's go learn how to do this cool trick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that I'm really proud of him for is not necessarily winning the events. It's the fact that he's so stoked for his buddies to also share the podium with him. A lot of people call him the hugger because he hugs everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Origin Snow is a local kids-only snowboard company based out of Denver. The boards are made specifically for kids. The owner, Matt, saw a need for kid-friendly boards instead of just small adult boards and said, hey, you know what? I'm going to make Finneas' own board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And once I realized that he enjoyed it almost as much, if not more so than I did, I thought this is the best life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of parents want their kids to be the best at what they can be. And that's all I want is for him to have fun, to be the best he can be. And if that means he wants to compete and be a contest kid, then we're gonna enter a contest and let him, let him go have fun with his friends. If he wants to just free ride and film, let's just free ride and film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really excited to see how far he goes in this journey, in his snowboarding journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we could snowboard every day together, we would. He does have school. He does have other activities and other friends to play with and stuff. But if I could choose, I would just snowboard with him every day. Because I see something in his eyes and I see something in his smile when we go snowboarding together. And I wouldn't trade that for anything else in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not many kids that you see in 8th grade that are already 6 foot 3, you know, 170, 180 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He caught that. I think the biggest thing this year that I see with him is he's trying to lead the other kids on the team. Certainly he's got some physical gifts that are a little bit different right now at his age. Say go! Get up and come forward, forward, forward! Forward! And go! Get up and go, get up and go, get up and go. Make a move! There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's worked really hard at it and I think a lot of that helps our football team. There you go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got into football when he was 11. That's when we first put him into real contact sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His current routine in the mornings would be uhm, 100 push-ups, he does 100 sit-ups, he does 100 squats, and about 80 power jumps, and that's Monday through Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] TJ is able to balance things because he has a great support cast. If I'm not able to get to him, I have my fiance, Natasha, here. If Natasha's busy, we have grandparents. We have just a whole structure around TJ. I think the biggest thing that we push for TJ is education. Regardless of anything in sports, do your education first. He's an honor roll student, student of the month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really an awe moment because I know where we came from just in a matter of two years, you know, in a matter of two years, we, you know, struggled, we struggled at times and now we're, we're,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm dominating. I keep saying that, but it is the truth. It is definitely the truth with TJ. He's doing his thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She fits in a lot. When there's breakaways, she always steals a ball from the boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are here at Copper Basin K.A. Baseball Field. We did a little bit of practice with Travis. What I tell him is to practice every day, at least pick up a ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play Madden's Money because I love football and that is the game that makes me feel the closest to it.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do gg2 every single day. I really like the environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These ones right here, these are all belts. For only expert kids, these are like the highest level you can go for Naga. I won 15 or 14 right here. This one, I won against a kid that was like 120 pounds and I was like 59 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this one is an American National 2017 IBJJF. I won three of these. This is like the second highest level tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people said I was a lot stronger ever since I came here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Nogi is, you don't have grips. It's like this right now. It's like a whole different thing in Nogi. In Gi, we have lapels and we have like a whole suit. I like Gi more because there's like more like things that you can do. There's more like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gripping, like taking them down, there's like more sweeps on bottom that you can take them up and put them down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to play Fortnite, watch videos on YouTube. I like to watch my highlights on Instagram. Those are like my main things that I do at home. When I do jiu-jitsu, I think about jiu-jitsu. When I do school, I think about school. That's what like helps me to do both and balance myself with jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brother made this poster, so we have all of your colleges, and then we have like all of like


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Kobe Bryant, because of his Mamba mentality, and I've been reading his book. And then Kyrie Irving, because of his crazy handle. To go to the NBA, you have to play like a boy, and that's what I play. I'm different. You have to be different to be in the NBA. Ooh, swoosh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to do the same thing over and over. I have to perfect it. Every move comes with every single detail and I have to do that detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throw your legs all the way back. Like if you could catch his legs at all, you can try to catch his leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Typical workout, we normally warm up, get his feet activated real quick, get his blood flowing, and then we straight to the workout, vigorous training, hip movements, all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most kids don't get this type of training. So, it's high school kids that's in college that don't even get this type of training. So, with him getting it at this young age, it's better off getting him more ready for high school, getting him more ready for college, even for junior high. So, by the time he gets to junior high, it'll be a lot easier for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Ryan McConnell. I'm the head varsity voice coach here at Oslo High School. I met Phoenix about a month ago in tryouts, uhm, for the voice soccer team. And, uh, he ended up making my varsity team this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he knows that he's gonna benefit from this experience as well. Anytime you play...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a 14 year old against 16, 17, 18 year olds, you're going to make yourself better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew right away that his technical level was very, very high. His feet were really good. He could move the ball. He was smart. His soccer IQ was really, really high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's one of those kids that's very smart. So he knows when to hang on the ball, when to get rid of the ball. And he plays simple. That's probably the biggest thing I saw him do was the fact he didn't try to dribble too much. He plays one and two touch. He makes the game very simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's constantly about the little things, right? It's not hold on the ball too long. Not make, you know, we don't need to take six touches. We need to take two. And a lot of you guys are starting to, to figure out the system that we're going to try to play. Okay. And like I said, it takes time. It's not going to be done in a week or two. All right, let's go bring in a good work today. Good session. Just keep working hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, the sky's the limit for him. I think, I think he can play college soccer, division one level and, and, you know, possibly play pro. I mean, you know, people don't understand how difficult it is. It's, it's not easy. I mean, less than 1% of high school kids get a scholarship out of high school to play any kind of sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been doing this a long time. I can tell whether the kids are gonna go somewhere with this and he's gonna go somewhere with this. For sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to find good kids nowadays, and he's a good one. So I'm gonna hang on to him for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything from running, jumping, a lot of those base movements come from a strong squat. That eccentric portion of the squat is important to being able to load the muscular system, hold that load, and then rebound it for something strong on the other end as far as full

[Assistant] Explosion repeatedly on a track for 100 meters or as she does her long jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, Julian's hustle's second to none. She's always been on that level of just getting what she wants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What motivates Julien to keep pushing herself is just more. She always wants more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Julian and Austin kind of came up and they had this huge following, we all mutually thought it was a great idea to start something that kind of stamped the brand of what they were pushing as a whole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a really good professional relationship when it comes to work. We don't slack off because it's brotherly, sisterly love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She motivates me every day. The amount of content that she puts out, her drive, she's always working, she's always hustling, always grinding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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

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

[Assistant] My brother made this poster, so we have all of your colleges, and then we have like all of like

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Kobe Bryant, because of his Mamba mentality, and I've been reading his book. And then Kyrie Irving, because of his crazy handle. To go to the NBA, you have to play like a boy, and that's what I play. I'm different. You have to be different to be in the NBA. Ooh, swish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to do the same thing over and over. I have to perfect it. Every move comes with every single detail and I have to do that detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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

[Assistant] I know they're men, but they my babies and everybody believe that. Travada, last one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's thinking about stuff as if he was a college player or a bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Skill set wise, he's elite. Like if you put him in with a lot of pros, they can't do a lot of the things that he can do. Basketball is a sport selected out for height, so he has to do a lot of different things to close that height gap. We're working on his jump shot specifically all year. There we go. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna make and miss. Who cares? But when we miss, we're looking at how we miss. Hold it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And instead be physical and attack these gaps. He's gotten a little bit bigger and a little bit stronger and we want to get him ready to be able to play like 12 or 13 youth. So we're just working a lot of his shooting, keeping his flow as far as like him being able to do a lot of the same movement that he already does but comfortably so it's not like he's having to think about anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we want to try to mix it up. We try to limit a lot of the resistance, but no weights. He can get all of his strength literally from just various movements, especially in the sand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has to work on his recovery. He has to get his feet out the sand. He can't get as much traction to take off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's really good at this type of stuff, like athleticism stuff, he's small, so it's about building up more endurance, building up a little more strength. This stuff gives him confidence too when he goes on the court. Basketball is one of the most athletic sports, but it's a very reactive sport. He has to be able to go from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he works out, he looks so much mature and he's thinking about stuff like if he was a college player or a pro. He killed it, as always, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We always meet up at the beach all up and down this coast and then we do travel a lot together and that I think makes your bond a lot stronger and you learn to like trust each other.

[Assistant] My name is Roman Hager, I'm 15 years old, and I like the skateboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, uh, six years old when I decided to take skateboarding as like my main passion. And what drove me to it was just like the excitement that you could never get too good. No matter what, there's always something else you've never done or something else that you can do. Like there's literally no stopping. That's definitely what brings me to this sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playground basically. They have a huge indoor skate park that's very nice. It's like a training facility. There's so much that I can go from. And I warm up for like an hour and I actually started like skating as hard as I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sponsors are very important for a skateboarder at the level that I'm trying to reach because you go through stuff constantly, but thankfully I have very good people behind my back.
