On this episode, we are going to talk about sports, and in particular, how you can get an advantage – how you can do better than other people in sports. Let’s get started.

Tammy: What are you doing this year to give your team an advantage?

Phillip: Trust me, I know what I’m doing. He’ll get an extra year of eligibility and be even better
