into something like showing up and being there, like showing up and being present, just like with the football players, being able to tell them when they started their first day this year, when you walk in, You go to your teacher. I'm here to be a leader. I'm going to sit in the front row. I'm going to pay attention to the whole class. Like, I'm setting a standard. Like, this is who I am.

This is what I am. This is what I'm going to be. And I think that takes some thought sometimes. And that takes some, I'm going to run and I'm going to go, well, oh, okay, this happens and it kind of knocks me down. Man, this stinks. I'm where I'm at. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh-uh. We ain't staying here though. That's not who we are. That's not what we are.

When we show up, we show up with excellence. When we show up, we're going to punch that clock and we're going to make sure we fit the standard. So, you know, don't worry about how you feel every day because your feelings change every day and what people say change and the task changes, but that doesn't change who you are and what you bring to the table every single time.

Will you succeed all the time? No. But I know you're going to bring your best effort. I know you're going to compete. I know you're going to fight. And I know it's going to be important to you because you have a standard that you're going to actually hold yourself to.

I like that you put it that way because you're right. So when I got to Georgia... We started conditioning in the summertime, and I went in early so I could condition all through that summer. And Coach Van Gorder was my defensive coordinator, and he was always like, hey, Polak, come to the dark side. I'm like, Coach, it's Pollock. He was like, hey, Polak, come to the dark side.

I'm like, all right, forget it. He knows my name. He's calling me that on purpose, obviously. But he was like... He said he watched me in conditioning in the summer, and he said, you were looking and trying to beat everybody. And he was like, I just love the competitiveness. And so our defensive tackle room gets decimated with injuries.

And I played defensive tackle in high school and running back. So I played both. So coach was like, hey, man, we need some defensive tackles. And so they throw me a defensive tackle. And I started playing defensive tackle. And it was awesome. It was great. It was a new challenge. It was hard. There was a lot coming at you fast.

And so I started at fullback, moved to defensive tackling camp, and then had a pretty decent freshman year. And then, Mick, before my sophomore year, like, I moved to defensive aim. So – You talk about three positions in less than a year on campus. And so it was a lot that came at you. But Coach Van Gorder saw me and kind of my attitude. And he was like, I think I think we can work with that.
