"What's most important is that you look out for one another. This is your family. These are your brothers. I look at all of you as brothers. I see your strength. I see your power. I see your courage, your confidence. And that's something you have to be able to speak into each other as well. When you talk to him, speak confidence into him. 'You're going to play great today.

They don't give you the opportunities to be the best you can be. And that's why I made this decision to do what I did. Y'all inspire me with what you did, following that and standing up.

"You are important. You make a difference. This matters. Everything you do matters. Look out for one another. Pick each other up. That's what this is about.

I'm here with you."
