Yeah.

We had our, we had our firstborn there, and, uh, and then I came back and joined John Speraw at UCLA, and then we had our second in Santa Monica.

So, uh, my wife's from Ohio, and I just feel like, uh, it's being back in my home roots.

I'm actually in the same neighborhood as my parents.

And, and now I'm, I'm into this, this phase of coaching where I just love to watch the guys evolve and develop and watch them win and watch them succeed.

And, and, uh, and really I love mentoring coaches too, so, like, having my assistants and helping them with the process of what it takes to be a great coach.

And, um, I've, I was fortunate enough to be around John Speraw and Alan Knipe and, uh, Bill Ferguson and, and Rick McLaughlin, and I could go on and on and on.

Yeah.

Today, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go back in the vault to 2021, and I'm gonna share an interview that I had with Coach John Speraw, who's now the president and CEO of USAV.

He's the former, uh, head coach of the senior men's national team, as well as the former head coach at UCLA.

And I actually had this interview with him in October in 2021, and we talked about, um, seasonal planning, we talked about, uh, player development.
