He said, but also, let me ask you, would you consider this?

We've got some guys from the wrestling team who are doing preseason work in the fall.

Would you be interested in that?

I think you could be a really great wrestler.

And so I had a coach come to me and say that uncomfortable conversation to say, hey, here's the reality of it.

You want to muddle around over here?

You can.

That's fine.

I don't have any problem with you doing that.

So be it.

I see an A player over here in this spot.

If you want to put the time into that, that's where I think you should be.

And I'll give you that option.

But you still got to make a decision as to what you want to do.

And so fortunately for me, I chose to take his advice and go wrestle and had a really great, fun wrestling career in high school.

But it does go back to we have to put people in a position to be successful.

Again, people want to be successful.

People want to show up to work and do a bad job.

But if I'm putting them and telling them, here's who I want you to be and it's not who they are, that dynamic will never work.

And it actually will stress them out and it'll make the whole environment difficult.
