Well you know what we can all be a leader in no matter what our walk of life is how talented we are we can be a leader and lead people -- And now that's all we ask them do your best and be a leader of if their best was second or third that those finalists we didn't ever tell them to be the best I instead of some -- stated he was -- -- it's not actually your first thing I've found that it is actually your middle name is -- They amount to get thousands of kids are named Colton out because he has -- and yet it's his middle name this is a scandals -- half a.

How always come on -- on -- and -- and -- never -- about it right now -- coats you mind if IE I can tap into your -- coaching -- little bit before this is mean your son he's the prime of his career I'm way past it.

But -- and trying to adapt to his game knowing -- a soccer player coach what do you see here.

In terms that they cannot -- ahead we will we he was always thrown it we we hadn't thrown -- not yet -- but -- about me catching if you raise me much I have been a pro.

You had you had great capability that I -- the ability to go down for you have to cut down sell sell your body to get the ball it's what we live right so when I started your high school team he would absolutely make you very much for the project ideas that might be trouble.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Then in -- -- second sailors as an end and right now in the only thing I can do is listen to our player asks you know because -- that we can't have any involvement with our coaches.

Organization but this is like all the feedback we're getting right now as very positive and you know speaking of for our team and and our organization and and the players and I think what we're anxious to get this over with and -- back to where I hear you NBC not this week is that true.
