For any player or any developing player if he's got the support at home that that obviously helps I think players should be encouraged. The boys should be encouraged to look at what they're doing. I also think they should be encouraged to play other sports as well. If you want to improve and get your skill set up there. It's you know, I think it's widely recognizes 10,000 hours have got to go in before you can Master any skill. I think even just a tennis ball against the wall and reaction drills or whatever it is, you know, just just doing things which are fun. So if you work that out is 10,000 hours, if you can invest in young players if they can really invest their time in the back Garden, you know in the bedroom in the hallway or what have you if they can you're always working on their skills, which kids love to do anyway, because it's fun and then that's just going to set them up for a great.
