Uh so then as you're trying to implement all then as you're trying to implement all then as you're trying to implement all this with coaches, right? What is your this with coaches, right? What is your this with coaches, right? What is your biggest challenge? Uh do you get push biggest challenge? Uh do you get push biggest challenge? Uh do you get push back? Do you get I'll do it my way or back? Do you get I'll do it my way or back? Do you get I'll do it my way or I've been doing this for 50 years. I I've been doing this for 50 years. I I've been doing this for 50 years. I >> So yeah, great question. Uh I think that >> So yeah, great question. Uh I think that >> So yeah, great question. Uh I think that one of the biggest things was we were in one of the biggest things was we were in one of the biggest things was we were in a position where the whole thing was, a position where the whole thing was, a position where the whole thing was, you know, pretty much at the bottom. you know, pretty much at the bottom. you know, pretty much at the bottom. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So when we got there, it was able to to >> So when we got there, it was able to to >> So when we got there, it was able to to say, "Okay, we've kind of got a blank say, "Okay, we've kind of got a blank say, "Okay, we've kind of got a blank canvas once we get the field once we got canvas once we get the field once we got canvas once we get the field once we got grass back on the fields and and and grass back on the fields and and and grass back on the fields and and and then once we fix this, you know, some of then once we fix this, you know, some of then once we fix this, you know, some of the the the internal, you know, financing structure internal, you know, financing structure internal, you know, financing structure and all that, we can kind of push this and all that, we can kind of push this and all that, we can kind of push this thing where we want it to go. And so thing where we want it to go. And so thing where we want it to go. And so then it's figuring out what's most then it's figuring out what's most then it's figuring out what's most important. Well, the foundation of any important. Well, the foundation of any important. Well, the foundation of any club is going to be in its youth and club is going to be in its youth and club is going to be in its youth and development. And so figuring out that development.
