And I didn't include this in the story because I thought it kind of led me on a path to a place that like made the story too long and kind of not as focused. But you look at Andrew Nembhard, Andrew Nembhard's ability to stop on a dime. All these guys are elite at changing speeds and stopping. Andrew Nembhard, not as good of a player as Shea Gildress Alexander, but he's good. He's very good.

And he is elite at playing with speeds. And he taught Shea how to play with speeds, how to compensate for that lack of size by messing with timing. He taught him about acceleration and deceleration. He used the analogy of Shea being a car that has four gears. And he came up with a formula that Shea could use at the time.

You never want to go to fourth gear because then you're going to lose control of the wheel. You don't really want to vacillate between second and third gear because that's too predictable. They're too similar. So you want to go from three to one, one to three, ratchet back down to two, and then two to one, and then one to two or one to three.

And that's the way that you can just kind of mess with people's timing. So she started working on shifting between those gears. And he taught him about the strength of triangles, which is not really. I mean, look, if I'm going to have a criticism of this story, if I'm a reader and I'm non-bias, I said science. And I mentioned it is geometry, but geometry is not science. It's math.
