I'm still letting them be kids.

But it is that mental side that my kids, you know, I wake up at 4 a.m.

every day.

And then when I get off work, I'm going back in the gym to do the second, I call it two days.

But they know my cycle.

They're like, and now it's the norm.

So when I, like, I always tell my wife, like, me creating that norm of that cycle

real life visualization for my kids, they know what real work looks like.

So now it limits my kids from making excuses.

So to answer the question, like college structured me to know what's hard, what's easy and what is my hard and easy.

And what my hard and easy in college was nothing.

It was only like being away from my wife and kids.

So, I mean, my brother talked about it all the time.

Like, college was easy.

Like, all the workouts, we crushed.

All the games, like, when we started playing, like, it was nobody.

Well, I would say one person that was the best athlete I've ever seen was Devontae Adams.

We played against him.

And I was like, bruh.

I was like, it's done.
