00:00I think there are a number of factors of comfort and validation, and yeah, I'm one of the first people to go to school because of the size of the opportunity that I have.

00:17Can you give us a statement on how motivated you were to go to school?

00:31I think this is what I'm talking about.

00:34I hope that in the future, I'll be able to play well, and hopefully, I'll be able to get a job in the future.

00:40But yeah, I'm motivated.

00:42I always think about them every time.

00:45Every afternoon, I check on them to see if they're doing well.

00:50Even though I'm busy, I have a lot of training and games, so I don't have time to think about them.

00:58How do you recuperate from all the stress?

01:07I think my number one credit is my coach.

01:12He knows how much load I put on my body.

01:17It's a factor that everyone knows how to recover.

01:21I believe in the system that my coach set up for me.

01:25If I don't have time, I'll just go home and rest.

01:33To set the record straight, Coach Topex mentioned earlier that you have a league debut.

01:41To set the record straight, did you have a league debut?

01:45I just did it for my family.

01:47But it's not that big of a deal.

01:51Never, never.

01:53I'm not saying that it's that big of a deal.

01:56It's just a load that I put on my body.

02:00They're close to me.

02:01They've been playing for a long time.

02:02They're close to me.

02:03So, since I was a kid, they took care of me.

02:08I was their coach.

02:09That's it.

02:10Kev, how do you block out the noise?

02:12Because every move you make has a lot of criticism.

02:17We can't control what they might say.

02:21I just control what I can do.

02:24It's just like a keyboard warrior.

02:28I can't do anything.

02:29I can't learn anything.

02:30But I can see their comments.

02:34It motivates me to keep going.

02:37I don't want to strike anymore.

02:39I just follow their orders.

02:43What are your orders?

02:45I follow all of their orders.

02:48I follow our punishment.

02:50I follow all of Topex's orders.

02:51I follow all of the coach's orders.

02:52They tell me to take care of myself.

02:56Because I'm the number one in the team.

02:58Use your judgment.

02:59Whatever you want to do in life, just do it.

03:03The team is responsible for what you do.

03:07Good. Thank you.
