Hey Boobie, you didn't lift.
C'mon man. This is God given. The only thing I gotta do is show up.
Mike Winchell
You ever feel cursed, Coach? Like, no matter what, inside your heart you feel that you're gonna lose. Like something's hanging over you, following you like a witch or a demon that just... I feel like that all the time. Even when things are going good. When we're winnin', it's there. And when we're losin', it's there.
It took me a long time to realize that, uh, there ain't much difference between winnin' and losin', except for how the outside world treats you. But inside you, it's about all the same. It really is. Fact of the matter is, I believe that, uh, our only curses are the ones that are self-imposed. You know what I'm sayin'? We, all of us, dig our own holes.

Did you think it was going to be this big?
Yeah.
Mike Winchell
Bullshit man.
I do.
Mike Winchell
You act like that. You think it's just a game. Something to check off on your list. Know what I think?
What's that?
Mike Winchell
I think you're scared just like the rest of us. But I think you're smart enough to see that one day when you look back from whatever big job or big house, or whatever it is that you got, that when you look back at this time, I dare you to beat it. I dare you.
It's just a game.
It doesn't feel like just a game to me.
So what's it feel like?
Feels like... feels like we're going to war.
You gotta lighten up, man. You're 17.
I don't feel 17. Do you feel like you're 17?
Mike Winchell
I don't feel 17.
