00:00And action.

00:28There it is, perfect.

00:35Let's come over here.

00:58So, medically there's no concern at all, and as my own personal worries, I'm way past

01:19that.

01:26So, training with the monks was an incredible experience.

01:44First of all, the culture shock of just being in China, even before reaching the temple,

01:51it's so interesting and very surprising.

01:56I really loved it, and the training with the monks itself in the temple, incredible experience,

02:03very much out of my comfort zone, you know.

02:06Yeah, of course.

02:07I mean, it's life-changing.

02:10I mean, spending so much time in hospitals and around doctors and hearing more bad news

02:18than I wish I heard.

02:20Of course, as I said, it's traumatic, but in the long run I think it's going to be very

02:26beneficial, because even though I don't wish it on nobody, it makes you understand lessons

02:31that nothing else could have made you understand.

02:33I'm so much more under control, and my conditioning has gotten so much better.

02:38But that comes at a price, you know.

02:41And what I've done this summer, it's work-class.

02:45I mean, even in the field of professional sports, I don't think many people have trained

02:51the way we've trained this summer.

02:53For me, there's a difference between playing in feeling well and being tired.

03:00And on my first half season, which is normal, it's the case of all rookies,

03:03but it's hard to maintain the rhythm on 82 matches.

03:08And honestly, I think that my body is ready today.

03:11It's where I realize that maybe my body wasn't ready before, in fact.

03:15And that I feel so good on the ground today that it's...

03:20It's a lot of pain. It's a lot of pain. It's a lot of pain.

03:23It's a lot of pain. It's a lot of pain. It's a lot of pain.

03:26It's a lot of pain. It's a lot of pain.

03:30He is so intentional on the variety of ways that he tries to improve as a player and a person.

03:35It's really something I've never witnessed or experienced in my time.

03:39It's quite curious. It's quite constantly trying to push himself out of his comfort zone

03:47and learn new things.

03:50Are you OK?

03:52If you had any fun time withămâ Direc cast,

03:54some of the dramatic things you would feel like doing which is more important.
