Stay where your feet are at, you know, keep your mind where your feet are. You can't, you know, look behind you, and you can't look ahead of you because then you start thinking about different things. You're starting to play GM in your head, and now your thoughts are just all over the place, and you're worried about this guy or that guy, and now you're worrying about your performance, like, well, I didn't do good. Am I going to get sent down? Or I had a good game. Am I going to get called up? So I think learning that, like, just to let that all go. Play where you are, have fun where you are, make it the best, you know, enjoy the clubhouse. Create the camaraderie in the clubhouse with the guys. Because when you look back, I think when you're done playing, that's gonna be the best part, is being with your teammates, playing, having fun on the field. And I think in turn, that just helps you win. Honestly, I think it makes the game fun, and you can go out there and let your talents play. So I think that's one of the biggest things was just being where I was, engulfing myself in that atmosphere and that city and, you know, having fun.
