So Erin, when someone first connects with Achilles, what happens after that? How do you go from, "Hey, I'm an athlete, I wanna do something," to then matching that person and, uh, having them proceed with their goals?

Erin SpaldingGUEST
He used the term athlete, and, and that is part of our community, it's part of our culture, that we call everyone an athlete.

Erin SpaldingGUEST
And I get looks sometimes, you know, if I'm at a group, like, you know, a, a support group where I first met Keith.

Erin SpaldingGUEST
I get questions, "Well, I've never done anything athletic," to, "Hey, I was a, you know, high school athlete, college athlete, weekend warrior," you know, whatever it is for that person.

Erin SpaldingGUEST
But there's something that's prideful, right? That you're, you come into Achilles, you come into our community, you're part of our team.
