I believe mentorship is, you know, reaching out to each other and conversating.

Man, sometimes I have been harsh.

So it was it was just it was things that I picked up that I started to do.

And so now, for me, I'm trying to have that balance, too, because I am a pessimistic Paul, right?

Right.

And so in football, man, you see players, they have up and down seasons because every year it's a new habit for you to break every single year.

Not much optimistic Oscar.

And so trying to find that balance.

And so what I catch myself doing is a lot of times when I do my notes, I'm saying, why is this player not going to perform well?

Right.

There are going to be things that you do well and there are going to be things that you want to cover your eyes just because.

you create a new habit that you weren't even aware of because there's scouting reports and players who watch all your film to see what bad habits you have.

And so I'm trying to see those balance.

And the new, you know, the new age guys, they prefer, you know, they prefer the compliments laid on more than the criticism.

Also to see what good habits you have.

And so just trying to find different words and different ways that I'm comfortable with.

How I can critique, but not criticize.

Okay.

That's the crazy part.

Right.
