Absolutely.

Pilates is like a, it's a multiplier too.

So like that's how I, I ...

My first session, it was because I, you know, obviously was recommended.

"Oh, where'd you learn this? Where'd you learn this?" "Oh, I learned it from Nikki." "Oh, I learned it from Nikki.

Well, shoot, I gotta go to Nikki then." So I went to the source, and I realized quickly that Pilates was gonna not only make my, my weight sessions better, it was gonna make my, you know, my field sessions better.

It was gonna make me move better on the field.

And the adrenaline kicks in and you don't feel anything.

Like, the dream has come true.

Man, I remember... [sighs] There's a couple b- I feel like when it comes to moments in my life that, like, propelled me to my next career, there's, there's, there's, like, three things that I can think about off the top of my head, and two of them have nothing to do with me.

So my brother, you know, was my...

He was 17 months older than me.

He went to the NFL before me.

He went to college before me.

Just him kind of breaking, you know, breaking off the reins and going for it and trying to be a college athlete, and then succeeding and getting it done despite how hard it was, gave me the confidence to be like, "I'm a do it."

Just that dude's opinion.

Sure

... and, and they've kind of watched me very closely.

I know that a lot of people, you know, are thinking, "Oh, man, this guy was, wasn't even playing, and then he just comes into the game and he, and he balls out." And it's like, really, like, no, I, I've actually really been playing well.

I mean, in my, I mean, obviously, you know, you, I want to see myself do better.

Uh, as a competitor, I can always do better.

But I've really had 10 years of straight consistent work at linebacker.

So they knew what I'm capable of.

It's cold.
