You know, like, we're young, so I see all my athleticism in my daughter.

Naturally, like, I look at her and, like, you see the future for your kids rather than the kids see their future because they're just being kids.

And I always tell my daughter, like, now we're like, bro.

I'm like, bro.

I'm like, you can do it all.

Like, but I still want her to be a kid.

So, you know, so now I'm at that parenting phase where me and my wife were like, mommy and daddy still gonna let you be kids.

You know, I'm letting her be a kid.

But at the same time, she knows when it's time to lock in and she knows when it's time to be a kid.

I would say if she didn't have that mindset, then it would be completely different.

So us as parents, I'm like, they get it.

I learned everything through football and being a parent while playing football at my most serious time.

Definitely the schedule.

Definitely waking up at like 4 or 5 a.m.

You do that now?

I'm definitely ingrained to my lifestyle.

Yeah, so the structure of college, just playing sports, if you really live it and ingrained in it,

It taught me, like, the normal society, a regular day of living is easy.

So still wake up at 4 a.m.

Oh, thank God.
