And I'm just going to pound on it for a second because right now, the things we're talking about are not really embraced anymore.

They're not really considered important anymore.

And to me, they're the most important part of it.

All the other stuff that you want to teach me, that's great.

And I want, like I said, the best coaches, I want the best staff, whatever.

But I also want...

A pressure release valve.

There's enough pressure being applied to athletes.

I was watching the NBA game last night with the Spurs and the Knicks.

All of a sudden you're playing a championship game in the first month of the season pretty much.

My God.

That's kind of like the WBC classic, I guess, right?

A couple years ago when Tony pitched that.

But anyway, I believe in the pressure release valve.

And I don't know that enough people understand that.

everybody that everybody that's really never done what you guys have done i have so much respect for what you guys have done and that's where my my perspective comes from i never did it i was i was good maybe once two three times a week at the most as a baseball player and so the guy that could play every day i think how the hell does he how can he how can he maintain his his focus his uh sanity and not only that your physical repetition of your skill

Now, that's big because to be able to do, everybody takes it for granted, but whether it's your good batting stroke, whether it's your good throwing stroke, your good fielding stroke, whatever it might be, to do that every day is less than 1% of the population.

It's so special.

Okay, right.

Oh, it could have been, yeah.
