So it's like, you know, you need support systems around you at the highest level to get you through that.
And I was fortunate enough to have that.
And the guy that was my support system was playing over me.
You know what I mean?
And the team never lost anything.
you know, anything because Alex would go in and play.
He would talk to me about situations.
He would talk to me how to overcome.
I had Mikey Lowell.
I had Jason Baratek.
I had you.
I had David.
I had guys built around me where they were my support system while I was doing it.
And that and that is the most valuable thing you can give a player.
And that's more credit to Theo and Tito and all the front office people.
And that's what the system that they kind of built at the time.
And then you can filter in young players after that.
Once I got the hang of it, then the next year, Els came up.
And then Jed came up.
And then you had all these guys filter in, and they had the support system that they can succeed even if they struggle.
