So for you, coming in, and the reason the challenge is that way, when you look at the men's national team, there's often a, with respect, because Landon and I went through this, there's a rise and fall, right?

A new coach comes in because you failed.

New coach comes in because you failed, right?

And then we rarely go from like this strength to strength sort of thing.

But with the women, you can win a gold medal or a World Cup, and then you get a new coach, and that new coach has to go, oh...

My challenge is not to just win games.

My challenge is to win it all.

And so I just, I'm thinking more personally, like, did you feel that?

I mean, I'm guessing that's what drew you to the job, but did you feel sort of that pressure of like, okay, this is a, this is a, I've got to win sort of situation.

That's right.

So it's interesting.

So I can oversimplify and I often do with the women because I'm saying they're just the best.

I love watching them.

They're the best.

They're the best players.

You said you can't.

You can't deny the fact that you have some of the best players and you know that that helps you win games.

But when you look at this team, for people who are listening, for people who are fans like us, when you look at this team, what is the greatest winning component?

Because you said you have the best players, or you often have some of the best players.

It's so interesting.
