It's important for a couple of factors for one I would say to build a self esteem, especially boys of color growing up. They're constantly I want to say talk down to but they're they're kind of taught that they're there. They're meaningless or not meaningless, but you know they don't have much what's the word I'm looking for? They don't have much to contribute to the world. But now with put me in you have a lot to contribute, you can become professional player or you can become you know, become a karate instructor or martial arts instructor. And then you can teach other children so it definitely gives him a sense of importance. Also. I've seen a lot of growth in him over the time just be based off of his self discipline, and I don't have to ask him to to practice or I don't have to ask him to do his workout because he knows this is what he has to do. So he has that mental capacity already established that this is important and he is privileged to be in this program. So he he's not taking it for granted.
