So, yeah, that's a really interesting way of dealing with it.

Um, so, so going back a little bit to, you don't really, you want your players playing world-class environments and that could be here in America.

It could be somewhere else.

If they seek your counsel, then, uh, and some, some players probably don't, they have their agents and their families and they make their decisions.

But if they seek your counsel, then it's, am I understanding this right?

You're sort of, sort of walking them through and helping them make the decision.

You're not really dictating where they play.

You know, I think that's the interesting part for me is sort of how you've been able to transition that because what you're saying resonates with me.

And I know Landon has his own sort of fatherly figure coaches, but I played for...

some brilliant coaches, but I think I played for some brilliant human beings.

And part of what made them a great coach was that every day they had their hands.

I mean, every day we ate breakfast together, every day they patted me on the back or challenged me.

And like that made them special.

And if I, and made it different because they had me every single day.

But for, to be able to transition that is, is such a, such a key component.

What I always think about with the women's national team is this.

it's so different because our women are the best in the world.

Sure.

On an odd, on the odd occasion, Germany could be great.

The U S women as players, or, or it could be your, your former England team, but like they're the, they're in the conversation of the best team in the world with the best players.
