Damon West

That last coach is going to tell you no to your face before you go home.

And Mick, that last coach, he's the hardest guy to get to in the room.

His team just beat Alabama two nights before for the national championship.

Yeah.

That was Sweeney, man.

But I remind myself that night, right there on the spot, I'm telling myself, Damon, you survived a maximum security prison, man.

This is not going to hurt you like prison hurts you.

Sometimes in life, I think that we need to remind ourselves of the times when we succeeded.

Remember the wins that you have in life.

Remember how good you are and what you did to get to that place you were right there.

That's the message you need to tell yourself.

Man, I've done this before.

I'm going to do it again.

And I'm like, I'm not leaving until he tells you no.

So Mick, I stalked Dabo around this room and I was like a crazy person, man.

I'm hiding behind fake plants.

I'm pushing people out of the way.

Folks are getting nudged by me.

Dabo sees me and security sees me too.

And then it's, who's going to get there first.
