I mean, all those things that needed to happen.

I understood kind of the process of it, how it worked and what was hard about those jobs and what wasn't hard about those jobs.

And as I, you know, gained more responsibility in the organization, I was always able to show appreciation for the people that were doing those.

Like, hey, I know this is really hard.

I know this is a tough week.

I could sense what you're going through.

And I think that built some, you know, camaraderie and trust there.

but also it helped me understand how everything worked.

And there were multiple times when people would come to me and say, oh, coach, we can't do this.

You know, we can't do this, we can't do that.

And I'd say, wait a minute, I've done that job before.

We can do that.

Here's how you do it.

This is how you make this work.

And so I felt very confident about all the aspects of the organization, how they fit together and, you know, scouting and coaching and, like I said, equipment and video and security.

And travel and all those things because I was a part of those in one form or another at different points in my career.

So I think, you know, for a lot of people, you know, when I talk about we need to start at the bottom, you really need to understand how the organization works.

There's a lot.

I want to skip those steps.

There's a lot.
