Jermaine DyeGuest

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:08

First of all, it's good to see you again, buddy.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:10

It's been a while.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:12

You know, family and all that takes us different places.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:14

But retirement has been good.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:17

Kind of just putting everything towards the kids.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:21

They're all in college now playing college sports.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:25

Both of my sons just finished up at University of Kansas playing football.

And then my daughter's a rower.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:33

She's a junior at University of Tennessee.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:35

Nice.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:36

With their schedules, we go to every game, every race, home and away.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:40

So I feel like I'm on a plane just as much as I was when I was playing.

Eric ChavezHost

3:45

So I've got kids that are kind of growing up.

Eric ChavezHost

3:48

Our kids were about the same age as our friends growing up.

Eric ChavezHost

3:51

Do you get more pride in what they accomplished than what you did? I

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:56

do.

Jermaine DyeGuest

3:56

I just want to see them do well.

Jermaine DyeGuest

4:00

I'm not the parent that's screaming and yelling.

Jermaine DyeGuest

4:02

I kind of just talked to them before.

Jermaine DyeGuest

4:07

And see where their mindset is and what's the game plan and what do I need to look for and how are you going to beat your opponent? And I kind of just stay in the back and just let them be themselves.

Eric ChavezHost

4:20

Well, this is kind of funny because, you know, we talk about youth sports all the time and, you know, what's good and what's bad, but...

Eric ChavezHost

4:26

He's talking about the psychological thing.
