Like, I hope you make a billion dollars.
- Thank you.
- I really do.
If you make a billion, somebody else is gonna make $2 billion.
- Yes.
- There's a three year old who's gonna do what you do because you set the plate for greatness, for endorsements, for opportunities.
- It's really cool seeing it happen.
I'm not competing this season, but there's three young girls, all of them watched me growing up, and they are killing it.
And they have so many opportunities.
Like, all these brands are sponsoring them and, you know, I've already gotten so many questions, like, "Oh, are you nervous?
Are you scared that you're gonna get overthrown?"
I hope so!
- Right, it's-- - I hope these young girls surpass me one day, and they probably will very soon.
But it's no-- I'm not angry about it.
I'm not nervous about it, this is what I want.
This is what I worked for.
I wanted young girls to see that anything was possible for them.
- So, you know you're a pioneer, right?
A pioneer doesn't have to be 64.
A pioneer can be 22, because it's the evolution of w-- where the game is now, where the sport is now.
So you're setting the plate for the next generation, and the next generation.
