As long as you have high character guys on the team and you're out there and you're fighting hard and you're not moping around and... voice-verified

you know you go out there and you're you're part of the community i i think you can be likable as long as there is a plan and as long as the young players are improving and getting better and becoming a team that is possible but it is a very difficult balancing act especially with the young players because you don't want to be a winning team so i think this is the way i'm going to put it you don't want to be a winning team but you don't want to be a bunch of losers voice-verified

But I also think that you need the young players to be high-character guys, too, because who are the young players that are going to go talk to? voice-verified

Who are they going to go associate with? voice-verified

Who are they going to hang out with? voice-verified

It's going to be their fellow youth. voice-verified

And they're going to hang out. voice-verified

And if you've got a young player that acts in a certain way, good or bad, you're going to take the lead from that youngster. voice-verified
