00:07.840 --> 00:09.618
hockey game is many things . An

00:09.618 --> 00:11.740
athletic competition , coordination ,

00:11.750 --> 00:13.861
teamwork and the culmination of hours

00:13.861 --> 00:16.170
of practice and dedication . It may not

00:16.180 --> 00:18.180
be readily apparent though , is the

00:18.180 --> 00:20.291
amount of leadership required to keep

00:20.291 --> 00:22.513
the whole team together . I don't see a

00:22.513 --> 00:24.680
leader here that doesn't shy away from

00:24.680 --> 00:26.736
leading by example and they were the

00:26.736 --> 00:28.902
first to get down to themselves . They

00:28.902 --> 00:28.880
realized they didn't and they work it

00:28.880 --> 00:30.824
out with themselves and with their

00:30.824 --> 00:33.102
peers , they take key to the fact that ,

00:33.102 --> 00:35.213
you know , here we are now sit down .

00:35.213 --> 00:37.436
They kind of take the approach that you

00:37.436 --> 00:39.213
would probably like . They were

00:39.213 --> 00:41.269
eventually doing a ship . They don't

00:41.269 --> 00:40.740
wonder where they have an issue where

00:40.740 --> 00:42.851
they got to get everybody back on the

00:42.851 --> 00:45.073
same track and going . They , they kind

00:45.073 --> 00:47.073
of practice some of those skills as

00:47.073 --> 00:49.240
well as take what our hockey motivated

00:49.240 --> 00:51.462
skills they had into at the same time ,

00:51.462 --> 00:53.629
lessons about leadership and having to

00:53.629 --> 00:55.851
rely on your fellow sailors and players

00:55.851 --> 00:58.018
are ingrained into the mid shipment at

00:58.018 --> 00:59.962
the US Naval Academy through their

00:59.962 --> 00:59.730
training on the ice and in the

00:59.730 --> 01:02.030
classroom . They definitely , the

01:02.040 --> 01:04.151
leadership skills that you learned at

01:04.151 --> 01:06.373
the Naval Academy really translate well

01:06.373 --> 01:08.540
into sports just because you learn how

01:08.540 --> 01:10.707
to work with people , You learn how to

01:10.707 --> 01:12.873
get the best out of people . You learn

01:12.873 --> 01:16.500
how to talk to someone and make it so

01:16.500 --> 01:19.160
that they realize that you're trying to

01:19.170 --> 01:22.240
correct them and work as a team . And

01:22.250 --> 01:24.083
the teamwork aspect of the Naval

01:24.083 --> 01:26.460
Academy directly translates from your

01:26.460 --> 01:29.130
company over to the ice and all this

01:29.130 --> 01:31.297
comes together to ensure that both the

01:31.297 --> 01:33.519
mid shipment and the sailors they serve

01:33.519 --> 01:35.686
with will hit their goals . Every time

01:35.686 --> 01:37.463
when I go out in the fleet as a

01:37.463 --> 01:39.574
division officer , you're going to be

01:39.574 --> 01:41.574
looked at as a , as a leader and an

01:41.574 --> 01:43.797
example . And it's definitely something

01:43.797 --> 01:45.963
that I deal with every single day here

01:45.963 --> 01:48.130
at the Naval Academy from Washington .

01:48.130 --> 01:50.463
I'm Petty Officer Patrick here . Heuser ,

01:52.040 --> 01:52.240
Yeah .
