And I think that what's interesting is we had a coach in our club years ago who told me one day, "Well, I teach kids to pass their hands apart first and then put them together late." And, and I never-- I don't think I was ever nice enough to this coach because I was like, "You know, I hadn't said that out loud ever, but I want that too." Uh, and people who put their hands together early end up being in a really bad spot, and we teach everybody to pass with their hands together in the middle of their body f- first.

Bear GrasslGUEST
That is if you are nine years old, you are sure as anything gonna be standing there with your hands together, and you're gonna try and pass it.

Bear GrasslGUEST
And so then when it goes to the side, well, you're gonna have your hands together then too, and you're gonna swing them over to the side.

Bear GrasslGUEST
And you're gonna swing them, and there's no way in the world you're gonna have your back shoulder high enough and your front shoulder low enough to make a wall.

So when you talk about fun, though, besides your dynamic personality, what else do you got going for you over there to make it fun?

Bear GrasslGUEST
I am, I'm a pretty firm believer in that's the way we're gonna get better at doing this.

Bear GrasslGUEST
And I think that, uh, the less experienced you are, the less you need to be doing lots and lots of skill work.

Bear GrasslGUEST
But if I said, "You know, you don't even really understand what the point of the activity is.
