00:01.109 --> 00:04.276
(inspirational music)

00:15.740 --> 00:16.950
- [Villiana] For me, I think family's

00:16.950 --> 00:18.300
what keeps it all together,

00:18.310 --> 00:22.483
and it's what, at the end of
the day, makes it all worth it,

00:22.910 --> 00:26.210
knowing that you are
representing your family well,

00:26.210 --> 00:28.630
be it in the uniform,

00:28.630 --> 00:32.143
or in the uniform that he wears.

00:32.310 --> 00:34.930
I think that without our families,

00:34.930 --> 00:36.910
it's really hard to really and truly

00:36.910 --> 00:39.293
sometimes go the extra mile.

00:39.298 --> 00:41.128
- [Ricky] Family's very important to me.

00:41.128 --> 00:43.028
Throughout the trials and
tribulations I've been through,

00:43.028 --> 00:45.480
without family, I wouldn't
be in the position I am,

00:45.480 --> 00:47.300
and without family, you won't learn

00:47.300 --> 00:48.923
a lot of the life lessons.

00:48.950 --> 00:49.783
- [Interviewer] What's one thing

00:49.783 --> 00:51.020
that you really appreciate about Ricky,

00:51.020 --> 00:53.050
about him as a brother, and as a sibling?

00:53.050 --> 00:54.657
- [Villiana] Is that he listens.

00:54.720 --> 00:56.142
- [Interviewer] Ah,
that's a good one, yeah.

00:56.142 --> 00:57.048
That he listens.

00:57.048 --> 00:58.283
- [Villiana] That he listens.

00:58.283 --> 01:01.750
That I think that he
actually values my opinion,

01:01.750 --> 01:05.340
and he values my thoughts,
and that's important.

01:05.340 --> 01:06.392
- [Ricky] It's like the other day,

01:06.392 --> 01:07.960
I called her about something,
and I asked her for advice.

01:07.960 --> 01:08.793
And she told me.

01:08.980 --> 01:10.870
So me being a little brother,

01:10.870 --> 01:12.063
you already know you're
gonna tiptoe around it

01:12.063 --> 01:15.093
just to see, just to be that brother,

01:15.400 --> 01:17.550
and what she said was
gonna happen, it did.

01:18.150 --> 01:19.023
She got my trust.

01:19.050 --> 01:20.110
She told me the truth.

01:20.110 --> 01:21.280
She didn't tell me a lie.

01:21.280 --> 01:23.430
She said this was gonna
happen, and it did.

01:24.160 --> 01:26.130
With her just doing that,
that just built my trust.

01:26.130 --> 01:26.963
It built me.

01:26.963 --> 01:27.796
That's my big sister.

01:27.796 --> 01:29.280
- [Villiana] I call him warrior.

01:29.480 --> 01:30.313
- [Interviewer] Warrior?

01:30.313 --> 01:31.146
- [Villiana] Yeah, just kinda like

01:31.146 --> 01:33.503
the same way that we're warriors.

01:33.840 --> 01:35.430
Every time he goes out on the field,

01:35.430 --> 01:36.700
it's a game, yeah.

01:36.700 --> 01:38.920
But he's playing to win just like we,

01:38.920 --> 01:41.310
when we go out in the
field, we're playing to win.

01:41.310 --> 01:43.190
Yeah, our equipment is
a little bit different,

01:43.190 --> 01:45.130
but, nevertheless, I think
our instinct is the same.

01:45.130 --> 01:47.970
We have come to win. (laughs)

01:47.970 --> 01:48.993
We want that W.

01:49.710 --> 01:51.450
So I call him warrior.

01:51.450 --> 01:52.530
Go out there and get them, warrior.

01:52.530 --> 01:54.890
For us to continue to be the warriors

01:54.890 --> 01:58.263
that are needed to face
whatever enemy out there,

01:58.320 --> 02:00.440
we have to care about here.

02:00.440 --> 02:02.310
We have to make sure that this is

02:02.610 --> 02:05.063
as strong as any other part of our body.

02:07.780 --> 02:10.840
To me, mental health
is what makes us tough.

02:10.840 --> 02:12.580
- [Ricky] When we're at the age

02:12.680 --> 02:13.950
when we first start playing football,

02:13.950 --> 02:17.010
I mean, playing professional
football at age 22, 23,

02:17.010 --> 02:18.480
we're not caring about mental health.

02:18.480 --> 02:21.020
We're just caring about the
fame, the fortune, the money.

02:21.020 --> 02:22.820
I just tell them, man, just sit down

02:23.230 --> 02:24.200
and let's talk about it.

02:24.200 --> 02:25.407
No matter how we gotta talk about it,

02:25.407 --> 02:27.750
and at the end of the
day, hey, try this out,

02:27.750 --> 02:29.310
or when you get home try this out,

02:29.310 --> 02:30.260
or try to read a book.

02:30.260 --> 02:31.770
My biggest thing that I actually do is,

02:31.770 --> 02:32.780
what's the last book you read?

02:32.780 --> 02:33.900
Please don't tell me a playbook,

02:33.900 --> 02:34.800
because if you tell me a playbook,

02:34.800 --> 02:36.100
I'm gonna throw it at you.

02:36.220 --> 02:38.490
I want you to actually tell
me the last book to read.

02:38.490 --> 02:40.773
So I've started
recommending books to them.

02:40.890 --> 02:42.860
And then it starts showing
that they start opening up.

02:42.860 --> 02:46.350
Then you just start using the
exercises inside the book.

02:46.350 --> 02:47.800
People just don't understand.

02:48.010 --> 02:49.800
Mental health is the most important thing

02:49.800 --> 02:53.020
'cause the one thing that
controls your body is your mind.

02:53.020 --> 02:54.810
If you know how to control your mind,

02:54.810 --> 02:56.713
the rest of your body will follow.

02:56.863 --> 02:59.899
- We have to be okay with getting help.

02:59.899 --> 03:02.020
We have to be okay with
trusting our family,

03:02.020 --> 03:04.210
that they're steering us
in the right direction,

03:04.210 --> 03:06.763
and that our family loves
us and cares about us,

03:06.900 --> 03:08.980
that when they're giving us guidance

03:08.980 --> 03:12.380
and giving us direction on
how to deal with ourselves,

03:12.380 --> 03:15.220
and how to deal with the
things that we face...

03:16.000 --> 03:20.143
I think that that's important,
just accepting the help.

03:29.010 --> 03:30.423
Be there for yourself.

03:30.605 --> 03:31.902
- Be there for each other.

03:31.902 --> 03:33.202
- [Both] Be there, Marine.
