3 00:01:36.110 ⇒ 00:01:37.940 Demilade Agboola: Hi, Greg. How are you doing?
4 00:01:38.480 ⇒ 00:01:40.360 Greg Stoutenburg: I’m doing alright, how are you?
5 00:01:40.670 ⇒ 00:01:42.030 Demilade Agboola: I’m doing very well, too.
6 00:01:44.270 ⇒ 00:01:45.330 Greg Stoutenburg: You have weekend plans?
7 00:01:47.000 ⇒ 00:01:53.489 Demilade Agboola: Not particularly. I have a tennis match on Sunday. I have tennis training tomorrow.
8 00:01:53.830 ⇒ 00:01:55.879 Demilade Agboola: And I can’t go to the gym as well.
9 00:01:56.140 ⇒ 00:02:00.489 Demilade Agboola: And then… I have an Arsenal match on Sunday as well to watch, so…
10 00:02:00.800 ⇒ 00:02:04.039 Greg Stoutenburg: Nice! Alright, cool. Didn’t realize you were a tennis player.
11 00:02:04.660 ⇒ 00:02:07.769 Demilade Agboola: No, I mean, I go into it, like, last year, July.
12 00:02:08.169 ⇒ 00:02:09.240 Demilade Agboola: Completely.
13 00:02:09.949 ⇒ 00:02:16.579 Demilade Agboola: depend… depending on the week, I play at least one, two, sometimes 4 or 5 times a week, so…
14 00:02:17.530 ⇒ 00:02:18.880 Greg Stoutenburg: It’s pretty good. Nice.
15 00:02:18.880 ⇒ 00:02:20.839 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so that’s what… kind of what I do.
16 00:02:20.980 ⇒ 00:02:22.590 Demilade Agboola: Yeah. At this point.
17 00:02:22.890 ⇒ 00:02:27.050 Greg Stoutenburg: Is that… is that more of a hobby, or are you or were you a competitive player?
18 00:02:27.980 ⇒ 00:02:34.849 Demilade Agboola: like, tennis? No, I just picked… I could literally just picked up for the first time in July, so there’s no way in hell I could be competitive.
19 00:02:34.990 ⇒ 00:02:39.110 Demilade Agboola: Nice. Well, I do, I do enter, like, competitions and, like, club…
20 00:02:39.230 ⇒ 00:02:42.020 Demilade Agboola: Club level, not in the recreational level.
21 00:02:42.260 ⇒ 00:02:42.980 Greg Stoutenburg: That’s too fast.
22 00:02:42.980 ⇒ 00:02:44.759 Demilade Agboola: I actually won one, like, 2 weeks ago.
23 00:02:44.980 ⇒ 00:02:47.040 Greg Stoutenburg: Nice! Alright, nice, way to go!
24 00:02:47.350 ⇒ 00:02:48.290 Demilade Agboola: Yeah.
25 00:02:48.500 ⇒ 00:02:53.470 Demilade Agboola: But… Yeah, it’s just fun for me to be able to play.
26 00:02:53.920 ⇒ 00:03:01.159 Greg Stoutenburg: It also can be very frustrating when you keep, like, making mistakes, which is the issue with tennis sometimes, but for the most part, it’s fun.
27 00:03:01.160 ⇒ 00:03:03.800 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah, yeah. German weekend… German weekend plans?
28 00:03:04.180 ⇒ 00:03:06.670 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, I’m, going skiing tonight with my son.
29 00:03:06.800 ⇒ 00:03:08.040 Demilade Agboola: Oh, that’s nice.
30 00:03:08.040 ⇒ 00:03:09.730 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, just… and look at the forecast.
31 00:03:09.730 ⇒ 00:03:10.650 Demilade Agboola: Mind me asking?
32 00:03:10.790 ⇒ 00:03:19.289 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, he’s 13, he’ll be 14 in May, and then my other son will be 11 in August. So, yep, they’re getting up there.
33 00:03:19.290 ⇒ 00:03:20.220 Demilade Agboola: SPR.
34 00:03:20.220 ⇒ 00:03:34.410 Greg Stoutenburg: Those are my two. This was pretty cool. I mean, he, he messaged me yesterday, like, midday, like, hey, can we go skiing some night this week? I’m like, that’s cool. That’s the first time he’s been the one to ask for it, you know?
35 00:03:34.410 ⇒ 00:03:35.420 Demilade Agboola: Exactly.
36 00:03:35.420 ⇒ 00:03:37.690 Greg Stoutenburg: So, that’s cool, and .
37 00:03:37.690 ⇒ 00:03:38.270 Demilade Agboola: Nice.
38 00:03:38.270 ⇒ 00:03:49.359 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, so skiing tonight, and the local place, I’ve never been out there on a Friday evening, but they do, like, they do, like, a fire pit, and s’mores, and have live music, so…
39 00:03:49.680 ⇒ 00:03:52.270 Greg Stoutenburg: That’ll be fun, and then,
40 00:03:52.440 ⇒ 00:03:58.959 Greg Stoutenburg: I guess my main… my main other thing will be Sunday. I have a hockey game, so I play on a… on an adult league out here.
41 00:03:58.960 ⇒ 00:03:59.360 Demilade Agboola: motor.
42 00:03:59.360 ⇒ 00:04:01.789 Greg Stoutenburg: Similarly, just picked it up last year.
43 00:04:01.880 ⇒ 00:04:08.119 Greg Stoutenburg: Similarly, not very competitive. And I know exactly what you’re talking about when it comes to making mistakes, like…
44 00:04:08.120 ⇒ 00:04:14.060 Greg Stoutenburg: in my, I just joined a new team, but before this, I’ve played in this, like, Sunday night league for a while.
45 00:04:14.060 ⇒ 00:04:36.299 Greg Stoutenburg: And, you know, I’m happy to say I went from, like, new, hadn’t even played ice hockey before, played roller hockey some as a teenager, hadn’t even played ice hockey before, joined the league, kind of quickly become, you know, a regular scorer, things like that. I’m like, this is cool, this is cool. And then, I started a team at another rink, and immediately lose, like, 9-1, and then… and then, like…
46 00:04:36.450 ⇒ 00:04:40.470 Greg Stoutenburg: 15-8, and the only goals scored were by our team’s subs.
47 00:04:41.100 ⇒ 00:04:46.290 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay. So, just gotta fight in the right division, and you can be a leader.
48 00:04:46.290 ⇒ 00:04:50.189 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah, I think that’s the thing. Even, like, with tennis, I find that…
49 00:04:51.660 ⇒ 00:04:58.369 Demilade Agboola: like, tournaments and stuff, my coach was like, oh, I don’t want you to play beginners, I want you to play, like, low-intermediate players.
50 00:04:58.370 ⇒ 00:04:58.780 Greg Stoutenburg: Yes.
51 00:04:58.780 ⇒ 00:05:03.369 Demilade Agboola: even though you might lose, I want you to problem-solve and figure that out, and…
52 00:05:03.370 ⇒ 00:05:03.810 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
53 00:05:03.810 ⇒ 00:05:08.789 Demilade Agboola: Know what’s, like, Weak in your game to be able to match to the next level?
54 00:05:08.790 ⇒ 00:05:09.420 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
55 00:05:09.420 ⇒ 00:05:14.500 Demilade Agboola: So, I mean, I have been playing low intermediate with mixed results, some, some wins.
56 00:05:14.720 ⇒ 00:05:19.899 Demilade Agboola: fair, like, I had a win against someone like my coach knew, and he was, like, very surprised that I won that match.
57 00:05:20.140 ⇒ 00:05:20.810 Greg Stoutenburg: Nice.
58 00:05:20.810 ⇒ 00:05:26.960 Demilade Agboola: then, you know, I’ve had some bad losses too, so it’s just, like, I guess that’s the beauty of sport, is, like… Yeah.
59 00:05:27.290 ⇒ 00:05:35.159 Demilade Agboola: There’s that mental aspect of being able to, like, problem-solve, figure out how you need to, like, match the next level, what you need to work on.
60 00:05:35.450 ⇒ 00:05:38.679 Demilade Agboola: And I think that’s… that’s the beauty of it, because you just keep…
61 00:05:39.060 ⇒ 00:05:41.570 Demilade Agboola: always keeps on going, like, there’s no… Right.
62 00:05:42.240 ⇒ 00:06:01.780 Greg Stoutenburg: There’s no ceiling, like… There’s no ceiling, nope, nope. Not that we’re ever gonna touch, anyway, in our adult recreational sports. Yeah, and yeah, I hear that, and I think this is also, like, so when I’ve played hockey, I subbed in for a team that was a division, like, two above what I’ve been playing in.
63 00:06:02.090 ⇒ 00:06:21.139 Greg Stoutenburg: Got absolutely smoked. But what was awesome about it is I was among the worst players, and so then, like, you feel… you feel more of that challenge, like, what you’re talking about. Like, this is great, they’re gonna play this way, I’m gonna just try to, like, anything I do to try to match their level of play is a benefit to me.
64 00:06:21.270 ⇒ 00:06:25.699 Greg Stoutenburg: Now, here’s the thing… here’s where I think that the translation to individual sports
65 00:06:25.920 ⇒ 00:06:32.399 Greg Stoutenburg: sort of gets disconnected, is on this new team, there are players that are significantly worse than I am.
66 00:06:32.450 ⇒ 00:06:46.810 Greg Stoutenburg: So now when I go out, and we play teams that are better than us, it’s like… it’s like, I’m not learning, and I… and I can’t make plays, because, you know, there’s five of us on the ice, two are basically in the way, and the other
67 00:06:47.770 ⇒ 00:06:55.149 Greg Stoutenburg: you know, has 5 players that are much better than I am, so it’s like, okay, I’ve gotta figure out how to… how to navigate this one.
68 00:06:55.470 ⇒ 00:07:00.640 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, I think… yeah, it’s definitely a challenge, but, like, I think just generally sport… I love…
69 00:07:00.990 ⇒ 00:07:10.469 Demilade Agboola: it’s one of those things that when I, like, when I eventually have kids, I would love them to play sports. Not necessarily, like, to be pro or anything, but I think there’s a discipline to it, like.
70 00:07:10.470 ⇒ 00:07:11.040 Greg Stoutenburg: Absolutely.
71 00:07:11.060 ⇒ 00:07:13.410 Demilade Agboola: And there’s definitely, like, a mental discipline.
72 00:07:13.740 ⇒ 00:07:14.120 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
73 00:07:14.120 ⇒ 00:07:21.669 Demilade Agboola: bounce back, because I’ve had some very, like, frustrating losses, where, like, nothing was working that day. My backhand was nowhere to be found, my forehand.
74 00:07:21.670 ⇒ 00:07:22.350 Greg Stoutenburg: Yep.
75 00:07:22.350 ⇒ 00:07:26.229 Demilade Agboola: found, or my serve was just completely… just deserted me.
76 00:07:26.230 ⇒ 00:07:27.880 Greg Stoutenburg: Right? Yeah.
77 00:07:27.880 ⇒ 00:07:30.979 Demilade Agboola: Being able to keep cool, keep calm.
78 00:07:30.980 ⇒ 00:07:34.689 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah. Self-regulate is also some… it’s an important part of tennis as well.
79 00:07:35.270 ⇒ 00:07:39.409 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah. Yeah. I, I, yeah, I hear all that. Yeah,
80 00:07:39.890 ⇒ 00:07:43.660 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, for me, like, that’s how I feel about shooting,
81 00:07:44.150 ⇒ 00:07:57.250 Greg Stoutenburg: Most of the goals that I tend to score are, you know, rebounds. I’m close to the net, and I’ve just gotten a quick pass, and I’m just gonna, like, flick it in. It’s much less often
82 00:07:57.260 ⇒ 00:08:08.679 Greg Stoutenburg: I’ve got some distance, and I take an accurate, fast, and powerful shot. That’s really hard for me. So basically, like, I score, but with… I score by being scrappy, rather than by aiming.
83 00:08:08.680 ⇒ 00:08:13.169 Demilade Agboola: Sounds like you have, like, really good positioning, so, like, you’re just at the right spot at the right time.
84 00:08:13.170 ⇒ 00:08:25.299 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, I’m… I mean, I guess, yeah, I can speak to, like, what I’m good at. Like, I’m… I hustle, one thing. I hustle. Which is, in my division, actually, that can help set you apart.
85 00:08:25.340 ⇒ 00:08:40.919 Greg Stoutenburg: So I play really hard, and I… yeah, like, I get in the net, I’m not afraid of some, you know, some contacts and pushing around, so I will be up front to get that, you know, to get that rebound, or flick it in over the goalie, or whatever.
86 00:08:41.400 ⇒ 00:09:00.950 Greg Stoutenburg: and, you know, and good positioning. Things I’m not so good at are, like… I mean, yeah, I mean, really the main thing is just having an accurate and fast shot. It’s like, I can… I can kind of have one or the other. Like, I can… sometimes I can let it rip, and it’s pretty fast. Not that fast, but pretty fast, but just, you know, 4 feet away from the…
87 00:09:03.290 ⇒ 00:09:16.990 Greg Stoutenburg: That’s not helping anybody, or, you know, yeah, or, like, get it in the right place, but, like, it’s a slow lob. Like, I’ve seen… I’ve shot… are you familiar with, like, the layout of a hockey rink? Yeah.
88 00:09:16.990 ⇒ 00:09:35.740 Greg Stoutenburg: I’ll be, like, say I’m in the offensive zone, and I’m on, like, sort of the top of one of the red circles on the side. I’ve taken a shot that’s, like, accurate, but I’ve seen it go up and already begin to descend before it gets to the net, and that’s only, you know, that’s, like, 30 feet away. That’s…
89 00:09:36.070 ⇒ 00:09:39.960 Greg Stoutenburg: That’s not that much, anyway. So it’s like, alright, that’s not gonna work.
90 00:09:39.960 ⇒ 00:09:40.870 Demilade Agboola: sessions.
91 00:09:41.130 ⇒ 00:09:57.360 Greg Stoutenburg: Not really. I mean, so, the Sunday Night League basically became a practice league. It was, like, anybody can join, and then every season, they just kind of scramble and pick teams, rather than having a dedicated team. So, for a lot of people, they just kind of think of that as practice.
92 00:09:57.660 ⇒ 00:10:02.539 Greg Stoutenburg: But it’s fun to pick up hockey. This other team, the one that I’ll play Sunday, like, midday.
93 00:10:02.870 ⇒ 00:10:06.550 Greg Stoutenburg: That’s a team that we just created,
94 00:10:06.690 ⇒ 00:10:18.469 Greg Stoutenburg: that’s the team that we just created, so that’s got a dedicated roster. But the times are random, a lot of them are late, all of us work, and it’s 45 minutes away, so it’s like…
95 00:10:18.790 ⇒ 00:10:20.920 Greg Stoutenburg: Like, like, la- last week?
96 00:10:21.170 ⇒ 00:10:28.570 Greg Stoutenburg: I think it was last Tuesday, so not 3 days ago, but 15 days ago, or whatever. The game started at 10-10.
97 00:10:28.800 ⇒ 00:10:30.790 Greg Stoutenburg: I got into bed at about 1.
98 00:10:30.900 ⇒ 00:10:33.779 Greg Stoutenburg: And then I was logged in here at 8, and I was like.
99 00:10:34.360 ⇒ 00:10:37.449 Greg Stoutenburg: I was like, man, I don’t remember the last time I felt this tired.
100 00:10:39.200 ⇒ 00:10:48.739 Demilade Agboola: No, I feel ya, I feel you. I just ask that because I, like, one of the things I’ve, you know, learned with tennis is repetition, like, that act of repetition helps a ton.
101 00:10:48.740 ⇒ 00:10:49.060 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
102 00:10:49.950 ⇒ 00:10:50.850 Greg Stoutenburg: Absolutely.
103 00:10:50.850 ⇒ 00:10:58.679 Demilade Agboola: I think… but on the other hand, though, is it kind of… it can be frustrating when you’re playing a match and all the repetition seems to desert you.
104 00:10:58.680 ⇒ 00:11:00.080 Greg Stoutenburg: That’s true.
105 00:11:00.080 ⇒ 00:11:00.939 Demilade Agboola: That’s a theme.
106 00:11:00.940 ⇒ 00:11:01.510 Greg Stoutenburg: Right?
107 00:11:01.510 ⇒ 00:11:05.340 Demilade Agboola: But I was talking to… so, one of my… I have a couple of coaches, I have, like, 3 coaches.
108 00:11:05.340 ⇒ 00:11:05.990 Greg Stoutenburg: Nice.
109 00:11:07.070 ⇒ 00:11:19.159 Demilade Agboola: My first coach that cited me to play tennis, he used to be Malta, he’s, like, 60 now, but in his prime, he used to be Malta’s number one tennis player. Cool. His son, who’s also one of my coaches, is the current
110 00:11:19.470 ⇒ 00:11:20.969 Demilade Agboola: Number one player in Malta.
111 00:11:21.190 ⇒ 00:11:21.790 Greg Stoutenburg: Nice.
112 00:11:21.790 ⇒ 00:11:22.630 Demilade Agboola: And then I have.
113 00:11:22.630 ⇒ 00:11:23.060 Greg Stoutenburg: Cool.
114 00:11:23.250 ⇒ 00:11:25.420 Demilade Agboola: Through a friend who recommended him.
115 00:11:25.980 ⇒ 00:11:31.540 Demilade Agboola: But, like, when I was talking to, like, my coach’s… my first coach’s son, the current number one in Malta.
116 00:11:31.680 ⇒ 00:11:35.110 Demilade Agboola: Pete just talked about, like, I need to be able to have more…
117 00:11:35.330 ⇒ 00:11:42.710 Demilade Agboola: like, to maintain my cool during a game, I need to have more controllable goals, because tennis is not, like, fully in your control.
118 00:11:42.900 ⇒ 00:11:43.290 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
119 00:11:43.290 ⇒ 00:11:45.410 Demilade Agboola: Hands on the ball that comes back to you.
120 00:11:45.410 ⇒ 00:11:46.640 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah. Depends on, like.
121 00:11:47.000 ⇒ 00:11:51.470 Demilade Agboola: But if your goals are, for instance, about, say…
122 00:11:52.110 ⇒ 00:11:53.749 Demilade Agboola: I need to hit the ball above the net.
123 00:11:54.750 ⇒ 00:11:59.119 Demilade Agboola: If it goes long, it goes wide. That’s fine. Because bad misses are when you hit the net.
124 00:11:59.370 ⇒ 00:12:00.130 Greg Stoutenburg: I see.
125 00:12:00.300 ⇒ 00:12:01.200 Demilade Agboola: So… Yep.
126 00:12:01.420 ⇒ 00:12:05.170 Demilade Agboola: that’s a controllable goal. You might not necessarily always, like, be able to…
127 00:12:05.680 ⇒ 00:12:08.680 Demilade Agboola: you know, win the points, or win the match.
128 00:12:08.890 ⇒ 00:12:09.350 Greg Stoutenburg: Yes.
129 00:12:09.350 ⇒ 00:12:14.589 Demilade Agboola: not fully in your control. Right. If you can consistently do, you know, your goals, you can feel better.
130 00:12:14.980 ⇒ 00:12:15.370 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
131 00:12:15.370 ⇒ 00:12:21.270 Demilade Agboola: you can… your serve, they’re like, oh, I’m not going to double fault or my… I’m not going to make more than four double falls in this entire match.
132 00:12:22.190 ⇒ 00:12:25.050 Demilade Agboola: It’s controllable, because you can control that shot fully.
133 00:12:25.210 ⇒ 00:12:28.150 Demilade Agboola: Yeah. He’s just like, try and have controllable goals.
134 00:12:28.250 ⇒ 00:12:31.260 Demilade Agboola: And whatever the outcome of the match is, is the outcome of the match.
135 00:12:31.260 ⇒ 00:12:32.190 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah. Yeah.
136 00:12:32.190 ⇒ 00:12:35.480 Demilade Agboola: help you keep your cool during the match. I was like, alright, cool.
137 00:12:35.690 ⇒ 00:12:47.829 Greg Stoutenburg: So basically, it gave you KPIs for playing tennis. Exactly. Right? You’ll be measured on if all the balls go over the net. Exactly. So, I have been trying that, and I did play… I played a match earlier this week, I lost.
138 00:12:47.940 ⇒ 00:12:52.709 Demilade Agboola: But I think I only went into the… like, I only hit the net, like, 4 times or 5 times the entire match, and I was like…
139 00:12:52.710 ⇒ 00:12:54.850 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not bad.
140 00:12:54.850 ⇒ 00:12:57.570 Demilade Agboola: Like, I tried to do that,
141 00:12:57.750 ⇒ 00:13:02.449 Demilade Agboola: And then the next step will be… we’ll have other goals based off of that, so, yeah.
142 00:13:02.450 ⇒ 00:13:20.179 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, I like that idea. Yeah, I’ll hop in a second here, Jasmine’s gonna be waiting for me. But, yeah, like, so the one time I… it might, yeah, it might benefit me. If I paid a coach, like, even 6 weeks or something like that, it could be good. One time I did go to a strictly practice session, and a more experienced player just gave me, like, 15 minutes on shooting.
143 00:13:20.180 ⇒ 00:13:28.240 Greg Stoutenburg: And he was just like, no, do it like this, and, like, watched what I was doing, gave feedback, and that was the first time I ever learned how to do a slap shot. And I was like, oh!
144 00:13:28.240 ⇒ 00:13:29.450 Greg Stoutenburg: I get this now.
145 00:13:29.450 ⇒ 00:13:38.090 Greg Stoutenburg: This makes more sense, you know, so yeah, coaching’s good. Alright, good to talk. Eden’s fine. Alright, see ya. Take care of yourself.
