I think we got to be honest for a minute.
You and Luke and Jonathan Stewart coaching a middle school football team.
What is that like for the other teams that we're competing against here?
I coach my son's middle school team here in Charlotte.
It's me and my dad who was my high school coach, Luke Keely, Jonathan Stewart, Todd Blackledge, former quarterback, uh, Penn State.
Last year, Tom was nice enough to film, a selfie video to get the kids before we kicked off the season like a hey man, let's go.
You've put the work.
When I surprised the kids.
And put that on in the classroom before we took the field.
It was like, uh, you know, like in Braveheart when like he gives that big speech and then like everyone just runs across the battlefield and like takes axes in the face.
We could have run the kids out of the room when they saw your face on the TV delivering that message.
I wish we like turned the camera around and film them, cause it was a special moment.
So again, thank you for that.
That's just a small clip of a big thing.
Youth Inc officially launches Tuesday.
August 12th content and commerce platform built for you, sports families, coaches and teams.
The great Greg Olson you just saw there joining us now talking about that.
Lot to get into you with her brother, but I've talked to you about this before.
I see that clip of you talking to Tom, and we all know that you were in that spot and we know how much you want to be that number one.
How weird is it for you to be talking to somebody where you guys both have similar career trajectories and roles that you're looking for in broadcasting?
You know, it's really not weird at all.
You know, Tom and I have gotten to know each other over the last 12 or so months and have actually gotten to have a really nice personal relationship.
Um, you know, we knew each other as players, but, you know, just on the field before and after games saying hello.
But it wasn't really until Tom, uh, joined Fox that we really got to know each other.
They're more on a personal level.
And I've just really enjoyed being around them, spending some time with them.
I was out at the Fox seminar earlier this week out in California and got to hang and, uh, and catch up.
So, you know, it's not weird at all.
I'm just appreciative, but a guy like him takes time to come speak to our audience about maybe something that you know, everyone's always asking him about, you know, NFL and winning Super Bowls and all that.
I want to ask him what it was like growing up with sisters.
I want to know what it was like driving home after a bad game with his dad and what it was like dealing with adversity and failure.
What has made Tom Brady what we know?
Give us a little sense.
What are those lessons that we can pay to our younger, uh, our younger athletes and to our children.
And that's really what you think is finding these really interesting people that have really great, um, journeys in the sports world.
But how do we pull out some nuggets that pertain to the youth sports journey and, and the age-appropriate stuff.
So, um, Tom's our kickoff.
We have Malcolm Gladwell and Ryan Day, CJ Stroud, um, author James Clear, the author.
I mean, we got some really cool guests coming down the line what you think, and, uh, we're really excited about it.
