Can you talk a little bit about that? Mental resilience, discipline versus motivation.
I've been fortunate to work with professional athletes in every major sport at the highest level, and I'm going to give you two sides of a blade here. The reality of it is the folks we have dealt with who have done those really long, lengthy careers, had these billion dollars in revenue. The good side of the equation is they have such unbelievable drive. It's not always win. Sometimes they're not super competitive, but they're obsessed about something. The hard part about that is they have what we call post Olympics depression. We've had people spend five or six or seven years doing nothing else in their life. They don't go to conferences. They don't go on vacations. And then they win the Siam. And you know what happens the moment they're announced as Cy Young winner? Nothing.
