I'm just lucky enough to still be doing one.

anytime I get to talk to kids, young kids in middle school, high school, the only thing I tell them is like, play as many sports as you can.

Like, I think for me, you know, it was... The winter was hockey, the fall was football, spring and summer was baseball.

And it was like, I didn't even think about picking up a bat in the winter.

I didn't think about picking up a hockey stick in the summer.

But like, when it was time for that season, like, I was all in on that.

And I think when I got to college, that was like the one edge I had on guys was just being able to, you know, I think I understood just...

The competition aspect of how to compete in different environments.

I learned that by being in a huddle or being in a locker room in hockey.

When I got to college, I knew nothing about baseball.

I was a very mediocre baseball player.

That was the first time I ever played a sport year-round.

That was the time for me to really learn it.

I don't think you need to...

do that before you get to college you know I think it's important to you know play different sports even physically like putting your body in different situations and that's what I think helped me the most and I still carry with me and that to understand there is a time for playing one sport and for me that you know it was college.

It's not yet...

You know, I see kids that are like, you know, I'm a P.O.

And I'm like, dude, you're in seventh grade.

Like, what?

You should be having fun and playing different sports in different positions.
