Well, go down any rabbit holes.
And that's one of those where, you know, my mentor, the guy that that really brought me to another level is a guy named Chris Campbell.
He was Dan Gable's first NCAA champ when Dan Gable's coach at Iowa.
He made the 1980 Olympic team that was boycotted, won the 1981 World Championships, voted best technician in the world and then retires.
and then decides he's gonna make the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
So he's, at 37 years old, he wins a bronze medal that year in Barcelona.
I think still to this day, he's the oldest Olympic medalist.

So he ends up, he ends up, he ends up
just really taken me by the hand and, and understanding like singular devotion to something.
