So talk to me about what that was originally like.
2:43
just growing up in high school and as a youth, it's hard.
2:48
It's so hard just figuring out who you are and the kind of life you wanna live and figuring out what do I wanna do and it's stressful.
2:56
And I feel like in high school, that's where I struggled the most.
3:00
And I kind of got stuck in this little bit of depression and anxiety.
3:05
And it was really hard and really scary.
3:08
And I feel like the more I've talked about it, the more I realize that it is so common.

What else?
25:29
And Riley, you're just joining us now after coming from a training session, right? I mean, can we start there? For someone who's never been into the NFL, I mean, what's, what's your training like?
25:39
It's pretty full-on.
25:40
During, during the season, uh, we get Mondays off, but, uh, you never really get a day off, so you're still going in, watching film or doing something for your body, uh, something like that.
25:51
And then Tuesdays is our main practice day, along with Wednesdays, so you're in full pads for those two days.
25:58
You get in the facility at about probably around 1:30, 2:00, eat some food.
26:03
Meetings start at 2:45, and you go all the way till about 7:30, 7:00, 7:30.
26:09
Uh, and then you wake up the next day, like tomorrow morning.
26:35
Can you talk us through how did all this come about?
