thoughts amici yeah so he's right and he's wrong right so are there is there a particular mindset of an elite athlete that would definitely come at odds with what we might expect for the norms of society absolutely right but the very same thing happens with the reintroduction of veterans back into society the very same thing because the mentality of being someone

who is that kind of disciplined in an environment of that kind of peril, creates a mindset that is not exactly normative for mowing your lawn and saying hi to the neighbor and borrowing a cup of sugar or whatever. So, yes, you're right. There are some things that shift. However, does this mean that every athlete who's elite has to be mentally unhealthy?

Michael Jordan in The Last Dance is not an example of what had to be for him. He made choices that meant that certain key people never appeared in that documentary and refused to have a word to say about it. He made choices. And those choices had consequences both for him and his sense of being wrongly done by and his sense of having to whatever else, carry all the weight or whatever else.

Not every elite athlete has to live in a world of misery and mental ill health. But they are going to be wired slightly differently than what you might expect your next door neighbor.

Dan, having a hobby outside of your work or even an education isn't what saves you. It certainly isn't what saved me. It's the idea that at no point did I think I was a basketball player. Did I think that's my title and that's my role? It was what I was doing. It wasn't who I was. When your occupation is your definition, that is inherently always problematic. And that's the difference.

The difference is that when people call me a basketball player now, I'm insulted. I don't lament it. Even when people tell me they can beat me at basketball, I'm amused rather than insulted. This is the nature of this, right? It's the nature of this. Be amused when I pull the chair, buddy.

But, you know, there's talking about it and actually doing it. And, yeah, today was difficult. I was unbelievably nervous this morning. Really nervous on the first hole, as you witnessed with the double. But, as I said, that sort of calmed me down. And, you know, I was able to bounce back and show, you know, that resilience that I've talked about a lot. And...

Yeah, no, look, it was a heavy weight to carry. And, you know, thankfully, I don't have to carry it and it frees me up. And, you know, I know I'm coming back here every year, which is lovely.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Come on now. We're the Cleveland Browns fan guy. Come on now. I'm waiting on my next quarterback here. I got the number two pick in the draft. Now, I don't know what we're going to do. I don't think Cam Ward's not going to be on the table for me, but hope springs eternal.

So you know what, guys? My belief system is always this. If you don't have it right at QB1, what does it really matter? But by the same token, at the number two pick, to me, Abdul Carter is such an overwhelmingly talented player that it's hard for me to pass him by. When at number two... There are real questions then about the value of Shador in that slot in the draft.

If they go and get him, I'm good with it, guys, because I got to get that position right. And let's face it, I'm not saying that he is this, but a year ago we didn't have Jaden Daniels doing what he's doing. Yeah. And you can go right down the line of other cases in the National Football League. So I'm good with either route.
