Yeah.

We forget to do that.

It's unfortunate, man.

Like I've seen a lot of players, especially now, you know, in youth basketball dealing with that,

You have players that are like bigger and faster and stronger and their coaches are just coaching them for results.

We're just going to use your size because you're bigger than every other 12 year old out there to dominate today, but they're not growing.

So they're just based on that result, but they're not focused on growing this young child into becoming a better athlete.

And through that, teaching them how to become a more well-rounded person.

And we're missing that.

Where did that come from?

Well, I had to do that because I grew up, growing up in Italy, when I first moved over there, I didn't speak Italian, I didn't have any friends.

I had the game of basketball and through sport and playing soccer, I was able to make friends and build connections.

But it was a lot of time spent alone.

And when I came back to the States, I wasn't the most athletic kid.

You know, I was really scrawny, like really, really skinny and had like major knee issues because I was growing.

So I was the dorky kid with high socks and big old knee pads.

It wasn't then, it wasn't then.

And so I had to look long-term because in the here and now I couldn't compete with these kids.

I mean, there was kids that were like 12 years old with beards, like I can't.
