And, and like, dude, it fucking scared me.
I was just a little kid.
You know, I didn't have the fucking, I didn't know, you know, and, and,
I remember fucking getting in the car and my dad being, and I'm like, dude, I don't like this.
This sucks.
And my dad's like, you're fucking doing it.
We signed you up.
You're fucking doing it.
And then it led to literally me going through and playing high school, you know, all the way through high school and, uh, you know, becoming pretty good athlete, but most importantly, learning all the skillsets, uh,
that come with, you know, operating on a team and running an effective team and all of these things, you know, anybody who's played football will tell you, like, it's the greatest metaphor for teamwork and culture and life, really any sport, right?
But football, especially because, you know, of the way the game's set up.

a team we got to move the ball from here to there how the are we going to do it and so had i quit i would have missed out on all those skills you know and i hated it bro i remember i like i was crying i was throwing a fit you know and my dad's like yeah too bad yeah you're not quitting that's too damn bad yeah yeah because i'm tired grandpa and so that's what it was and um
You know, after that talk, I knew for sure, like, there was no... It goes back to zero options, bro.
Yeah, like, I'm not getting out of it.
So, you know, it was straight up, you know, never tolerated.
And I think parents...
are way too accommodating to that kind of shit without realizing what it's actually doing for the adult that they're trying to raise.
Yeah, bro.
