Come and experience the ecosystem they’ve dropped themselves into, it’s incredibly powerful because of the people that are coming, the people you have access to, and the athletes you have access to. It’s not just an environment of opportunity, it’s incredibly positive. If you came and experienced that ecosystem, you’d find those two major pillars: access, and a really positive environment.
