00:00.400 --> 00:02.289
I don't necessarily think there's

00:02.289 --> 00:04.344
anything in particular about me that

00:04.350 --> 00:06.517
makes me different from other people .

00:06.517 --> 00:08.850
I don't I don't necessarily believe . I

00:08.850 --> 00:12.580
don't think that people in general have

00:12.590 --> 00:14.890
have something special . I think we all

00:14.890 --> 00:17.057
have the same thing , We all start out

00:17.057 --> 00:19.168
the same base and the choices that we

00:19.168 --> 00:21.460
make and the things that we do are what

00:21.460 --> 00:24.140
separates us , What do I think my my

00:24.140 --> 00:26.084
key to success is I think it's the

00:26.084 --> 00:28.307
ability to make that decision , which I

00:28.307 --> 00:30.529
think everybody has , we have to decide

00:30.529 --> 00:32.650
to take that first step . That's the

00:32.650 --> 00:35.810
hardest part is deciding to start every

00:35.810 --> 00:37.930
step after . That becomes easy . Same

00:37.930 --> 00:39.597
thing with bettering yourself

00:39.597 --> 00:41.708
physically and mentally , you have to

00:41.708 --> 00:44.230
decide to take that step forward and

00:44.230 --> 00:46.341
not only just decided actually step .

00:46.341 --> 00:49.610
And I think that's the lesson the sport

00:49.620 --> 00:51.787
is trying to teach us , that there are

00:51.787 --> 00:53.920
things in front of us that they're

00:53.920 --> 00:56.087
going to be hard , they're going to be

00:56.087 --> 00:58.087
challenging . And a lot of times we

00:58.087 --> 01:00.253
talk ourselves out of those things and

01:00.253 --> 01:02.253
we say that's too hard , that's too

01:02.253 --> 01:04.420
difficult . You can never make it that

01:04.420 --> 01:04.310
way . I can never be good at this

01:04.310 --> 01:06.421
because it's new and it's different .

01:06.421 --> 01:08.366
So we avoid it , we avoid a lot of

01:08.366 --> 01:10.477
things in life because of the fear of

01:10.477 --> 01:12.940
not knowing how to do it . This is the

01:12.950 --> 01:15.172
catalyst , the crucible , if you will ,

01:15.172 --> 01:17.440
where everybody comes together to put

01:17.450 --> 01:19.672
everything that they've learned all the

01:19.672 --> 01:22.000
training , all the recovery , all the

01:22.000 --> 01:23.778
hard work they put in to better

01:23.778 --> 01:26.000
themselves , where they get to see it ,

01:26.000 --> 01:28.222
where they're gonna be measuring , this

01:28.222 --> 01:30.340
is where they're going to find out of

01:30.340 --> 01:32.562
all the things that I've done , all the

01:32.562 --> 01:34.729
things that I've worked for . Did they

01:34.729 --> 01:36.562
get me ? You can't find that out

01:36.562 --> 01:38.673
anywhere other than right here at the

01:38.673 --> 01:40.729
Warrior Games . You really can't you

01:40.729 --> 01:42.840
can have an idea , you can have a few

01:42.840 --> 01:45.007
more , but here , you'll know , win or

01:45.007 --> 01:47.173
lose , they're gonna know . And that's

01:47.173 --> 01:49.118
the best thing . You'll see people

01:49.118 --> 01:51.229
leaving here differently , Going back

01:51.229 --> 01:53.229
home with 10 times the confidence ,

01:53.229 --> 01:56.110
because again , it goes back to taking

01:56.110 --> 01:58.760
that step . They took that step , they

01:58.770 --> 02:00.826
did the work and then they took that

02:00.826 --> 02:02.937
next step and they showed up and they

02:02.937 --> 02:05.103
put it on the field of competition for

02:05.103 --> 02:07.103
everybody to see . And not only did

02:07.103 --> 02:09.500
everybody see it , they saw it . And

02:09.500 --> 02:11.770
they now know if I could tell anybody

02:11.780 --> 02:13.800
you had to talk to your commanding

02:13.800 --> 02:15.970
officer and explain to them what is it

02:15.980 --> 02:18.210
that is the warrior games . That's what

02:18.210 --> 02:21.750
it is . Its recovery

02:21.940 --> 02:24.690
teamwork and camaraderie all coming

02:24.690 --> 02:27.990
together in one place , it's not a game ,

02:29.390 --> 02:30.230
it's recovered
