WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:01.190
My name is Evan Amstutz.

00:01.190 --> 00:04.410
I'm the assistant coach at
Angelo State University.

00:04.410 --> 00:07.260
We're a Division Two in
Texas, and so we're coming

00:07.260 --> 00:08.633
up here for a convention.

00:10.120 --> 00:12.380
We figured we'd get after
it a little bit this morning

00:12.380 --> 00:16.510
and get our daily recommendation
of burpees and pushups

00:16.510 --> 00:18.300
and good stuff like that.

00:18.300 --> 00:21.080
So we got to split off into
teams and do a whole bunch

00:21.080 --> 00:24.408
of cool stuff like that, and
got some great leadership

00:24.408 --> 00:26.150
from all the people who put this on.

00:26.150 --> 00:27.980
So we're really thankful for it.

00:27.980 --> 00:32.194
- [Interviewer] Okay. How do
you see the convention growing

00:32.194 --> 00:34.240
in upcoming years?

00:34.240 --> 00:36.547
- Yeah, you know the
better places they put it,

00:36.547 --> 00:38.300
the more coaches they attract.

00:38.300 --> 00:39.790
So, I mean, this is a great city.

00:39.790 --> 00:40.860
Minneapolis is a great city.

00:40.860 --> 00:42.990
There's tons of stuff to do here.

00:42.990 --> 00:44.620
Just outside of the championship games,

00:44.620 --> 00:46.378
and all the educational sessions here,

00:46.378 --> 00:49.970
so the better places they put
it, the more of us will come.

00:49.970 --> 00:52.210
So that's where I see it growing.

00:52.210 --> 00:53.115
Oh, sure, I mean.

00:53.115 --> 00:54.590
- [Interviewer] (mumbles)
... in the Marines.

00:54.590 --> 00:57.200
- Definitely, so for us, we took a lot

00:57.200 --> 00:58.800
of leadership strategies
from the military.

00:58.800 --> 01:02.331
I mean, they're an organization
that has been around

01:02.331 --> 01:07.331
since the dawn of time, so
they know how to lead people.

01:07.350 --> 01:09.670
And so we took a lot of
their leadership strategies.

01:09.670 --> 01:12.038
You know, how to hold certain standards,

01:12.038 --> 01:16.610
how to keep people in line,
and how to achieve goals

01:16.610 --> 01:18.580
as a team, and good stuff like that.

01:18.580 --> 01:22.770
So, we always try to model what we do

01:22.770 --> 01:24.730
after things that are sustainable,

01:24.730 --> 01:27.060
and things that have
been proven over time.

01:27.060 --> 01:28.949
And certainly, the Marines have done that.

01:28.949 --> 01:31.350
Yeah, I'm just really
appreciative of today,

01:31.350 --> 01:32.880
and all the people who put us through

01:32.880 --> 01:35.780
this little bit of torture,
so we'll be back next year

01:35.780 --> 01:36.950
to enjoy some more.

01:36.950 --> 01:38.387
- [Interviewer] All right, thank you.
