Um And that also translates to off the field when you're just talking to them . Um I think it's important to put in effort , um , as well as just like knowing , I think you have to know what you're looking for when you're talking to coaches . I know it's , it's intimidating .
Um But you kind of learn to love that because it's everyone on that team is doing what they love to and it's good to be in an environment where all kind of share that passion .

Um and like , we complain about it all the time , but it's like these are like the four or five years that we're going to look back on and we're gonna love .
