[Assistant] Leg, tore my hamstring off my bone on the right leg, twice. Cracked rib, broken fingers, had surgery on this shoulder, separated this shoulder. And then neck, concussion, lower back, trauma, cumulative trauma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I prefer it. Marijuana was something that helped me as the season wore on, my body would start to break down, I was in a lot of pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't agree. It offers relief, I don't know exactly why, but it doesn't hurt as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I agree with Mike, uh, and the usage of those terms. It has been a failure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Max, uh, the hiring process within the NFL is a flawed process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And given the fact that the NFL has been around for over a hundred years, it's a billion dollar business. I find it today to be unacceptable, uh, that we're, are discussing numbers, uh, where we are today with respect to the diversity of leadership. You know, while we can enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 70% of our players participating as African Americans and yet, uh, we're talking numbers of two to three or four at any given year with respect to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, head coaches with respect to general managers and quite frankly, all levels of leadership, uh, at the C-suite and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You believe him? Oh I certainly do. I have a great deal of respect


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for Roger Goodell and where he is in terms of his efforts to, to try to level the playing field. Uh, he recognizes that we have, uh, issues with respect to hiring at the, at the team level. But I also recognize the fact that because of the structure of the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, I remember a time, and maybe many of you listeners will, when we were deeply concerned about the lack of opportunities that blacks in particular were getting in the interview process. We weren't represented enough in our opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Rooney Rule addressed that and in my opinion has been successful in at least getting us to the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The responsibility thereafter lies with those who are making the decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, everything's on the table at this particular point. I'm sadly at the point of realizing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That these issues affecting the lack of diversity in leadership may not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be, uh, resolvable, if you will, by the league itself. Uh, there may need to be some sort of external pressure put on, uh, to really resolve these issues to the level that we feel like is necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, involvement by sponsorship, more pressure by sponsors, those sort of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the things that we understand get the owner's attention. It's history. Whenever those forms of stimuli have been put into effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there has been a positive response and we may have to go down that route.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just exploring at this particular point. You know, we're not looking for these emblematic gains year after year and after each year claims some sort of success. We're really looking for proven programs that provide sustainable


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Results, uh, and when those things are in place, then I think we've got something that we think is worthwhile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we're a long ways from that. Uh, and so uh, in order to get there, we may have to create a more serious atmosphere in order to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, more intensified involvement by our players, uh, by our sponsors and others. Obviously the players are in a position to disrupt the business model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and, and they can do it immediately. We need to break through the glass ceiling that existed at the NFL and players can certainly help us get there faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well Max, I think we're really coming into a new era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that era, uh, is going to involve, uh, or really realize players as more partners in this business rather than pawns to create a product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I do envision a time when players will want to have more say with respect to who's coaching them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who's running the organizations? Uh, you know, I, I believe that they deserve that. Uh, and what form of fashion will, will have to see how it all materializes. But I do envision a bigger role by players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, uh, presentations or, you know, whatever people come up with, uh, for reasons that Eric has not been able to attain a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, the most important aspect is his ability to lead, his ability to articulate in that classroom of players, how those players respond to him, and whether or not he can respond to situational football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe strongly that Eric can do all of those things. And for that reason, he's a strong candidate and a damn good football coach and should be on the sideline next year as an NFL head coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that, uh, who certainly are worthy of providing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, not only, uh, great talent in terms of coaching and leadership ability, but can provide, uh, more appropriate press conferences as well. Does it strike you as a double standard? Well, there are double standards out there. And when we see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, coaches and other front office executives get jobs who we believe don't have the experience that, that many of our candidates have who have not put in the time, uh, who don't have the pedigree, the professional pedigree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that, uh, uh, many of our candidates have. It does leave you scratching your head about the fairness of the process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're only asking, Max, that the League live up to its equal employment opportunity policy. And that is to provide fair, open, and competitive interviews.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we're not asking for handouts. We're not asking for the lead to reach a certain number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just want to be able to feel like we've had an opportunity, we've presented our best case, and if the best man ahead of us won based on the merits, uh, then we're most likely to applaud that. Uh, but until we feel that the system is fair,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, then we, we will, uh, certainly be working to try to change it to create a more level playing field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot that's great about the National Football League. This area is not one of them. This is an area we can improve upon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we appreciate the league allowing us to seat at the table to talk about these issues, but we have a long way to go. The league, in my opinion, is not proud of their record. Uh, I know that the commissioner is not. And when you look at the fact that it's a hundred year old business worth billions of dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is something that should have been resolved in a more forceful, uh, and progressive way and, uh, and yet we're still lacking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let me just say, let me put it this way, we're moving toward a period where we're going to be talking less about social responsibility and more about social performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe people will be coming forth at the local level and asking their teams, what have you done in this area? And what are you planning to do? I believe that on a yearly basis that they're going to have to answer questions to a generation that is not afraid to ask why or why not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at some point we're going to produce through the Fritz Pollard Alliance a report card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that really addresses the hiring practices for every club. And, uh, with that, uh, you know, we'll be able to add to the conversation and add scrutiny to those teams that are performing well and those who are not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not if we're dependent on the Rooney rule, until we do more to, uh, really get a commitment from ownership.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To change the landscape. I don't care what policies that are out there. They will not work and they will not get us to levels that are acceptable in terms


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the fair competitive and open process argument that I, I stated earlier. I appreciate the running rule. I'd rather have it than not have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but let's not put the responsibility of employment gains on the Rooney Rule. It's the people that are making the decisions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Derek Jeter made it through his career with the Yankees as being a guy, his reputation was he didn't say a lot and he protected his image that way.

[Assistant] Jordan McNair's death was tragic, but in the world of NCAA football, it was nothing new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the year 2000, 30 players have died as a result of college football workouts. 30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's nearly two dead players every year.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, money by science, science by his life. We have a track record, not just my foundation, but the National Foundation has a major track record of success. The expediting of drugs from one level to another to the patient ultimately. And that's the greatest success story that we can tell.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To your mind, everything was played up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be somewhat concerned that if there's a feeling among ballplayers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That this is a place you could double-cross. It's gonna make it real hard for you to, to build a winner here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, immediately I called my wife, uhm, you know, I said, Penn State, they might be interested in, in me as a head coach. And then, uh, I went and talked to Bill, uh, pretty much right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going through a tough time right now, but that's a fantastic college football program in the history of college football. It's one of the top ten jobs of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he said, you know, if I was you, I'd take a look at that. We don't want to lose you, but, you know, I'd take a look at it. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between talking to Colleen and talking to Bill, I, you know, I pursued it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can tell you that right when they were announced, you know, I definitely had that feeling of, boy, what did I get myself into here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that there was a possibility that you may not be able to field a football team in the fall, that was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To come back and have a normal life when you've been leading raids and commanding, you know, men and every day on some kind of a mission to then be sleeping in and hanging out in San Diego.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as you drove to Starbucks, you'd be assessing danger on the highway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traditionally in sports there is a theory that you don't

[Assistant] Have sex leading up to a contest. Football, basketball, baseball, save your energy. You buy into that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you gonna do when you go into camp? And, and, you know, here you are preparing for this big fight. No boyfriend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who needs sleep, you know? Who needs it? You drive yourself hard. Yeaah. If you call it that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's, it's probably not wise at times. Probably not normal. But it's, uh, it's my rhythm. It's the beat that I go to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can think of a lot of people who work. Okay, at times I guess I'm a little confrontational. Fierce! Fierce. I hope so. Ego maniacal. Ego maniacal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a huge ego. Who said that? I mean, tell me who said that. I'm not telling you who all these attributed to. You know what? Do I want to win? Do I want to be the best? Hell yeaah! You know? That's ego, that's ego.

[Assistant] The AT&T Center is the first venue to have 5G, 5G+, and Wi-Fi 6, delivering fast, reliable, and secure network connectivity. Thinking about it from a business perspective, you really want the fan experience to be frictionless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At its heart, sports is the emotional connection we have with the struggles of competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The business of sports is really about driving that personal, emotional, social connection.

[Assistant] In fact, I was her inspiration to start tumbling and doing gymnastics. And then on the phone call, she goes, oh, by the way, I have no legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care what color you are, what country you come from, or what language you speak. We're all human beings. And for some reason, fighting isn't our DNA, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard for people to really wrap their brains around how big this business can really be. But I get it. I know what this thing is capable of and I always have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll come in here in the morning, I work out, shower, and then start my day.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, in some states. In some states. Yeah, it was illegal in some states.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the big difference in what makes us, I wouldn't say better, but easier to manage than those things, there's one guy that makes all the decisions, and that's me. I make all the decisions, you know. When I want to do something, we're doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of the things I'm the most proud of out of my whole 20-year career with the UFC is that we didn't lay off any of our employees and we honored all our fighter contracts and, you know, everybody made a living and got paid through COVID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the pandemic, obviously, we gained a lot of fans because we were the only thing on TV. People tuned in, people watched. We gained a lot of fans because there was nothing to gamble on. So sports better started betting on UFC. And if you're going to watch UFC, you're going to end up loving it. There's no way that it isn't exciting to you and not fun to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think you want to be on ESPN and you think that's where you need to be if you're a sport, you don't really realize the impact until you get on ESPN. Yeaah. The impact has been massive. Tell me about that. Like, in what way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turn your TV on at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, 3 o'clock in the morning, 6 a.m. That bug is up there that says Conor McGregor versus Poirier. Every single week, that's up there. And these fighters' names start to drill into people's heads. You do that over a seven year period. It's massive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is where I spend a majority of my day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, me, one of my lawyers, and two of our matchmakers. We sit in this room most of the day, every day. These are the fights that we're building. This is all the parts of the world that the fighters are coming from and where we want to go and what we want to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weili Zhang, our Chinese world champion, when she became a champion, she ignited China. When you have somebody who looks like you, talks like you, and comes from where you come from, and they're looked at as the baddest human being on planet Earth,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You rally behind these people and it becomes big. And then eventually once you do this, you know, in different parts of the world, you've got a real global sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't start making money until like six or seven, right? Ever since the day we bought the company, fight or pay has gone like this. And it's gone up even more in the last five years. And it's gonna go up even more in the next five years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We built an industry from nothing where if you followed the lines of how many people have benefited and made money from this company and we changed the pay structure so that everybody makes money. Not just the top guys. In boxing, the top guys make millions and everybody else starves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody makes money here. Everybody makes a good living. And there's enough money to reinvest back into the sport. Grow the sport and grow the brand. We're growing a real business. We're heading into this country where everybody gets a trophy and everybody should get this and everybody should get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I leave, when I leave maybe it'll turn, this place will be left to the hyenas and then come in and rip this thing apart, but as long as I'm here, yeaah, it ain't gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people ask me about the upside for this thing, I'm always like, how many people are there on earth? 7 billion. So my long term goal is to put on fights that are doing 5 million, 10 million, 15 million pay per view buys. And this thing is truly the first real big global sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we have no seasons. We go 365, 52 weeks a year we're going. We got through this COVID thing, this company from all of my employees, my executive team, and to the core unit over an endeavor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're like this right now. We're as tight as tight can be. We're all on the same mission. We're all on the same page. And, uh, we're a very scary group of people right now. We're gonna crush this thing. Shy of a meteor hitting the earth. I think we can get through anything.

[Assistant] Would be customers for electric cars, and of course, finicky fans. And some of them are quite happy to keep watching faster, louder cars speed through the world's greatest cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monaco's a tiny country, the world's second smallest in fact, trailing only the Vatican. It's tucked along the Riviera between France and Italy. And when you think of Monaco, the first things that come to mind are probably James Bond movies, or the fast, beautiful car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its status as one of the world's premier motor racing stages came after World War II when Formula One races began emerging through Europe. The sport quickly attracted both drivers willing to travel the world to race and a rabid fanbase hoping to witness the spectacle in person or on TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drive to Survive, a series that documents the drama on and especially off the track, is one of the streamers biggest hits of the past several years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a few decades ago, Alejandro Agog was a kid watching from his parents' apartment right here in Monaco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alejandro is the chairman of Formula E. Politician turned businessman, he found his way to motorsport and ultimately ran a team in 2007 in the second division of Formula One. He went on to recruit sponsors to the circuit. And there, he saw an opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Formula E is trying to ride and accelerate a movement towards sustainability that has urgently risen in the past several years, driven by young activists like Greta Thunberg, part of a generation speaking out loudly about the climate crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Julia Palay. She's the head of sustainability for Formula E. Her job? To make sure the race circuit and its teams are living up to the big promise of helping solve that global crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recently, big companies, including those associated directly with fossil fuels and their consumption, have seen the commercial value of moving toward being more sustainable. Ford has pledged to invest $30 billion in electric vehicles by 2025, having just spent $11 billion this past September on electric trucks and battery plants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's especially challenging when at least part of Formula E's success relies on the investment of the major car companies. The relationships there have been important, but thorny at times. The car companies very much have a vested interest in using the technologies of Formula E and its teams are collectively developing their cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Javier Pinoch. He's the technical director for FIA, the governing body that sits across both Formula One and Formula E.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keeping the manufacturers engaged via teams has proven elusive. Both BMW and Audi earlier this year said they wouldn't field teams in the upcoming season, claiming they have what they need, for now, from a technical perspective, to help with their EV push. Alejandro? He's unfazed. He said it was a natural circle of life he'd seen before in motorsports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For other carmakers, Formula E continues to be a valuable lab, especially as EVs seek to make the jump from selling to affluent customers in the West to more emerging markets. The latter is where Mahindra Group is focused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a veteran of that Indian conglomerate and deeply tied to sports in general, and motor sports in particular. When the opportunity to run the Formula E team came up at a dinner almost a decade ago, he volunteered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mahindra has a different market, in scale and potentially in terms of difficulty. India's power grid is notoriously underdeveloped and unreliable. And the vehicle fleets aren't just mid-sized sedans and SUVs in many parts of that country, but small vehicles called tuk-tuks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While they may have a huge slate of entities in its roster, both Mahindra and Formula E recognize the power of sport in cultures across the world and its ability to influence change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've seen this, as you say, from different perspectives, both at Michelin and now being part of the Formula E team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it about sports and sport that influences us, do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as a recovering politician, Alejandro also sees Formula E as an engine for political and social change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Monaco Yacht Show is set to kick off, and one evening, Alejandro and his team took over the Monaco Yacht Club's deck to unveil an electric speedboat that will race around that harbor and several other famous waterfronts starting in 2023.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the meantime, there's the matter of the upcoming season of Formula E. Alejandro will spend a lot of time thinking about sponsors and teams, and across those teams, they'll be thinking about the next generation of technology in their cars, known as Gen 3. There's a lot of excitement around what that could mean on the course and back in our garages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lighter car with one less battery means the car overall will have a smaller carbon footprint. The battery is also expected to have a faster charge time. That means it won't require a battery swap mid-race. It also means all of us could spend less time charging EVs and more time on the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then of course came the big existential questions around the future of cars, race cars, and naturally, Formula 1 and Formula E.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alejandro's vision is crystal clear. Someday, they will be one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For now, the circuits exist in something like parallel, with the much younger Formula E gaining some ground if only because it's in tune with the broader global move to sustainability and the stated goal of most major automakers to ditch internal combustion engines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A better environment and a place that is stronger than it's ever been before. To make sure that these women can play, be celebrated, and feel safe. And, and that's not an unacceptable thing to ask for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And candidly, I don't follow sports, but I have to tell you, I know everything about Angel City because I follow Sophia Bush. And what's really incredible about our ownership group, when you think about the power of Angel City, is that each one of them has their own audience. And each one of them are sharing things about us and aligning with us on things that they're passionate about.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We saw the sales spike, you know, almost right away. Not just that people were finding out about Peloton and interested in the bike or the tread, but that they had no choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many no's did you get before you, before you gave it a yes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have a product that's $49 a month and then you divide that by two roughly because you and your spouse or your live-in partner both ride, you're looking at $24 a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The location is the best, the instructors are the best, the community is the broadest, the software is the best, and you start to do the value calculation in your mind, and I think more and more people are piecing that together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Folks at Peloton, I mean, people were freaked out. People were nervous. They were scared. They didn't know whether their job was going to be there tomorrow. We really wanted to be there for them with not just content, because you could have taken a class from last year, but something authentic took place when we didn't realize from home, because it's, hey, I'm here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's an interesting, uh, survey that we saw that 59% of Americans said they're not going back to the gym after COVID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't think that represents a big opportunity for Peloton to continue selling bikes and threads, you're crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a news journalist who was saying pelotons, you know, had its day, sell pelotons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and of course he's wrong. We have such a fire in our belly, the same fire that when people didn't believe in us eight years ago, it feels like there's still so many non-believers of Peloton and where we're going. Every other person you talk to will say, what happens to Peloton after COVID? People think that it's dark, dark clouds on the horizon for Peloton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That pessimism and disbelief in us fuels our, you know, fuels our fire. And there's still so many naysayers that we're excited to prove wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can say as an entrepreneur in the space, I do have some anger issues that I didn't see that coming and that I didn't get ahead of it. And it's our job to pay attention to phenomenons and see, you know, can we improve on it in some ways for our


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had to bear the scrutiny of these two professionals, Tom Staggs and Kevin Mayer, and we could get their expertise to help us steer through what is a very ambitious plan of growth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our job is to create content in Beachbody that is every bit as interesting and could have as many twists and turns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Character development as the best show on Netflix. And that's what we aspire to be. That an entertaining half hour, that's not just about how good the workout was, but how good I got to know the trainer and the cast behind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like this perfect convergence, uh, that came together that just made it an easy decision. Far better for us than just going public through an IPO.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My problem with competition is not the fact that I've got more people in connected fitness and digital fitness content. It's that there is so much good entertainment available that there is every reason not to work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new era of technology with the Metaverse AR VR is really just the latest chapter in an effort the NBA has been making for years, which is how to connect the game with fans, uh, and more fans than can fit in the arena.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The actual capture technology of the cameras has improved, but I think also it's the experiences around where you find those games. So, for example, this last season, in addition to being able to go into Horizon Worlds to actually see a game in VR,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could experience that we built called NBA Lane, which celebrated our 75th anniversary. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of just being able to watch the game, you could go into this virtual amusement park and actually yourself participate in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slam dunk competitions, firing t-shirt cannons, and walking around in VR with your friend, uh, or other NBA fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think what it really comes down to is the emotional attachment that fans have to the games, to particular moments in the games. And so to give fans the opportunity to have a sense of ownership of certain moments in the games is, is an incredible connection directly to the fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Innovation has to have a lean forward, bold, testing, take that first step mentality to it. It's a build it, they will come kind of attitude, but I think it's most important for us to continue to make sure that fans can connect to the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Forest Green Rovers, UN certified as carbon neutral and described by FIFA as the world's greenest football club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks in large part to their owner, these minnows of the English game are proving to have an outsized influence. The season just passed saw the team play in the fourth division,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's about 70 teams below the likes of Giants, Manchester City and Liverpool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the team are on track for promotion to League 1, something never achieved in the club's 133 year history. And it could have an even greater impact thanks to the club's leadership in fighting the climate crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based in the west of the country, Forest Green Rovers has become something of a passion project for the man often described as a green energy industrialist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vince is an outlier when it comes to business leaders, let alone the owner of a sports team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dropping out of school, he joined a new age traveller community, where he tinkered with trucks to get by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1985, he was caught up in the Battle of the Beanfield, an assault by British police on travellers heading towards Stonehenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the early 90s, he'd built a small windmill on his van. Connected it to power lights and a water pump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And found himself on a hill above Nailsworth, the home of Forest Green Rovers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vince started a wind energy business called Ecotricity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its success turned him into a multi-millionaire and was instrumental in establishing renewable power in the UK's energy mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Vince was becoming conscious that creating a more sustainable UK would require more holistic change in our daily lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He went about building the UK's first electric vehicle charging network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he helped build an electric sports car, the Nemesis. Since then, he started a vegan food company,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even produces diamonds made with carbon captured from the atmosphere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was food that started the changes at Forest Green Rovers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To earn the title of the world's greenest football club, FGR have done much more than just change the menu. The stadium is solely powered by green energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pitch itself is organic, free from pesticides and weed killer, fed by seaweed and captured rainwater. It's also cut with a solar-powered mo-bot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For electric car drivers, they can charge up during the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The players and staff can eat what they want, but when at work, training or match day, there's only vegan food served.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A large number of high-profile athletes extol the benefits of going vegan from sports as diverse as tennis, basketball, ultra-marathon racing, and even bodybuilding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some at Forest Green are convinced their vegan-only food rule might be contributing to their recent success. The team hasn't dropped out of the top three places all season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So does playing for the world's greenest club change anything for a player?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's perhaps most remarkable is how far the forest green ethos reaches, far beyond the few thousand people of local village Nailsworth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True to form, the greenest club in the world arrives on an electric bus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dale is in relaxed mood. Happy to see a vegan pie on another club's menu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A goalless draw is enough to send the team up a division, the highest they've ever climbed in their 133 year history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before securing promotion, Forrest Green estimated they had over 100 international fan groups. But it's not just down to what the players have achieved on the pitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That reach doesn't just elevate the green message, it's good for business too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With promotion to the third tier of English football secured, Forest Green's journey has entered a new phase. The club is soon to start building a larger stadium, the world's first made all from timber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eco Park even includes a green tech hub for local business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever project Dale Vince pursues, there's usually an element of activism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially when it comes to tackling the climate crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in March, campaigners interrupted Premier League games in the Just Stop Oil protests. It turns out Vince had accidentally funded it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's direct action that sets Vince and Forest Green Rovers apart. Removing meat and single-use plastics from sale. Using renewable energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other sports teams, even some of the biggest, have been recognised for their work on reducing their environmental impact. But like plenty of businesses nowadays, many are accused of trying to assuage any guilt forming in more eco-conscious fans, and simply not doing enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, Vince has found sport to be a powerful element of communication in challenging the status quo of the climate challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his own football team, he doesn't just reach his direct community, but all those that come into contact with it, whether at home or abroad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From supporting the conservation of the ocean to flying the Palestinian flag on match day, Forest Green Rovers has an identity like no other club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that's hard to come by in the world of modern day sport. And while FGR might be unique, other clubs are taking note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daily Fantasy Sports plays by its own ruleset, you have to create your own lineup, there's a salary cap, you enter into these tournaments, you pay your entry fee, and then you win a prize depending on how you perform under the rules of that contest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that money fueled a land grab for customers, which generated a lot of advertising. That advertising caught the attention of regulators who wanted to understand better what our product was. Probably the most high profile was the New York Attorney General.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was certainly a happy day in the office as we all kind of frantically looked at our laptops and scanned through the decision together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were the first sports book in the U.S. to report that we were profitable in the second quarter of this year and that we expect to be profitable for the full year in 2023.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here at DC United in my hometown, we have a retail sports book. We have retail sports books also at the Footprint Arena in Phoenix, the home of the Suns. We will have one, uh, coming soon in the United Center, home of the Blackhawks and the Bulls in Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's an intuitive sense if there are more things to bet on that creates more of an opportunity for someone who has a compulsive behavior issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should always be a part of your playbook. Responsible gaming is something we wake up every day thinking about as a top priority of our business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do obviously have a lot of information about what users do on our platform. So what bets they make, what sports they're interested in. We use that information to help run our business better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So every Saturday morning we come to the gym and we start about 8.39 and then we run for about an hour, hour and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's very important for them to get the mental aspect of the game. Not only like learning the game by watching the film, but also being mentally tough. Game speed. Push, push, push, cross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So shooting with the big folks is this summer because we see a lot of the girls in the circuits and club teams don't really have the proper form, so we try to focus on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five on each side. Person who makes the most doesn't have to run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think basketball in general has so many life skills that you can apply to your school, your everyday life, work, career path. And for me, I think they're developing a lot of great characteristics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like for them to earn an athletic scholarship, go play ball, go to college, get an education, graduate, and then if they still want to pursue basketball at that point, I'm all for it. Or if they have a desire to be a teacher, a doctor, or start their own business, I'm all for that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was out there giving waters and having cookouts for the protesters. Uh, there was a lot of energy and I'm like, man, we got to make sure that all these people vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people are asking me, are you excited about this upcoming season? And I was like I hadn't even been thinking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, this is the, welcome to the new normal, right? Like this is the office, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My home has become the studio. That means like for video. This is where I film TMZ 4Set every day, right here in our studio. So it's kind of crazy to think about. My podcast is called Remotely Renee because I had to figure out how to do everything remotely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the Atlanta dream, for myself, you know, we, we saw where we wanted to take a stand and just, and we did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did our homework and we, we used our platforms and those are the same platforms that a lot of people, you know, they, they try to overlook, but we all band together and we use our platforms for something that we believe in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of ones. There you go. Good rhythm. Now we got it. Feel it. Feel it. Feel it. Two. There we go. There we go. Rhythm and bass. Rhythm and bass. Three. Good bass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her determination, her competitiveness comes in and she wants to win, you know, she wants to be number one and she does what it takes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, she already trains as a 10 year old, 34 hours a week. So, you know, she does two days, four days a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] we're fortunate enough to that she can kind of look


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do have several elites that she can see what it takes to get there and the skills that she'll have to learn in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every other day we'll alternate, we do upper body and then the next day we'll do lower body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do thing upper body. We call it physical abilities pretty much that includes the rope, you know, leg lifts, handstand hold presses. Um, and it's just pretty much the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main muscles that you use day in and day out in the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's a mentally strong kid. She wants to go out there. She wants to win. She wants to perform. Anyone that's talented and wants to work hard is fun to coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Milwaukee Bucks have reportedly decided to boycott Game 5 against the Orlando Magic in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being in the One Child was, it wasn't as bad as people think. I mean, I was the main center of attention, so I liked it. Surprisingly growing up, my main sport was basketball. I was actually really into football. Did baseball, little league soccer for a little bit, and started playing basketball around like eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it. The stuff he has me do is pretty crazy, but I feel like I'm getting better and he makes it enjoyable, so I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I'm in the game, like I feel all the stuff I do at Homeland Translates. Staying lower, you know, getting my shot off, sprinting to spots, so I think I work for a lot of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Owen trains a lot of pros, a lot of good pros like Shay, so it's good to work with a pro trainer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I moved to LA. It just seemed like a better situation than it was in Oakland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being in LA is amazing, especially during the summer. I feel like all pros come down to LA. It's no other place to be really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I met Kyrie like towards the end of my freshman year at Open Run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cookin' me. He didn't score me, but he was like cookin' me with his moves, getting past me and stuff. They were like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I got in the game, I was like, not really nervous, but like, this is crazy. Like, I'm really playing with Kyrie. I think he passed me the ball, I went up, I got fouled, and like, shot free throws on my first points, and then like, second half, I was like, really turned it up, had like a dunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So everybody was like, kiting me up in the crowds and like, my friends were like, texting me and stuff. It was an amazing experience. Doing stuff like the Drew League and training with pros definitely helps, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Makes me think I'm a step closer. Training with pros, seeing how hard they go definitely motivates me to go like ten times harder, knowing that they're in the league and that's where I'm gonna go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My end goal isn't to be the number one, like, player. Like my end goal is NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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

[Assistant] She does have the strength, the flexibility, and the mental capacity, so I would say she's going to go very, very far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To running one of the fastest growing sports agencies in the world, representing some of the world's most famous athletes with an unapologetic swagger and purpose. He's inspired devotion from his clients and disdain and dismissal from entrenched interests, competitors and institutions alike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While agents are usually the guy behind the guy, or woman, we live in a different world when it comes to star players and their reps. And Rich Paul is a big reason why. He's put the business out front, powerfully making the case that different voices need to be at the negotiating table, not just on the court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I spoke with Rich to find out what the rest of us can learn from a career spent relentlessly being true to yourself and where you came from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Rich, first of all, it's really nice to see you. I wish we were together and let's talk about where you came from. What are the reflections you have as you think about your own origin story and how it plays now and how you think about it in 2021?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rich learned from a young age how to sell, and early on he identified vintage sports jerseys as a niche.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While his personal style, he says, aspired more toward Ralph Lauren, he also liked a good jersey and saw lots of peers did too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day in 2002, a 21-year-old rich threw on a Warren Moon jersey, it matched his sneakers, and headed to the Akron Airport for a flight to Atlanta. Waiting for the same flight, an already well-known high school basketball phenom named LeBron James. The once and future king complimented the jersey and asked him where he got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rich quickly became a trusted friend and advisor, part of a small and influential inner circle. He joined LeBron, Randy Mims, and Maverick Carter, two longtime friends of LeBron, also from Akron, to create LRMR marketing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rich curated LeBron's appearances in Image and explored acting, music, and producing before settling on becoming an agent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ultimately joined CAA to work under LeBron's agent, Leon Rose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2012, Rich left CAA to start his own agency, Clutch Sports. Last year, it ranked 7th in the value of contracts negotiated at $1.7 billion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that becomes clear about your success is the relationship that you have with your clients. And I want to show you something that one of your earliest clients, Tristan Thompson, said about you and get you to react to it on the other side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to make sure we talk about that because I think that's a really important thing and Tristan mentioned it to me and I've heard you talk about it before which is this whole notion of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You embrace having these tough conversations with these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have been deified in many ways and yet...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of what you do is speak truth to them. How are you able to do that, do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of Rich's confidence comes from that tight circle he's a part of, a group that's become famous enough to inspire their own documentary called More Than an Athlete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was through making that that they met the legendary Jimmy Iovine, the multi-hyphenate impresario who produced some of the biggest records of all time, created Interscope Records, invented Beats by Dre with Dr. Dre, and went on to run Apple Music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I want to show you one more thing that he said because it builds on exactly what you're talking about if we can look at one more clip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even as institutions and individuals undertake a long overdue reckoning around race, inequality, and systemic injustice, there's still a ways to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2019, the NCAA made a new rule requiring agents representing student athletes to have a bachelor's degree themselves, which many saw as directed right at Rich, to the point where LeBron and others derisively called it the, quote, Rich Paul rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rich wrote a stinging rebuke in the Athletic explaining how this move would discourage people from poor backgrounds, often people of color, from entering the industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six hours after the article was published, the NCAA backed down. It was a striking example of what's coming at him almost every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a lot of people who have come at you hard, I mean, and have tried to discourage you, and obviously in some ways it's out of their own self-interest, but I can't imagine that that feels good or as easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as we wrap up, sort of on that point, I did want to ask you, you know, when it comes to sports, it does feel like we have seen something meaningful shift over the past few years, certainly over the last year. And one of those shifts has been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's pulling the levers of power in many ways? You know, we seem to be moving away from a point, especially in the NBA, where white general managers sort of have the final say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Players who are empowered in many different ways. We are starting to see ownership changes and owners think about their teams differently, their players differently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you agree with that? Is that something that you have seen? Because you are in those corridors of power in many ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's lost one football game in his career in high school. To do that at such a high level has been pretty remarkable to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been working with Elijah since the sixth grade. It's been quite a journey. It's been awesome to see his growth and his ability to lead a team and to do the things he does at modern day. It's been pretty remarkable to watch how he competes, his leadership, and then how he approaches his workouts out here. He's very intentional with his work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wants to be great at everything he does and he's very competitive but he also has a great energy about him of just staying calm and having fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do not get stronger that moment that you're lifting the barbell. You get stronger as your body is making repairs, making recovery. Recovery is when and how you get fitter, faster, stronger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many of these things end up not holding up. Every time you're chasing the latest, greatest newest tool, you're probably chasing a mirage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hundreds, probably close to a thousand scientific research articles while I was working on the blog looking at all sorts of these things and I can just say having done that and having interviewed hundreds of researchers that there's not a lot of evidence that this stuff does much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want this stuff to work. I'll tell you what, you know, I was willing to try anything while I was working on this book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost all of these major recovery techniques that are being marketed now for recovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what I found is that most of them, if they made a difference, the difference was very marginal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's really good evidence for some things that really do help recovery. It's sleep. It's stress reduction. These are things that, you know, are very hard to commercialize, very hard to monetize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we're seeing now though is sports leagues, you know, everyone wants to keep up with everyone else. And when you see your competition using this new device, you think, well, we have to do that too, because what if it works? And so it's not even about the science necessarily. It's about the culture of this is what everyone's doing now. So we'd better be doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's difficult particularly if you're looking at elite athletes. I mean, you tell me how you're going to do a study where you take elite athletes and you ask them to change something so that you can study it. They're not going to do that. Most of these studies are very small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No good, but I think that it's something that we can in some cases really, you know, harness for good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say the vast majority of these products that target recovery are really just giving athletes something to do while they wait for their bodies to recover on their own naturally. You know that happens whether you use these devices or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2007, I was in a motorcycle accident. As a chiropractor, I knew the things that I needed and most of them were in my office, in my practice. And I can't bundle them up and take them with me. So I just went to my garage and I grabbed some tools and brought them in and I started messing around with them and I just made something. And I started using it on myself and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I tell people that it worked, meaning the pain stayed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For minutes, 20 minutes at a time. As long as I had it on my body, I could tolerate the pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This stuff's been around since the 40s and 50s. I mean, they used to take a, like a blender sort of design that had an up and down motion to it, and the doctors would use that on patients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I would actually treat athletes, celebrities, and they would take my product when I wasn't there and they would take it out on the gym floor. I'd get so mad at them. And I asked one of them,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing? And he said, oh dude, this makes my, I don't get sore. And so as he's telling me this, I'm thinking, holy crap, I didn't even realize that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Theragun got out way before we could do studies. That was a tough thing for me because I was trying to hold it back waiting to get some validation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's set for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It's not that long. Are you gonna try this?

[Assistant] South Carolina, Alabama, and every weekend we travel and play the top clubs in the southeast of the United States. They're currently ranked number one in the country. It's a very special team. We have a lot of special individual players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technically she's very, very good. She reads the game well. She plays striker forward position. So she has the nose for the goal too, so she's always almost in the right spot. That's why she has scored so many goals this season.

[Assistant] There was a moment when Cade was about three years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Cade comes running up the stairs, goes, Mom, Dad, look, I can throw a spiral. And then he bullets this ball across the living room and we both look at each other like, is that like a normal thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't until later that night that I got the text messages. I was like, by the way, just so you know, like, you just broke a record. Wait, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started playing football when I was six years old. In True Bella style, I mean she just fit right in. As far as speed training goes, that's like a huge part of it. We spend so much time learning how to run correctly, it's crazy. There's been a lot of times where I'll do like 10, 10 yard sprints and you'll have two plates on your sled, like running back and forth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being the only girl first, it was very different because a lot of my teammates were just getting used to it. But it didn't take long for them to stop seeing me as, oh we have a girl on our team and rather just like we have another teammate, another person who wants to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being on a football field very much felt like home. I liked being there and just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like 15 when I started playing varsity football up against linebackers who are like 220, 62 and they're like 18 years old, right? But I was so excited to play because it was like varsity football was the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I literally can vividly remember like how my face like lit up and my eyes were like this wide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I felt like finally everything that I've been doing since I was a kid, like, it was finally worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I did it one time, like I could do it again. And that whole one was just like, pure like, I did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't until later that night that I got the text messages, I was like, by the way, just so you know, like, you just broke a record, like, you just created yourself a record, and I was like, wait, what? Like that was part of it? Like the add-on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After like the two touchdowns, my now like agent, Michael, he reached out to me and he was just like, Hey, congratulations on your two touchdowns. Have you ever considered anything in the annual space? What are things that you think are important? And I was like, I want to stress the importance of mental health. So when Keywise reached out and told me that their mission was, was mental health and they said that they wanted to partner, I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, like, where's the contract? I'll sign it. I'm so happy that the NIDL deal is in the mental health space. Like, I'm so glad that that's the headline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And encourage people to follow their dreams. To finally have the platform to really do that and actually like succeed on this goal, like my life goal at 17 years old, that's incredible. I couldn't ask for anything more. But it's encouraging girls to be like, look, she played football and she's successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it takes her somewhere, it's taking her places, like it's opening doors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know what flag football is going to be in the Olympics in 2028? That's the next goal. I want to go to the Olympics. Like let's put you, the US, like let's go represent them as girls in football. Cause this is a movement we've started now. Like it's been a long time coming, but it's starting now and it's only going to progress more and more. That's going to be huge. Huge. No day's office. It's like, did you do the best that you could do today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, did you do everything that you wanted to, everything that you had the confidence to do? Like, if you have no regrets, like, congratulations, you've had one more No Days Off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then in the evenings he's got online classes with QBIQ. So it's a quarterback classroom setting where they put the quarterbacks through pre and post snap reads of the defenses. So you can get a sense for as a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my defense is showing this, here's how I need to respond and what I can anticipate. So a little bit of the classroom and then also the, um, the on the field work is kind of his typical week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's definitely something that is not expected of an 11 year old quarterback to be able to read a defense pre-snap. Last year we went to a QBIQ camp and part of that camp you have a book and flashcards and things like that where it walks you through as a quarterback kind of like how you should be approaching the position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's just quick to apply that classroom, uhm, learning to the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got into running for self-discovery and holding myself accountable. I was struggling in life and I wanted to stop making excuses and it was a two week ago. Ten minutes every day and that turned into this big run streak right now that I'm drilling on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being an immigrant, coming from West Africa, and seeing all the sacrifices that I put myself through, my family, my parents, so you want to make sure that that was worthwhile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motivation comes in different forms. Uhm, I stay motivated also knowing that running is a privilege that not everyone has. And I want to use that privilege of mine to, to do something better, to do something that's bigger than myself. So I think about people who are out there that can't walk, let alone run. That's a big motivation in itself. So to me, I'm running on their behalf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My proudest moment is running across the United States. And it was one of those things where it sounds like something that's not possible, but it is possible at the same time. Running across America makes you realize how much more beautiful it is and how promising the future is. There's more positive than negatives. It's much better than what we think it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are getting water. People are looking out for me. Made the experience so much better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a lady that I will never forget who saw, uhm, my crew. She decided to go bake us vegan brownies and met us at RV when we finished the day. So many good people out there. I can't even, there's so many that I'm forgetting. It makes you think that we have a bright future for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running across the country, there is no, uh, compromise. You just have to keep moving, keep tracking. Yes, you'll feel some physical pain, mental pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had posterior shin injury. I, I was on my third one that just healed recently. I had IT band issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My ankle was just swollen, um, shin, forget about it. Blister to a point where you can start seeing my flesh. Uhm, it was so sensitive. I would tape it as much as I can, but any landing shrines, you feel every little pain that comes with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that I get my body ready to train for something like this is changing the whole dynamics of running by going from between zone three and four and five to zone two. Having my body needing least amount of oxygen as possible and being able to go for a very long time. So when I'm running seven miles a day now, now we got upped up to like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In college, I used to lift a lot. So I would actually sneak out and lift with the football team. So lifting was part of what I really loved, but once I got into running, I kind of dialed that down dramatically. So I focused on body weight exercises. So I figured I can get my body stronger without having to put all this pressure with weights on my back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still do bodyweight workout, but recently I would add some weights just to kind of get my mass up a little bit in terms of muscle. I do a lot of lower body workout, a little bit of upper body because you do need your upper body when you run, especially your arms. I hit the weights at least once a week and do some kind of body work, trench training two to three times a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running makes me feel invincible. With the right mindset, anything is possible. Running is my thing. So yours could be anything. If you want to be an artist, go for it. If you want to be a musician, go for it. If you want to be an engineer, go for it. And in terms of seeing me run, I want people to see it's not always fast. It's not always slow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not always easy, but it's also fun at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can do anything I put my mind to. I feel like no one could stop me.

[Assistant] She always looked forward to going to practice. She never complained about anything. Like when she wanted to spend her money, it was always on new balls, new cleats, anything that had to do with soccer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her balance has always been really good. She started picking things up really fast and kinda just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Started growing into the game and once you started picking up things fast, uh, we started training a little bit more. So light on your toes. Ready? Yeah. Light touch. Good. Slide over. Yeah. Casual jog. Yeah. Check your shoulder. Yeah. Directional touch. And go. Good. There we go. That was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she signed her, her professional contract, I was really happy for her because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something that she really wanted to do and it's one of her lifelong dreams and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's just a kid really living her dream and her passion and so I'm really proud of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she's out there, she's enjoying it, right? Like it's in her domain and she's got genuine, you know, passion for the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we've been blessed, I'd say, uhm, from her early on coaches, uh, that she's had. She had a great coach in Ben Urso early on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care if they're taller than me. I don't care. I'll still go at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it also allows her to have a vision, you know, about the future and what's important. She does a phenomenal job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that she's accomplished, everything that she's going to accomplish, but more importantly, her determination, um, and her focus just to, you know, remain steadfast and just, you know, enjoy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played with Cameron probably since I was seven. I've been catching him since I was nine. But we've, we've had a pretty close relationship growing up and it's really helped us over the years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She kinda just used it as a motor to just get better and prove why. You know, why is she McDonald's All-American? Why is she Gatorade Player of the Year? This is why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because obviously I want to see her go off and do all the things she deserves to do, but that's my best friend. So it's gonna be hard with her being so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we just filmed one of the next ups, one of the next stars in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew that he was going to be a leader. What makes Connor so unique is his big frame and his ability to be able to adapt to his body and him knowing what he can do with the plate as well in the field on the mound is a big thing for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and him kind of just came together and we led the team. Knowing that I have somebody that I can trust and they don't feel with me is really special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then a little bit of feet juggling with tennis balls. And then three balls with two people. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the way he plays the game with as much composure as he does, the way he is able to lead with this confidence that he exudes and then the cerebral side of it is pretty special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being a trailblazer can be lonely. She's kind of like the pioneer of women in baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He still goes to work. He's still coachable. He still will listen to what you need to do. You know, he was a guy that just struck you with his presence. We talked for an hour and didn't even talk about football. Had everything to do with other things like what's your why? What's your purpose? What are the things that you value? How would your teammates describe you as a person? And it was just, it just moved me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talk to our kids a lot about just where it all starts in the mind, right? There's that, you know, that saying, watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, it becomes your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to me, that's no days off, right? It's that continuum, that flow of like, I gotta really want this that bad, and I'm willing to do the work that it takes to get where I wanna go. And TP is the epitome of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has a flair of not just beating one, but she'll beat two, she'll beat three players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use a lot of different skills depending on the situation. Bella's so creative that she doesn't necessarily have one move. Way to improvise, Bella. We always try and focus on really quick feet. Go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has a lot of technical skills using all surfaces of both feet. She's left-footed but she uses her right foot the same amount. Tight spaces don't bother her. I think she actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She enjoys the challenge of being in a confined space with two or three players to beat. That's where she shines. She trains so hard. That's why she's so successful and will continue to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We saw what Eddie was doing. We spoke and that's when we knew that, oh man, there's a different level to this. He, he wanted to take it there because to ask a six year old to even show attention for more than 30 minutes is hard. And he was doing this for five, six hours. So he was crying if we weren't going to train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They really don't. Cause you got an hour, hour and a half to deal with 24 kids. That's not much time. The amount of touches he's getting in one day, they probably don't even get in the whole week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I realized that Olivia stood out as a player when she played 8th grade varsity in high school. And I was talking to a local hoops writer. And he just said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realize how good she is. I mean, she's on varsity, so I feel like she's pretty good for her age. And he said, no, do you understand how good she is? By the end of her eighth grade year here, she'll, she'll start to get college offers. And that's when it really hit like, this could be something big for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She picked Michigan because of the culture and she wanted to kind of be her own player and not following somebody else's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, she wanted some extra money and some other people were advertising for mowing lawns and she wanted to do that. So she did that and started with some clients local here around the neighborhood. I feel like that's really taught her hard work. That's one thing with her is that she's never shied away from hard work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What makes me most proud of Rayline is, uh, his dedication to his craft. When you speak about Rayline,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Isabella Marino. I'm 11 years old now. And you probably remember me from North Off when I was 9 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played for ECNL Girls 2009 and I tried out for Chicago Fire Academy Voice. Today I'm going to be competing in several different challenges. This is I Can Do That.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to play defense, but now I play left wing. My biggest improvement is left and right cutting and then either shooting it or crossing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My soccer team is really good. We are the first in the state and we won nationals together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first challenge is ball control challenge. The challenges will be Brazil 1 and Brazil number 2. This time we'll have three attempts to make the perfect goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My strategy was to keep the eye on the ball and to not mess up on the air ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next challenge is juggling challenge. It's a time challenge. This challenge helps with aerial control and I'm confident that I will succeed in 60 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Juggling was easy for me because I was training with Claudio since I was three years old on juggling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This next challenge is juggling challenge. I will have to juggle three balls at a time in 60 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel great that I won all the challenges. My favorite was the juggling one. That one was easy and I'm really used to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today I was working with Tommy with his pitching and his balance on the mound as far as when he was throwing his pitches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a good student, unbelievable player. He's polite. He always comes to work. Yes. Yep. He's like a pro's pro, but he's not a pro yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's probably top 5 guard in SoCal for sure. His ceiling is very very high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number one quote that he likes that I always say is there's a lot of pain in being great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what that means is there's a lot of details in everything that you do. So you have to pay attention to those details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His work ethic is there already. It's him literally just being consistent. If he can be consistent with his strength training and he can be consistent with his prehab and his warm up, his trajectory is right in line with the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, as a freshman, as a quarterback coach and as often as a coordinator. Go. Good. Nice and quick below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we just had to kind of turn him into a quarterb believe he was a thrower


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playing quarterback, your core is such a big, big part of it. So with Carter, we just always want to make sure that we're involving that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you can go out and work every day, but if there's no purpose, if there's no goal, it's kind of all for not. So with Carter, like we just want to make sure that, you know, all this, no days off, we're doing stuff with a purpose. We're doing stuff for a reason and for something greater. A lot of power. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His company got tickets to the Florida Panthers game and he took us all as a family and right when the game started, Jeremiah looks up at us and says, I wanna play this. I was like, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I learned to skate first, let's start there. And we started him in group skating lessons at age three. And it was figure skating group lessons at first. And there was one night we went and there was a hockey group of kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he completely skips his skating, like his figure skating group, and just zooms to the hockey group of kids. And it was with Coach Carrie, and Coach Carrie's like, we'll let him stay and see how he does. She comes up at the end and says, he can stay, get him all the pads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, most kids when they're young and at that age when you're starting, they're watching like YouTube videos of toys or, you know, different, you know, kid things and he was asking for NHL videos and he would sit there and just watch them and analyze them and next thing you know, you'd see him doing that on the ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gets so like hyper-focused sometimes, but then yet still all of a sudden this seven-year-old comes out and he still makes it light-hearted and fun. I saved you a spot!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do family floor hockey, playing basketball. I remember when it was like a hoverboard party. We're just constantly doing things and as a family too, which is really fun for the five of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Work wise and clearly ability wise, he's above a lot of these kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Derek plays at a local high school, which is not far from here, and his family reached out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were looking for a place for him to train and I knew that with Joe and Reroute


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having him around, a lot of the professional guys that are here when he trains, I think really pushes him. We have a few guys from the New York Mets, a couple guys from the LA Angels. We've got some Detroit Tigers. There's a myriad of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you compare kids that come in here, it's very easy to see somebody like Derek stand out. Not even talent wise, which...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is way above everybody else. But work ethic wise, drive wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna show them Superman Tootsie Roll? This is the way we unwind our brain in the morning. Load your rocket. Load your rocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He carries himself like someone who's going to achieve whatever he sets out to achieve, which is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually when you're a taller athlete, you lose a little bit in terms of agility because your center mass starts to grow and get a little taller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, little disadvantage to taller players in terms of agility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Peyton overcomes that, and once he grows into this body of his, which a lot of these professional soccer coaches are seeing right now, uh, he's gonna be an amazing player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that he loves this game so much that he devotes so much time and passion to it and does whatever he has to do to become a better player is just easy for me to want to help him every single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that I've learned about myself is I could do a lot more than I think I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liv and I are very competitive. In one on one, if one of us beats each other, the other one will want to rematch. First of all, she never wins. I always win. Later she'll probably tell you that she wins, but she does not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes down to training, I think the part that I love most is more at the end because we'll do like some competition stuff against each other like a shooting drill, dribbling drill, anything where you get to compete against each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My relationship with my sisters is very close. They can get a little annoying at times. We are definitely very competitive in everything that we do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely love hanging out with them, being able to play with them, and then with my younger sister Olivia being able to play basketball and us being on the same journey as well. I just like being able to inspire her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My trainer is Joshua Villarreal. He trains with some FBA players as well. I think he trains like 30 of them, so he's very talented. And then, when I'm not training with Joshua, I train with my dad as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My training schedule is very hectic every day. There's a lot of hours put in. Usually in the mornings, I'll wake up, go get some shots up in the gym, get warmed up for the day, and then I'll usually get a strength workout in because that's one thing I need to do as basketball players get stronger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few things specifically that I'm working on in my training is getting faster with my feet so I can guard the faster players on defense. And then also just getting stronger in general so I can have a quick burst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I explode out from my crossovers. Right after that, I'll go to my two hour practice and then I also play on another team in which I'll head into another hour, hour and a half practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What gets me through the day would probably be my sisters because I know that they're looking up to me and they like to follow what I do. So I know if I don't get up in the mornings or if I stay lazy that they'll want to do that as well. So I think just being a role model for my younger sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's definitely hard to balance schoolwork and training, especially when it's like finals or when there's important tests. I definitely have to balance my time very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outside of sports, I really like to paint. I have started like painting shoes lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely learn throughout it. I also like to cook just healthier food because I know eating is definitely important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then also just hanging and spending time with my family because with the crazy and hectic schedule that we have, there's very little time for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My proudest moment, there's definitely a lot of those. When we won the championship and I got MVP at a tournament, I believe it was two or three months ago, it's from the sign back there. But I had played really well in that tournament. We had lost to that team twice before. My coach Josh Dad was really proud of me as well, so that was definitely one of my proudest moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My earliest basketball memory is I was in third grade and I wanted to try rec ball, rec basketball. I had played many sports before that. I did baseball. I tried a little bit of soccer and softball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I also did gymnastics before that. I hadn't tried basketball yet. So once I figured out that I had made a team after that season was over, I wasn't that good. I wanted to get better and that led me to where I am today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I love about basketball is the competitiveness and all the fun and new people I get to meet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My parents are very supportive of Olivia and I's basketball journey. Obviously, they handle their schedule around us, which is pretty crazy, but the time in which that we all get to spend together outside of basketball, we definitely value it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play on two different teams. One of them is a prep basketball team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is basically high schoolers. I am currently an eighth grader, so I play up. For prep, it's the highest level of high school basketball you can play. And then my other team that I play on is my grade, so eighth grade team, and that's where I play against my age, and I go up there and dominate. An athlete I look up to would

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the women's college basketball side, a player that I admire is Vanessa DeJesus. She's the point guard for Duke. Her game is like Devin Booker's as well. I really look up to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An NBA team I'm loyal to would definitely be the Lakers. I'm a Lakers fan because my great-grandmom was like a die-hard Lakers fan and I was really close with her. She was my best friend before she passed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She got to give me all her Lakers stuff, which is why that's most of the stuff in the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I coach Kade on our 16 year old scout team.
