I'm home every night for dinner when I'm in town. I'm there as much as I can when I have time off. And and I'm lucky enough to play for a head coach, Sean, that understands that, and gives me the opportunity to be around them as much as I can. And I frankly wouldn't still be playing this game if that wasn't the case.
