Michael Lewis

Like if you're,

you know whatever but like i've always just believed like if you if you have the team you have a group to do it and and you believe and it'll happen i think like that's that's what it comes down to is is having that belief and um you know like i was fortunate especially at worlds like it just we had you know smitty too like we just we had gone through through all these these ihf tournaments everything we just would wait it would just happen right

And so like, we genuinely just were like, we're going to win.

Hell yeah.

Me and Smitty were joking around.

We're like, Billy needs to take us to the Olympic team so we can win.

he just has so much.

I actually got to work with him when I was really young.

I was like 13 and, um, and he, uh, just, he just taught me so many little things that actually, um, you know, have stuck with me through, through, you know, up until this point.

And, um, I actually worked with him again before my freshman year at Denver.

And, um, so I, I've known him for, for quite some time now.

And, uh, it's just, it's really cool to, to be able to be coached by him and,

Just like his demeanor and how he goes about things.

And, you know, he wants what's best for the team, but also what's best for you.

And he wants to teach you and, you know, help you understand the game.

It's like these little details that I feel like as a head coach, you might not always be sharing with your team, but he does.

You know, he wants...

everyone to play with these little details and have these things.

It doesn't matter if you're, you know, a guy who's been in the league for 10 years or if it's your first year.

So I think that's, that's pretty cool.
