All right, cool. Take two, I guess. So, kev, what's up, man? How we doing? Doing good, man. On this rainy day. It's crazy. I mean, let's really get into it. Last, last week was player expectations.What that looks like in terms of how player can manage their, you know, their career cycle from a youth player all the way up to high school, potentially college.And now we want to roll into skill development.You know, the skills landscape, as we've talked about privately, has definitely been drastic through times.You see people, a lot of skill, no skill.How do you know, really walk our audience into, like, how does one acquire skill?What do you see in skill development that's missing in terms of training or it's mindset? And I know I got a couple of other series of questions I want to get your opinion on, but you could take the lead from here.Yeah.The first thing I want to discuss is about skill development and where we're at, you know, in the United States as far as, like, the skill acquirement.And I think we're at a crossroads.I think we're, you know, you have people that do it the right way of teaching kids, and then you have kids that you have trainers that do it the wrong way.And I think now more than ever, there needs not, that needs to be, like, one way of doing things, but there's a certain set of skills that everyone should have, I believe, and that comes down to what they're getting taught, what they're looking at online, because now we live in a digital world where now people are looking at their phones to get training advice, and now everyone, I'm not on social media a lot, but when I am on social media, it seems like a lot of guys have a lot of different opinions on the way they should be training.And it's everyone, to me, like, you don't have to be, to me, you don't have to be a player to teach someone.Right? But you do have to be knowledgeable about what you're teaching kids, because nowadays a kid looks online and they think, you know things about basketball that sometimes, clearly that person doesn't know the ins and out and what's going to work in a game and what's not going to work in a game.So I think as far as, like, skill development, it's at a crossroads.Like, if I'm a kid nowadays, what do I believe online is going to help me? Because there's so much stuff online that kids are looking at that I think it's confusing. Yeah. Like, with many things. I believe the term is like information overload. You don't know where to go, who to listen to.There's so much information out there that you almost don't know where to start. Should I work on combination moves? Should I work on finishing? How good should my handle be before I start practicing in game? Whatever. Right? You see all these different things on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube.But you mentioned earlier that you believe there's a good foundational core skills that you think players should have.What do you think those skills are?When do you think they should start building on those skills and really just talk about that dynamic? Yeah, I think the basic fundamental skills that everyone should have is, you know, your basic rip, left, right, your basic counter off of the rip.Okay, maybe fake to the left, go to, go to the right, and vice versa.Fake to the right, go to the left.I think those are simple enough skills in which they still work at an elite level.And I think these kids are not getting taught that. These kids are not getting taught triple threat yet.So many kids are good with the ball, but if you take them outside of taking away their strength with this, dribbling the ball and you say be, get it off of a triple threat, they don't know how to do it.First of all, they don't know they're left from the right. All right? A lot.I know a lot of kids, especially some of the kids that I've trained in the past, like, I got to teach them basic footwork, how to move, how to move your defender where you want them so you can blow by them.Right? And that's. That's about just basic footwork of moving your feet to where you want to beat your opponent.People don't know that because all you see online is dribble, dribble, dribble.And when you look at it on tv, when you look at it on tv, you see ...
