00:00What do you think Coach Riley learned from you guys?

00:07A lot.

00:11I'll start, Shane.

00:14I'll start for what your question was first.

00:16I think my moment, I think everybody probably know me hopping on one leg now.

00:21Yeah.

00:22I would say that moment, though, it's not just because of it being big or whatever,

00:26but just because of it wasn't for fame or not.

00:29I just genuinely wanted to win that game.

00:32I was doing that in practice, helping and yelling and different stuff like that

00:36to get the team right as a sophomore in practice.

00:40I would say Coach Riley helped me so much this year, more than any other year,

00:45because we had so many solo talks, one-on-one,

00:48but more than anything of what it truly is to be a leader.

00:52He gave me a book, The Inner Excellence.

00:54You probably don't even know how I read it.

00:55I know you did.

00:57Yeah, the book was so great of more than being a leader is understanding.

01:01You got to preach what you say and do what you preach.

01:05And then more than anything, sometimes you don't need to talk.

01:07You just need to do.

01:08I feel like a lot of times with this team, we talked and did it more than any other year.

01:14So I don't know.

01:15I just feel like a lot of stuff off the field translate to being on the field.

01:18You got your stuff right off the field, you're going to be even better on the field.
