The process.

So work ethic, obviously, above all.

Right.

And that's what you were saying, too.

It's the first thing that comes to mind when you are coaching athletes yourself, you know, in life or otherwise.

Why do you think that's so important?

Why does it give you that confidence?

Yeah.

You know, it's interesting, Floyd, and my husband will tell this story, because he was walking Floyd to the ring, and we were in his locker room before a big fight, and he was just hanging out on the sofa.

And his kids were all running around, and he was just hanging out.

Paul asked him, so what are you thinking now?

What do you do before your fight?

And he said, well, if I'm not ready by the time I get here, then I'm not ever going to be ready.

And it was such an interesting perspective, just because everybody gets nervous before they do something, and it's like, no, no, if you're prepared, if you've done everything you possibly can to prepare for that moment,

then you have to have the confidence in yourself that you know what you're going to do.

Obviously, you don't know what's going to happen or what other people are going to do or circumstances you can't control, but you can control the work you put in.

And then it's second nature versus having to think so much.

I love that philosophy.

And it certainly works for you.

I mean, I hope, I hope, I hope.
