Bill Belichick

every week the teams are geared towards stopping those players and game planning against them or putting their best guy on them or however you're going to handle them.

And for those players to continue to be productive in spite of the game plan attention they get is what truly makes those players, you know, great and elite.

And I think that, you know, when we had Kobe Bryant come in and talk to our team, I think it was around 2018, 19, somewhere in there,

And, you know, Kobe talked a lot about evolving, you know, and he said, you know, look, when I was 22, 23, you know, I could just get the ball and drive by anybody and score.

And he said, I can't do that anymore.

I still score, but I found different ways to score, moving without the ball, jump shots and, you know, being better in pick situations and all those kind of things.

That, you know, he said, I found I found ways to evolve my game because I just couldn't do the things I used to be able to do as well.

But there are other things I found that I can actually do better.

And I thought that was a great message for all of us to hear that as we, you know, as we as we go through our careers.

Do the things that are working, do the things that you can do well, but also evolve, continue to learn, continue to, you know, find ways to be productive that are maybe a little out of your comfort zone or are not, you know, habitual for you now.

But if you can become good at them, they can be great, you know, great tools for you.

Oh, yeah, we had a lot of them.

Yeah, we had a lot of them.

And it was great because, you know, just the guys, you know, they hear a lot of football stories, but it's good to hear all the ones.

One of the ones I thought was particularly entertaining, a couple of them.

One was Paul Asciante.

They won like 14 national championships in a row.

They won like 160 some games in a row, matches in a row.

I mean, and.

At the Patriots, we were favored in almost every game, you know, not every game, but most every game for quite a while.
