And so all you're seeing on there is like actual conversations that I would have with our parents and players and during our training sessions, you know? And so I think that helps. I think. The other thing is, you know, it's crazy. I can't remember, like, our area having as many high-level players as we have right now. Andre Jackson with the Bucs. Kevin Herter with the Sacramento Kings.

What happened, you know, in like that small period of time in Albany, New York is I was able to work with all those players and it wasn't anything that I did, but they were all around each other and they all had a similar perspective. Right. And so like when you know, like Andrew Playtech played at North Carolina before he went there his freshman year.

And so you have all these people that have real life experience. It's not somebody spewing some crap so that their business makes more money. Right. And so I think, I always say this, especially it helps when you have NBA players. If I was in New York City or Los Angeles or Miami, I'd have triple the amount of NBA players that I work with now. But I'm home in Albany, New York.
