Yeah.

Deante BattleGUEST
I mean it's interesting in the fact that the career path that I thought it would go to didn't pan out and it still ended up playing, still ended up in football, but just a different side of the world, I guess you could say.

Deante BattleGUEST
So, you know, as a player, like typically the ultimate goal is to be a professional in the US and make it to the NFL where you're making big time money.

Deante BattleGUEST
But, you know, at some point it came to a point where I realized like, all right, do I want to continue to chase this dream? And I decided, after a while, I was like, I think this is around 2008, the economy had crashed.

Deante BattleGUEST
Most of my opportunities, when there used to be an NFL Europe, there used to be an Arena League in the US that paid a good amount of money, and I was like, the opportunities really aren't there anymore.

Deante BattleGUEST
So I decided, okay, I'm gonna get a job, I'm gonna become a normal person, go to work 40 hours a week, I'll figure something out.

And seeing how you've been able to take this team within the span of two years, we are really just curious to know, how did you take a team that was struggling to make it to the playoffs, become the champions within the world? Poland League, winning the Polish Bowl, what were the transitions, what were the things that was happening behind the scenes and how did you imbibe that kind of winning culture within the team?
