>> Being with the players.
I love running with them.
I go on campus runs with them.
It's a beautiful campus so some days we'll just go for a nice easy run
through downtown and through the campus.
And just, I talk to them about some of my playing days
or some of my memories being a Penn Stater and listen to their memories and things like that.
I think interacting with the players is my favorite part of being a coach.
The hardest part of being a coach is trying
to make every player feel how much you care for them.
I think sometimes the players, they focus on their playing time.
And it's not always going to be that way.
And I think, it's hard when you see a player that gets hurt, you know.
Or they're hurting emotionally or they're hurting physically.
So I think that's the hardest part for me is just to try to get them to continue to believe
in themselves and to keep pressing forward and understand that they've got a lot of support
around them including myself and we're going to help them get through these hard times.
And I think it's a hard thing for me but it also makes me realize what a special place this is
and a special opportunity I have to help these people.
