00:00 But I've worked hard to get here today with the help of that.
00:05 >> At what point after the injury did you think you'd have a chance to get back
00:08 to the gym?
00:08 >> Probably midway through,
00:12 cuz I believe it was supposed to be a season injury.
00:16 And they took good care of me and we worked hard each and every day.
00:20 I made my mindset that I'm gonna work hard each and
00:22 every day to try to get back to the gym.
00:23 Cuz last year was tough, I'm gonna go out with the injury as well and
00:28 have a surgery right on the second game.
00:30 So I just attacked it and made sure I was able to do my best as well as I can inside
00:36 the training room so I can get back on the field.
00:39 >> How about your mentally about the injury?
00:42 >> That was a tough part.
00:43 Yeah, mentally was a tough part, but each and every day I come in and
00:47 the training staff was very, very encouraging.
00:50 My teammates were very encouraging.
00:52 And so me coming in and practice and watching practice,
00:54 watching the games made it a lot better.
00:56 Cuz the first part of when I first had my surgery, I was at home,
00:59 sitting on the couch, that's probably the most mental part that was pretty tough.
01:03 >> You've been out like three months or whatever.
01:06 I mean, how's the conditioning?
01:07 I mean, do you feel like you'd be able to go out and
01:08 give any kind of reps on Monday?
01:11 >> My condition is very good.
01:13 I mean, I've been working with Nando.
01:14 Me and him been going each and every day, doing the vertical climber and
01:19 doing all the running.
01:19 But that's conditioning in the weight room, but
01:25 on the field is a different story.
01:26 But I don't know what's going on this week with me, so
01:30 I'm just taking it day by day.
