So if you take all the top sim racers, most of them would be better than I am

physically at driving a vehicle, but they generally can't take that and perform the same way or better under pressure.

I perform my best when shit hits the fan.

That's my happy place.

And I think you guys and most of the military guys that I've met.

So my talent.

was never being the absolute best the absolute sharpest but was being able to make those decisions when it counted at the bottom of the ninth to say is this worth it and risk reward changes every single day of your life you get married you have kids but at the same time i want my kids to see the amount of work that it takes to get to the top i want them to see

the risks that you're gonna have to take doesn't always work yeah they see me hurt a lot yeah they see everyone around our house we have a lot of olympians that come through um a lot of world champions a lot of people doing world records and it's funny because my daughters and this is another tangent but one of my daughters i was like hey man you're really good like you should work you know you you can you can be the the the national champion at this

And, you know, at seven years old, she's jumping over my wife.

She's in a car, a Can-Am, jumping over a Subaru doing an 80-foot gap.

Yeah, totally normal seven-year-old stuff.

Normal seven-year-old stuff.

That was actually her seventh birthday.

So, yeah, just barely seven.

Totally normal.

And I'm like, this could be a career.

And she's like, yeah.

I don't think I, and this is like literally seven years old.

She says, I don't know that I want to be the best at anything.

And I took a huge step back and I was like, are you my daughter?
