What does that kind of do for you to keep that motivation and say, you know, even though things maybe aren't always going your way out as an athlete or out there on the field, that you kind of have that faith if we want to bring it back to that?

I mean, if you look at Brandon Woodruff or Christian Jelic, those guys have been with the organization for the longest.

being able to hold the faith.

It's, it's ironic because that Brewers team has been at the cusp so many times and you hear the excuse, small market, don't have the deep pitching, don't have the roster space, don't have this, don't have that until you do, until you make that history, until you do win it.

And in, in sports in general, it just, it's the biggest piece of irony for me.

Somebody wins the championship every single year.

Like somebody has to win.

And do you have any final thoughts about that?

And Alec, do you find that sometimes you might lean maybe then more on some of your strengths in those moments? Or do you feel like that's kind of like a good reminder when you find yourself trying to be too perfectionist to lean back to what you're good at and what makes you unique versus others?

Um, I mean, comparison is always tough, but I think when you are going through a tough time in your life, adversity, uh, hardship, whatever it might be, maybe it's really good times.

Um, maximizing those positives, those gifts that have been given to you, and also trying to eliminate those negative habits, those negative coping mechanisms, those negative intrusive thoughts.

We're constantly trying to add positives and eliminate negatives.

I feel like that's how I look at football.

That's how I look at life, but also just in our walk.

I think we can find...

Do you have any, you know, you guess, do you have any ways of like kind of analyzing your distractions in your life? Maybe do you ever look at that and say, Hey, what are, what are things that actually do cause me, you know, to maybe not want to pursue this every day?

So remember that.

That Texas story that you just shared, I believe is so powerful.

Obviously the positive mindset, positive leadership, encouraging those guys to feel like I am enough.

I am this warrior.

to see that in a team setting.

Because individually, they're standing up and they're saying, I am this.

But then a coach gets them around and is able to say, I am, and everyone to say together, my brother's keeper.

And while you're rhythmic breathing and practicing gratitude, you create coherence, which allows you to have a more fluid swing.
