00:00 And then how do you think he did last year at leading the team?
00:02 >> Everybody, there's not a book that is written on this is how you lead, right?
00:06 People lead in different ways.
00:09 And one thing I learned early about in leadership is that you have to be
00:14 yourself, and because if you lead and you're trying to be somebody you're not,
00:20 when you lead, then that gets seen through.
00:23 I mean, that's the same scenario I was put in when I became the head coach or
00:27 an offensive coordinator, whatever it was.
00:30 And everybody has to lead their way.
00:32 And Jalen has special qualities that people will follow and
00:37 people will wanna follow.
00:38 And he's gotta do what he needs to do to lead in that way.
00:42 And so some people's leadership style is loud and aggressive.
00:46 Some people's leadership styles by example and some is a mixture of both.
00:51 And so Jalen needs to lead how he needs to lead, right?
00:54 And AJ needs to lead how he needs to lead.
00:56 And whoever it is, Slay's gotta lead how he needs to lead.
01:01 And because that's leadership, right?
01:04 Is being who you are and leading an example.
01:08 At the end of the day, if you're leading by example,
01:10 that's a great style of leadership.
01:12 So Jalen needs to lead how he needs to lead, and
01:16 I think he's done a great job of doing so.
01:20 And he'll get, just like he has done in other things,
01:23 he'll get better at that part of his game.
01:25 And he'll get better just because I know that he'll continue to work on getting
01:29 better at no matter what part of the game he needs to work.
