00;00;16;04 - 00;00;17;12
Now how does.

00;00;17;12 - 00;00;22;17
So Minecraft is a pretty low lift
as far as equipment is concerned.

00;00;22;18 - 00;00;23;07
Right.

00;00;23;07 - 00;00;27;07
But how is the support from Minecraft Edu
and from Microsoft?

00;00;27;07 - 00;00;30;21
Is there a are there
like at the national international level?

00;00;30;21 - 00;00;33;21
Are there you know, do they have what
kind of skin do they have in the game?

00;00;34;00 - 00;00;36;15
They are all in.
And that's what I love about it.

00;00;36;15 - 00;00;39;09
You know, teacher
gaming was made by teachers

00;00;39;09 - 00;00;42;06
and when they got from Mojang,
they got the rights to do it.

00;00;42;06 - 00;00;44;13
They were given free
rein to do a whole bunch of stuff.

00;00;44;13 - 00;00;48;06
And then Microsoft bought Minecraft
and Mojang out and they said,

00;00;48;06 - 00;00;50;00
Well, teacher,
you, we're going to take that part.

00;00;50;00 - 00;00;51;20
You know, we're taking from you.

00;00;51;20 - 00;00;52;25
And that's kind of just to that

00;00;52;25 - 00;00;56;05
because there's a lot of cool features
that teacher Edu had, right?

00;00;57;04 - 00;00;59;09
But when they took
it out and they redesigned and everything

00;00;59;09 - 00;01;02;21
and they literally made
this Minecraft edu version

00;01;02;28 - 00;01;06;12
and it kept a lot of the functionality
that teacher Edu had in there.

00;01;06;12 - 00;01;08;19
Like teachers can go in and put stuff
in their inventory.

00;01;08;26 - 00;01;09;08
You know,

00;01;09;08 - 00;01;09;29
there are things

00;01;09;29 - 00;01;13;14
that you can't do in the normal game
that are still in the Minecraft edu.

00;01;13;14 - 00;01;17;03
And there's the nice part is like teacher
gaming always had to

00;01;17;20 - 00;01;21;01
mod whatever Mojang came out with,
you know, when they came on release.

00;01;21;01 - 00;01;23;25
Well, we get go fix everything in our game
because now they made this

00;01;24;01 - 00;01;27;27
well Minecraft as soon as they come out
with something it's live in Minecraft

00;01;27;27 - 00;01;30;13
edu you so you're just right there
and things that

00;01;31;03 - 00;01;33;13
don't we don't want in minecraft
who do they take out.

00;01;33;19 - 00;01;33;28
Right.

00;01;33;28 - 00;01;36;19
Like there's some things that we don't
have guns We don't have the the right.

00;01;36;25 - 00;01;39;29
Those mods that come in, they're like,
Nope, that's all stripped out.

00;01;39;29 - 00;01;42;22
It's kind of,
but it's designed for education.

00;01;42;26 - 00;01;44;01
And the Nice Party

00;01;44;01 - 00;01;47;20
is one of the things I love about teaching
Edu was they had a world server

00;01;47;27 - 00;01;50;17
so that you could go out
and people would design worlds

00;01;50;17 - 00;01;53;19
and you grab that and download it
and put it on your server.

00;01;53;19 - 00;01;55;10
So you had a pre-built world. Right.

00;01;55;10 - 00;01;57;03
My daughter had one of those where it was.

00;01;57;03 - 00;01;59;27
They had just started going into caves,
going underground, and

00;02;00;13 - 00;02;03;26
that was just
she got lost in that for a long time.

00;02;03;27 - 00;02;04;14
Yeah.

00;02;04;14 - 00;02;07;21
And so that so my and Microsoft
continued that.

00;02;07;21 - 00;02;10;23
So you when you go in Minecraft, you
there are these pre-built worlds

00;02;11;00 - 00;02;13;25
with pre-built challenges
with pre-built stuff that you can

00;02;14;00 - 00;02;15;00
you just step in in

00;02;15;00 - 00;02;17;18
like you go up and talk to a person,
that person gives you a job and duty

00;02;17;18 - 00;02;19;26
and like there's all this stuff
that's already been pre-built.

00;02;20;07 - 00;02;22;13
And that's the cool part
because on the back end

00;02;22;13 - 00;02;25;27
when you get to a certain level,
you can submit your designs, right?

00;02;25;27 - 00;02;28;16
You know,
and that was another really cool idea too.

00;02;28;17 - 00;02;32;16
So then how does how did the the
how would e-sports in Minecraft work?

00;02;32;26 - 00;02;36;29
So again, like I said, it's kind of it
blends in that you can come into this

00;02;36;29 - 00;02;38;08
because it's competitive.

00;02;38;08 - 00;02;40;28
I remember my daughter going, Dad,
is this really an e-sport sport?

00;02;40;28 - 00;02;42;26
And I said, Yeah,
because you're using technology

00;02;42;26 - 00;02;44;29
and you're competing
with other school districts.

00;02;44;29 - 00;02;49;02
You know,
like I said, right now, as far as I know,

00;02;49;02 - 00;02;52;19
no school in the United States has won
one of these challenges.

00;02;52;19 - 00;02;54;15
It's all been schools
outside of the United States

00;02;54;15 - 00;02;56;13
because this is
an international challenge.

00;02;56;13 - 00;02;59;24
You know, farm craft,
I believe when I came here,

00;02;59;24 - 00;03;01;22
there was a school,
I almost think it was Cambodia,

00;03;01;22 - 00;03;03;25
like there was a school in Cambodia
that won last year.

00;03;03;26 - 00;03;06;11
Like, it's not just us.

00;03;06;11 - 00;03;10;01
We're competing against everybody
in the world against these challenges.

00;03;10;07 - 00;03;11;20
And it's kind of cool challenges.

00;03;11;20 - 00;03;13;00
You know,
like when you look at the farm craft,

00;03;13;00 - 00;03;15;29
you have to build an is biome
that is randomly given to you

00;03;15;29 - 00;03;16;17
and then you get figure out

00;03;16;17 - 00;03;19;09
what plants will survive in that biome,
what pests,

00;03;19;09 - 00;03;21;09
because you have to keep the pest away
from your plants

00;03;21;09 - 00;03;22;22
and then you have to harvest.

00;03;22;22 - 00;03;24;16
And how many bushels did you get?

00;03;24;16 - 00;03;26;01
You know,
and that's really the challenge is

00;03;26;01 - 00;03;29;10
how to do that and learning
while you're completing that challenge.

00;03;29;23 - 00;03;33;26
The other one of course, for me,
stem side loving this is how do you make a

00;03;35;02 - 00;03;36;06
solar car?

00;03;36;06 - 00;03;38;17
You know, because you know
there's a whole lot goes into

00;03;38;17 - 00;03;42;16
that is what your tires are made
out of what your your wheels

00;03;42;25 - 00;03;46;10
you know because you want go light
but you want to have some strength.

00;03;46;10 - 00;03;48;12
You know, what kind of bearings
are you putting in there?

00;03;48;12 - 00;03;49;07
What kind of energy?

00;03;49;07 - 00;03;51;18
Because if you put the batteries
in, then you're putting weight on there

00;03;51;18 - 00;03;54;08
and you like like thinking
about all the different pieces,

00;03;54;08 - 00;03;56;16
the weight distribution and stuff
that you have to do

00;03;56;21 - 00;03;58;28
to make your solar car
to be the fastest one.

00;03;58;28 - 00;04;01;17
And really, when it comes down
to the solar car competition,

00;04;01;18 - 00;04;03;26
the real one, isn't
that what they're doing? Like

00;04;05;01 - 00;04;07;12
make a model
that works for actually very Yeah, Yeah.

00;04;07;12 - 00;04;08;22
It's not virtual. Yeah.

00;04;08;22 - 00;04;10;01
So I think that's awesome

00;04;10;01 - 00;04;12;05
that our kids have that opportunity
to go in there and do that.

00;04;12;25 - 00;04;14;05
Now that starts in the spring.

00;04;14;05 - 00;04;15;13
Is that what you said? Yeah.

00;04;15;13 - 00;04;17;27
So they have right now they're doing one

00;04;17;27 - 00;04;21;02
massive If you go look at Native
they have firm craft right now

00;04;21;08 - 00;04;25;03
and this fall one is challenging
the people who created firm craft.

00;04;25;14 - 00;04;28;15
They want you to go up against them
and see if you can beat the creators.

00;04;28;25 - 00;04;31;16
And so it's it's
kind of a great time to get in

00;04;31;16 - 00;04;32;29
because it's just kind of a fun challenge.

00;04;32;29 - 00;04;33;26
It's not the

00;04;33;26 - 00;04;35;14
the big one
that'll be happening in the spring,

00;04;35;14 - 00;04;39;03
but it gives you a time to dip your toe in
and say, Hey, are we interested in this?

00;04;39;03 - 00;04;40;27
Do we like to do this?

00;04;40;27 - 00;04;42;13
So I think that's a great way to get in.

00;04;42;13 - 00;04;44;07
And the thing is,
like my daughters right now

00;04;44;07 - 00;04;46;18
who are playing it
and the girls are playing with them,

00;04;47;02 - 00;04;48;15
they're just getting used to it, you know?

00;04;48;15 - 00;04;49;00
I mean,

00;04;49;00 - 00;04;51;11
and they do
they kind of want to feel it out

00;04;51;11 - 00;04;53;25
so that they know
what is the competition require?

00;04;53;26 - 00;04;55;28
Like how do we submit what?

00;04;55;28 - 00;04;58;20
When do we get the challenge? You know,
how does this work?

00;04;58;20 - 00;05;03;15
And it kind of goes back into the robotics
challenges that we've had where well,

00;05;03;15 - 00;05;07;09
and I think
I'm glad to see that there are other

00;05;08;24 - 00;05;11;04
programs and games and challenges
like Minecraft

00;05;11;04 - 00;05;14;00
that are starting to kind of be accepted
because I know it was, you know,

00;05;14;00 - 00;05;16;11
everything has a stigma
and you have to be really careful with it.

00;05;16;11 - 00;05;20;13
In E-Sports is no different,
and it was pretty toxic

00;05;20;13 - 00;05;23;23
in the beginning with
it was just Fortnite and Overwatch

00;05;23;23 - 00;05;26;15
and there was more trash talk
than there was game play.

00;05;26;15 - 00;05;31;09
And it was it was pretty frustrating for
I know a lot of kids that

00;05;31;09 - 00;05;34;01
just that's just not who they are.
That's not how they are.

00;05;34;01 - 00;05;36;00
You know,
they may they may be really good at it

00;05;36;00 - 00;05;37;08
and they may be able to just come in

00;05;37;08 - 00;05;41;07
and, you know, wipe the board clean,
but they don't want that part of it.

00;05;41;12 - 00;05;41;28
You know,

00;05;41;28 - 00;05;44;23
they're not interested in the trash talk
because it's just that's just not

00;05;44;23 - 00;05;45;25
what they do. Right.

00;05;46;29 - 00;05;48;12
And it's nice to see that

00;05;48;12 - 00;05;50;10
that has kind of been minimized
a little bit,

00;05;50;10 - 00;05;52;04
even though
there's still some of it out there.

00;05;52;04 - 00;05;56;09
But then there's just some of these games
that it's it's

00;05;56;09 - 00;06;00;13
just not baked into the game to
to to do that kind of stuff

00;06;00;13 - 00;06;03;23
where it just doesn't make any sense
to trash talk.

00;06;04;01 - 00;06;05;23
You're farm, right.

00;06;05;23 - 00;06;08;09
You know I mean versus like,
you know, you go into Overwatch

00;06;08;09 - 00;06;10;27
or go into Fortnite
and that's all a part of it, right?

00;06;10;29 - 00;06;11;28
You know, Right.

00;06;11;28 - 00;06;14;08
I will eat your soul,
those kinds of things.

00;06;14;08 - 00;06;19;03
And, you know, from MOSEF’s standpoint,
we really have put a squash on that,

00;06;19;03 - 00;06;22;05
you know, And the thing is,
we were talking about that

00;06;22;09 - 00;06;26;08
at the conference this year about it's
hard for us to know

00;06;26;22 - 00;06;28;17
what is the latest trash talk.

00;06;28;17 - 00;06;30;29
You know,
I mean, yeah, I said it was so interesting

00;06;30;29 - 00;06;35;01
because I had this this experience
where we were really beating another team

00;06;35;16 - 00;06;39;19
and and this was in Valorant
and one of the the students was literally

00;06;39;19 - 00;06;43;23
going to the other person's respawn
and tagging the other person's respawn.

00;06;43;28 - 00;06;44;10
Well,

00;06;45;12 - 00;06;47;11
that was kind of a form of trash talking

00;06;47;11 - 00;06;49;23
because what they were literally saying
is we're so much better than you.

00;06;49;23 - 00;06;52;26
We can only put four players
going towards the end.

00;06;52;26 - 00;06;54;28
The other person's going to go
because when

00;06;54;28 - 00;06;57;20
you go back, you're going to see that
we tagged your whole respawn

00;06;58;01 - 00;07;01;14
and we had to tell the player, you know,
that's not appropriate, let's not do that.

00;07;01;14 - 00;07;05;03
And like but again, not having a clue
that we knew that that was going on

00;07;05;08 - 00;07;09;16
or like one of the teachers that was there
said, Yeah, or like you put up a tag

00;07;09;16 - 00;07;11;10
and then somebody put the tag over
the top of your tag,

00;07;11;10 - 00;07;14;18
you know, that is kind of
another form of trash talking.

00;07;14;25 - 00;07;17;16
And so, like, we're not able to keep up
with what they're doing,

00;07;17;17 - 00;07;20;01
you know what I mean?
They're going to find ways that that way.

00;07;20;02 - 00;07;23;01
Everybody knows that
when you did that thing, that was a

00;07;23;07 - 00;07;26;10
that was a trash talk, you know,
And usually kids will tell us, you know,

00;07;26;10 - 00;07;29;07
you see what you just did or like,
Yeah, I just thought that was a move.

00;07;29;07 - 00;07;33;19
No, that was a yeah, he was he was just
yeah, he's dissing me, you know.

00;07;33;19 - 00;07;35;20
And so I think that will
you'll always have to. Yeah.

00;07;35;22 - 00;07;37;04
And it was funny we were talking

00;07;37;04 - 00;07;40;00
know some people in our coaches
who have come into the field

00;07;40;00 - 00;07;42;09
and they're like,
have you ever been at a basketball game?

00;07;42;09 - 00;07;44;08
Have you ever been at a football game?

00;07;44;08 - 00;07;48;14
You know, you're it's not mic’ed up,
but there's a lot of trash talking

00;07;48;14 - 00;07;50;02
that goes
on. That's just a part of sports.

00;07;50;02 - 00;07;53;22
You know, we probably don't want to do it
because our art is more visual.

00;07;53;22 - 00;07;56;16
Like,
you can literally see everybody's watching

00;07;56;16 - 00;07;58;04
and they can see that
where you're not going to hear that

00;07;58;04 - 00;08;00;03
trash talking
that's happening on the football field

00;08;00;03 - 00;08;02;09
or on the basketball court
or in volleyball, like

00;08;02;19 - 00;08;04;27
there's all that going on.
But it is a part of sports.

00;08;04;27 - 00;08;08;21
We kind of if you're really into it,
you're in adrenaline's going to be going

00;08;08;21 - 00;08;11;29
and, you know, and then we wouldn't have
that was a static moments too.

00;08;11;29 - 00;08;14;15
When we win and we jump up
and we're dancing all around the room

00;08;14;15 - 00;08;17;18
because we just beat somebody
virtually something, you know?

00;08;18;17 - 00;08;20;02
Yeah, it is a

00;08;20;02 - 00;08;23;22
it's a big mental
game is what we're really doing, you know,

00;08;24;13 - 00;08;27;06
And I think that's
what a lot of people don't understand

00;08;27;17 - 00;08;30;08
because you see interviews
and I thought it was funny.

00;08;30;08 - 00;08;33;17
Somebody was showing us that Saturday
Night Live skit where, you know,

00;08;33;17 - 00;08;36;19
after the words, they're they're,
you know, interviewing the person.

00;08;36;27 - 00;08;41;08
And I love that blank stare that they gave
because literally

00;08;41;08 - 00;08;45;17
when you just have sat for 45 minutes
or 2 hours,

00;08;46;13 - 00;08;50;10
you are mentally just the melted,
You know what I mean?

00;08;50;10 - 00;08;52;07
And they go, what did you do
and how did you do it?

00;08;52;07 - 00;08;57;10
And you're like, I am just trying to put,
you know, I can't even put words together

00;08;57;10 - 00;09;00;15
because I am so mentally drained
from what I just did.

00;09;00;15 - 00;09;04;00
Well, and there is, you know,
and listening to my son, who plays

00;09;04;06 - 00;09;08;07
different games, there is

00;09;08;09 - 00;09;11;12
there are definitely like there techniques
that one player will use

00;09;11;12 - 00;09;14;17
against another player, one player
type will use against another player type.

00;09;15;05 - 00;09;19;19
And a lot of those, you know, like,
you know, if you were playing football,

00;09;19;19 - 00;09;23;06
you would be in different defensive sets
and you know, maybe

00;09;23;06 - 00;09;25;27
you go man on this guy, but on this guy,
you're going to play his own

00;09;26;10 - 00;09;29;23
and that exact same world exists

00;09;30;02 - 00;09;33;11
virtually in a lot of the more advanced
games.

00;09;33;18 - 00;09;36;17
Absolutely. But it's what you're asking

00;09;37;20 - 00;09;38;17
is you're

00;09;38;17 - 00;09;42;13
asking a football player
to describe in detail

00;09;42;24 - 00;09;46;17
one play that happened
halfway through the second quarter

00;09;47;23 - 00;09;49;25
and they'd already been hit several times.

00;09;49;25 - 00;09;51;28
So things are getting fuzzy. Yeah.

00;09;51;28 - 00;09;54;10
You know,
and but it's it's even more than that

00;09;54;10 - 00;09;58;03
because a lot of it is it's just a
it's a button combination and...

00;09;58;03 - 00;09;59;21
it's instant reflex.

00;09;59;21 - 00;10;02;08
It's it that's it. Right.
So what do you I don't know, but it works.

00;10;02;20 - 00;10;03;27
You know, it's a gut.

00;10;03;27 - 00;10;04;15
Like what

00;10;04;15 - 00;10;06;08
some of the science is telling us
is that these guys

00;10;06;08 - 00;10;09;07
have these gut natural instincts,
that they just know what to do.

00;10;09;07 - 00;10;11;02
They know the buttons
to push at the right time

00;10;11;02 - 00;10;15;13
because their brain is computing
all this information so fast

00;10;15;14 - 00;10;19;01
that they just instinctively are reacting
to what's going on in the game.

00;10;19;11 - 00;10;22;07
And like what you said,
because like you said, more advanced games

00;10;23;07 - 00;10;24;06
coaches will tell you

00;10;24;06 - 00;10;26;19
half the battle is over
before we start the game.

00;10;27;05 - 00;10;30;20
Like because that picking process,
like when you're picking the two teams

00;10;30;20 - 00;10;34;19
and the two makeups of the teams,
that's that's their strap.

00;10;34;22 - 00;10;35;11
That's the strategy.

00;10;35;11 - 00;10;39;15
It really, like it really does come down
to that football team set up this way.

00;10;39;15 - 00;10;41;20
The offense is this way,
the defense is set up this way.

00;10;41;26 - 00;10;45;19
And we're looking for the weakness
now that we know that these two,

00;10;45;19 - 00;10;46;16
how they work together.

00;10;46;16 - 00;10;49;02
But we're looking for that one weakness
and maybe that one player

00;10;49;02 - 00;10;53;03
who can really shine in that moment
with this makeup.

00;10;53;12 - 00;10;56;26
And that's really what overall
watch League of Legends comes down

00;10;56;26 - 00;11;00;03
to when you're doing all that drafting
and going through

00;11;00;03 - 00;11;04;19
and picking out who's going to be playing
against the other player, because you can

00;11;04;25 - 00;11;08;10
do, you know, again, going back
to the randomization and everything,

00;11;09;00 - 00;11;11;09
no two matches are ever
the same. Right? Right.

00;11;11;09 - 00;11;12;27
You know, no two matches are the same.

00;11;12;27 - 00;11;14;13
You get there a second later

00;11;14;13 - 00;11;17;29
or 2 seconds earlier and it just changes
the whole dynamics of the game.

00;11;18;09 - 00;11;21;04
And so it's that randomness

00;11;21;04 - 00;11;24;20
that draws us to this and we want to see
how well is this person going to compete.

00;11;24;21 - 00;11;27;16
But, you know, I mean, watching sports, I

00;11;27;21 - 00;11;30;20
very much can see the gameplay where,

00;11;31;09 - 00;11;34;03
you know, relating
until like a basketball game where,

00;11;34;03 - 00;11;38;13
you know, okay, so you're under matched
as far as size is concerned.

00;11;38;13 - 00;11;42;03
So you're going to use speed to your
advantage and shoot from the outside more.

00;11;43;00 - 00;11;45;23
You've got a kid
that's bigger, but he’s slower,

00;11;45;23 - 00;11;49;00
but you're going to need a body later,
so you're going to throw them in

00;11;49;00 - 00;11;51;03
in the third quarter
when everybody's tired and let him

00;11;51;03 - 00;11;55;11
get in there and bang on them, you know,
And that's it's the same thing.

00;11;55;11 - 00;11;58;20
It's just done with creatures and critters

00;11;59;06 - 00;12;03;22
and it just takes a long time to
learn them and what their strengths are.

00;12;03;22 - 00;12;06;29
And it goes all the way back to the D
& D days and building

00;12;06;29 - 00;12;10;05
your character sheets, you know,
And I want this guy to be stronger.

00;12;10;05 - 00;12;11;08
I want this guy to be smarter.

00;12;11;08 - 00;12;14;15
I want this guy
to have more magical abilities and things.

00;12;14;15 - 00;12;15;27
And it's the exact same thing,

00;12;16;26 - 00;12;19;18
only it's happening

00;12;19;18 - 00;12;22;09
right in front of my 50 year old brain.

00;12;22;29 - 00;12;25;23
And it's it's a lot of flashy lights
and things blowing up.

00;12;25;23 - 00;12;28;00
And then somebody says, You win
or you lose either.

00;12;28;00 - 00;12;30;15
So I can not follow that part of it.

00;12;31;11 - 00;12;34;09
I could probably place the kids
where I wanted them as a coach,

00;12;35;05 - 00;12;38;22
but I think that's where
we have to rely on their ability,

00;12;38;22 - 00;12;42;22
just like we have to put
this wide receiver against that D back

00;12;42;22 - 00;12;47;03
because we know that D-backs fast,
but this kid's six inches taller, right?

00;12;47;05 - 00;12;51;12
And that's going to make a combination,
you know, And so there's I think

00;12;51;12 - 00;12;54;01
from the standpoint of a of a coach,

00;12;54;17 - 00;12;57;11
there is a skill that doesn't

00;12;57;11 - 00;13;02;09
involve mashing the buttons
right and understanding.

00;13;02;09 - 00;13;05;03
So you have to understand
the player dynamics.

00;13;05;03 - 00;13;10;10
You have to understand how a player is
made and what skills that player has.

00;13;10;10 - 00;13;12;20
But it's still going to be up
to team captains

00;13;13;17 - 00;13;16;23
to spread their players out
in the right format, in right order,

00;13;17;05 - 00;13;21;29
and the coaches are going to be helping,
you know, they're going to be the DMS,

00;13;21;29 - 00;13;24;05
they're going to be the ones helping
you pick up your players. Right.

00;13;24;07 - 00;13;24;27
And doing that.

00;13;24;27 - 00;13;27;14
So I remember Corey Lovelace really

00;13;27;14 - 00;13;30;08
early on when we first started this,
Oh, this is going to be so easy.

00;13;30;10 - 00;13;32;16
We just look and see how they're ranked

00;13;32;16 - 00;13;34;19
because, you know,
they have a global ranking.

00;13;34;19 - 00;13;37;23
So we'll pull the platinum players,
the gold players.

00;13;37;23 - 00;13;38;26
You know, the Silver Lake

00;13;38;26 - 00;13;40;25
will already have them all ranked,
you know,

00;13;40;25 - 00;13;42;25
and so we'll know who to put in the team
makeup.

00;13;43;01 - 00;13;46;11
And I remember Corey quickly
telling me that is not how this works,

00;13;46;22 - 00;13;50;13
because you can have a platinum player,
but they don't know how to call

00;13;50;22 - 00;13;53;11
or you got platinum player
that doesn't know how to combination

00;13;53;11 - 00;13;54;25
with the other four players.

00;13;54;25 - 00;13;56;22
Like they're really good on a 1 to 1.

00;13;56;22 - 00;13;59;28
But when you put them in that team combo,
they're not ready to play

00;13;59;28 - 00;14;00;24
in that team combo.

00;14;00;24 - 00;14;04;14
And so it is watching them play together
and figuring out

00;14;04;15 - 00;14;07;19
who can be the shot caller
who who has the strategy.

00;14;07;23 - 00;14;11;21
They may not be the best player
in the game, but they're they can see what

00;14;11;21 - 00;14;15;17
the other team is doing and the makeup
and who is playing what character.

00;14;15;22 - 00;14;19;04
And they spend that time at home
watching that other team play.

00;14;19;04 - 00;14;21;04
It's like watching footage.
I tell people all the time.

00;14;21;04 - 00;14;25;02
I feel like I am playing football
because I'm used to watching the team

00;14;25;02 - 00;14;25;25
footage of the other team.

00;14;25;25 - 00;14;29;03
We know who's strong and what place,
and you literally watch the other match

00;14;29;03 - 00;14;33;03
and see how they handle different combos
and different makeup of the team.

00;14;33;08 - 00;14;35;11
And then you set to try to offset that.

00;14;35;17 - 00;14;40;07
And that student who takes over that
role is doing it live, right?

00;14;40;07 - 00;14;40;11
You know,

00;14;40;11 - 00;14;44;22
I mean, like in the moment and in
the moment that student may realize, hey,

00;14;44;22 - 00;14;47;24
they knew they were weak in this point
and they have stepped it up.

00;14;48;05 - 00;14;51;01
And so now that strategy
that we had is not working.

00;14;51;01 - 00;14;54;06
And I've got a sidestep and I've got
to figure out how to go around that.

00;14;54;06 - 00;14;56;00
That's all very much like regular sports.

00;14;56;00 - 00;14;58;11
It's just like, you know, you're going
to make your adjustments at halftime.

00;14;59;01 - 00;15;00;02
You see what they do.

00;15;00;02 - 00;15;03;28
You have to, you know, make adjustments
to see if you can counter

00;15;03;28 - 00;15;05;07
what you think they're doing now.

00;15;05;07 - 00;15;06;29
But they may change again.

00;15;08;24 - 00;15;10;18
And it’s it’s almost like a chess game
that's going back and forth, too,

00;15;10;18 - 00;15;12;19
you know, And we've always said that
football is the same way.

00;15;12;19 - 00;15;14;14
Like it's
not just a bunch of guys on the field.

00;15;14;14 - 00;15;17;16
Grunting and pushing against each other
is a lot of strategy that's going on.

00;15;17;16 - 00;15;22;05
And so it's that's why I consider it
a sport, is that there are a lot

00;15;22;05 - 00;15;24;24
going on there and the physical drain
on these kids, you know,

00;15;25;27 - 00;15;28;03
like we tell them
they have to be physically exercise

00;15;28;03 - 00;15;31;06
like before
a match will like do a little run jog.

00;15;31;06 - 00;15;32;13
You got to get your heart rate going up.

00;15;32;13 - 00;15;34;12
You got to get ready to go.

00;15;34;12 - 00;15;36;05
I think a lot of people are like,
oh, what are they going to do?

00;15;36;05 - 00;15;36;21
Hurt their wrist?

00;15;36;21 - 00;15;39;04
Well... literally,
They can hurt their wrist.

00;15;39;04 - 00;15;40;20
Well, we've got kids that, like,

00;15;40;20 - 00;15;42;17
you know, are coming in and they're like,
hey, I'm having trouble.

00;15;42;17 - 00;15;44;09
I was like, Hey,
you need to do some exercise.

00;15;44;09 - 00;15;47;10
Like we have exercises that we do
because you can hurt yourself doing this.

00;15;47;10 - 00;15;48;10
And it sounds like really fun.

00;15;48;10 - 00;15;51;00
You're like, Oh, but yeah,
you don't want it.

00;15;51;00 - 00;15;52;06
You're like proper prostrate.

00;15;52;06 - 00;15;54;14
We were talking with our students about,
you know,

00;15;54;14 - 00;15;56;13
just sitting properly in the chair
and everything.

00;15;56;13 - 00;15;59;11
And I know it sounds weird,
but you can prove your,

00;15;59;21 - 00;16;01;20
your game improves you
the way you're doing

00;16;01;20 - 00;16;04;21
and you're really looking at the dynamic
of what your body is doing

00;16;04;21 - 00;16;05;19
while you're doing this

00;16;05;19 - 00;16;09;11
and making everything conducive
to make it reactive, you know,

00;16;10;06 - 00;16;12;18
so that there's
so many aspects of these sports

00;16;12;18 - 00;16;14;24
that we're just starting to learn
and find out about it.

00;16;14;25 - 00;16;16;06
And just so interesting.
