My experience, everyone's got a different routine, Gerard, and whatever works for you.

And that was the shift about five or six years ago when Buddy, I remember being at Hawthorne and they were trying to make Buddy run straight.

And he was trying.

And I think they discovered, I think David Rath was there and he was an expert in the biomechanism piece and you film and put all the dots on your body, all that sort of stuff.

And I think in the end it was just you do you.

Just make sure your routine's sound in terms of you can repeat it.

And Jake is one of the straightest kicks I've ever coached.

And I think a lot of it's just mental.

So how do you, you know, that's what all the psychs at the clubs do now and the performance mindset and how do you replicate kicking on the siren to win the game?

It's really difficult.

So yeah, he'd be working through a lot, but I think a lot of it won't be on the ground.

I think it'd be how to get your head right and the right mindset.

It's like putting, you know, but if you're a good putter.

So all the guys out there who, yeah, I'm not a great putter, I'm three foot.

But if you're a really, really good putter and then you're having a bad run, you know, I don't know if you go changing your style, your technique.

So it seems to be anything that's right of straight, that's the struggle.

Anything left of straight, he either snaps it or it's not as concerning.

So we saw it against Port the week before and he's so emotional, so public with...

you know, um, with every miss or every goal that you kick.

So, and when he kicks him now, it's like, no, well, it didn't even spin properly.
