Yeah

... you know, different things.

But, like, really just, you know, we create-- I have a wellness retreat that I'm about to attend that it's my second year doing it, and it's a lot of things that we're gonna do on that wellness retreat.

But ultimately, only thing that's gonna make it successful if we create a, a safe space where people can actually be vulnerable.

And in, in vulnerability comes questions.

Um, you know, uh, you open up more, all these things.

And so we need that in locker rooms.

Mm-hmm.

And so that's why I'm very excited to be a part of it.

Yeah, I think, you know, to Asia's point, we, you know, we're our experiences is what we able to teach people, you know, from.

And, you know, I think once we had the opportunity to be able to put this council together, you understand that we have all had our own unique experiences through our careers, through finances, you know, obviously wins.

and a lot of losses.

And so we all learn through what others go through.

And so I think it's really just about sharing all those things.

I know someone, I sit up here as someone who is very thankful for the seat that I sit in today, but I have so many mistakes along the way.

I

Mm-hmm.

And so, um, you know, I just, I feel honored and blessed, I'm sure like all of us, to be, uh, you know, to be here where, while it's happening.

I think we all are watching, you know, um, the explosion, you know, of, you know, women's sports and the women's game.

And, you know, I just wanna be a part of, you know, of that in, in a sense of, uh, community aspect, um, in the sense of this is Chicago.

I am born and raised here.

Uh, but also, too, uh, just giving back to the game of basketball, you know, all around.

And so, uh, I was honored to invest in a team a few years ago, um, in the small ways I can.

Yep.

What are you guys most excited about?

Uh, I think first and foremost, getting a chance to spend time together.

Uh, that's always important for Trav and I.

And, um, and then from there, um, just to be able to, you know, understand that, you know, we put together this weekend to have a bigger purpose.

And that purpose is, is the give back component of both of our lives, and he, Trav is here at the facility.

He gives back, you know, every day.

And, um, and so it's give back to the community of Milwaukee.

He makes it seem like you're in prison in college, I guess.

Yeah.

And so I think the East normally has that.

Um, but, I mean, the West is what it is.

I mean, it's some special teams, there's some special guys out West.

Um, they just got to beat on each other, though.

That's what we used to say.

Mm-hmm.

But, um, I think it's great for the East right now that it is open.

Mm-hmm.

Also to my relationship with my sister.

Sometimes you gotta take it all the way back to the, to the basics.

And the basics to me is focus on your relationship just with your sister.

Sometimes you just need your sister, you know, and, and, and provide that safe space as just being a sister, not being a, not being the auntie, not being, you know, any- anyone who brings judgment.

Just be that person that she can come to you and she wanna talk to.

Mm-hmm.

And then I've saw, you know, teams where, uh, the best player on the team is exempt from what the others, uh, have to do.

I know he's got this"?

Um, I mean, I, I, you know, I was, I was, I was a star player when Spo got his first head coaching job, and so, you know, I was there along the, the bumps and the, and the bruises of a first-time coach.

Right? Um, about time Brian and them came to Miami, I think he was about two, three years on the job, you saw the, you saw the big improvement, you know, as a coach.

And, like, you know, w- he, he was ver- he had his strengths right away.

And his strength was, "You're gonna be prepared." Right? His, his preparation is in- incredible.

His work ethic is off the chart.

But it's a lot of other things that goes into coaching besides that.

Yeah, some very mean s-
