They might not be as talented as somebody else, but they play and compete to the max.

You mentioned The Last Dance in your book.

What was your reaction to watching that?

I mean, I thought it was awesome.

And, you know, Jordan's one of the greatest competitors in any sport ever.

And, you know, just just, you know, his competitive spirit is, you know, up there with the guys that he played with, like Lawrence Taylor at North Carolina.

Those guys, they still compete all the time on the golf course.

So I thought it was a great insight into it.

You know, Brady's a tremendous competitor there.

Julian Edelman, Bruschi, every time Bruschi came back from stroke and continued to play, you know, some of those guys, Rodney Harrison, it's just, it's at an elite level, which it should be in the National Football League, but it's just at an elite level.

I wasn't around him enough to, you know, to comment about that.

But I think if you don't really like to compete, that a top competitor will kind of wear you down and it kind of, I don't want to say resist to it, but, you know, just to resist and compete at that level.

So I have seen that from time to time.

But the guys that really love to compete, love to compete.

And they just join in there and compete with them.

Yeah.

Anything that anything that prevents you from achieving your best that you control.

So it's not the opponent.

It's it's something that happens internally.

Examples would be, you know, guys getting suspended for performance enhancing drugs or guys that.
