JH: For one, to start off where we left off. To
start off quick. Last year we started off slow, so I just want to start

awesome year. So just doing that, progressing throughout the year and
growing. Last year was just growth. For me, it’s to be in a top spot, to
bring something to the game that I haven’t before. I want to bring a
different dynamic. I’m gonna do anything I can do to help our team win.
