DJ Reader on His Mindset Over Final Five Games

Transcript

00:00 one thing to see them execute in practice and then a whole nother, does it give you

00:04 a whole nother belief to see that happen in a game on Monday night on the road with your

00:09 back against the wall?

00:10 I mean yeah, because I mean practice is almost set up for you to be successful.

00:14 It's the scouting, you're running cards and you know what I'm saying?

00:18 So yeah, everybody's good, decent in practice.

00:21 You've got to go out there and apply it.

00:22 But you know, you also, there's certain things that do translate, like the way people go

00:27 about certain things, arm talent, the crisp route running, those type of things.

00:32 You know, catching the ball, that's the least of it.

00:35 Catching the ball, running the ball, doing whatever, that's the least of it.

00:38 It's the details about it that you like to see translate over from practice to game.

00:43 I mean I know you guys are like one week at a time, you've been good at this, but do you

00:47 just like poke at the standings and say, "Hey, it's wide open, let's just focus on this week"?

00:52 Yeah, and that's kind of what you've got to do.

00:54 I mean, you can look at it, honestly I couldn't tell you who we play from week to week.

01:00 I'm like that person, I look literally one week at a time.

01:03 But if you're looking at the standings and you're focusing on, "All right, we just go

01:07 out here and win this one game," and that slowly starts to change, I think you're about

01:10 in the right way.

01:11 I'm not one of those people that believe that you can't watch for the future.

01:14 But I don't think that you can look at the future and then lose sight of what the present

01:18 is.

01:19 I think that's the biggest thing.

01:21 If you look at the future, you should start planning and working in the present to plan

01:26 for a better future.
