less likely to get injured, better performance, but also better like focus. Like you step on court and you feel you can concentrate on what you're, you're going to do. And it doesn't need to be long. I think people in their mind, they think I need to be there half an hour before and I've got some massive warm-up routine. I think it can literally be 5 minutes before you go on. And actually, in our Faster Feet for Paddle footwork course, we have a 5-minute follow-along warm-up, and that's what you and I do. We probably extend it a bit. We do a bit of agility, bit of other, other things around it. But 5 minutes there, not only for your body to mobilization, to, to get activate some of your muscles, but, but also just to get yourself in a routine. I think that's the most important thing, is a routine before you start.
