Sanders on behalf of Gatorade.

We'll get to that in just a second.

Former Colorado quarterback, future NFL quarterback.

How does that feel when you hear that?

Sanders was the first one I ever say that like in person like that's why.

But I'm thankful.

Let it sink in for a little bit yeah I I I just like how you said that like I, I, I think I need like a voice memo.

I think you need to send a voice memo of that and you know I'll have my people call your people.

We'll get that organized.

Yeah, no worries.

Alright, we're gonna play a game of what's in the tarot cards, so I'll lay out three cards for you.

You pick one that'll decide your destiny of just what question that I ask you.

So I'll lay these 3 out.

You go ahead and pick one.

Whichever one I like the middle.

I like the middle.

Let's go for the fine, go for the right one.

OK, fine.

The hiro fan.

Yeah, I was blushing the entire time.

This is the one that I actually wanted.

I just played you.

I'm just kidding.

This one is tradition.

So a lot of tradition obviously of success in your family.

Do you feel pressure to live up to the tradition and the success of your family, or is that more encouragement?

No, it it's more about my own standards for myself.

uh, that's what it is and know that, of course he, he laid a platform and he gave us what we needed to be successful and from then on we just had to make, make it happen.

So it's really I say self pressure rather than this family pressure.

What is the pressure that you put on yourself?

Well, it's not really pressure because overall I know what I'm dealing with.

I know everything I do.

It gotta be done to a different standard for it to be able to get the same type of respect vers you know others out there so that's why I was like I, I, I know I just gotta stay focused, stay consistent, do what I'm doing.

And then be legendary.

Tell us about Gatorade.

Gatorade is a brand I've been there with me from day one, when I was in Jackson and now in Colorado it always gave me, I say the competitive edge over everybody, and that's why you see the consistency year after year.

So that's why I'm thankful to have a partnership.

Um, in place with them and we're able to understand each other and what they need out of me.

I'm, I'm there for fully and they fully support me also, so I'm just thankful for it.

Share Sanders, future NFL quarterback.

I'll say it one more time for you.

I appreciate you stopping by.

Thank you.
