00:00 >> Several times this week I heard you say we're built for this.
00:03 Can you expand on that a little bit and what exactly?
00:06 >> Yeah, I think it's a combination of the things we've been through together.
00:12 The highs and knowing how to play in those big moments and
00:16 then the lows like a year ago.
00:19 And then just everything that we talked through and everything,
00:23 whether it comes from the coaches, but even more so right now being,
00:28 I would consider a player led team.
00:30 That's my goal is to help enable them to be that.
00:35 We give them the template, we give them the guidance, the organization,
00:41 a plan and then making it what it is by keeping themselves,
00:46 holding themselves and each other accountable.
00:49 And taking ownership and just making whatever, even that play,
00:53 that scheme, but this team theirs.
00:56 And we've been through it and you try to point those things out a year ago,
01:01 to where if we're ever in this spot again, this is what we do.
01:05 And so the continuity of coaches, the continuity of players,
01:09 there's just so many lessons we've learned together and things we've held on to.
01:14 And when these moments come, we take advantage of that knowledge and that trust.
