I want to be the future of a franchise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At the end of the day, you just want to go to a team that believes in you... and hopefully wants to build a franchise around you.
I think I'm a face of a franchise. I can make an impact.
I love the idea of coming into a struggling franchise and seeing if I can help them win. First off, I hate to lose. At anything. Secondly, who doesn't want to be the guy to help turn something around?
There's nothing magic about working with franchisees. What you have to do is help them improve their business.
I want to be there for the team.
I'm sure there will be business ventures and things down the road, but I definitely don't want to be a team owner.
I think it's great to be a part of a franchise that is successful. Any franchise is successful because it's a continuation and people have seen it.
When I was a kid, I have two dreams. I want to be a baseball player. Hometown, Hiroshima, has a Japanese baseball franchise team called Hiroshima Carps. You know, and then I want to be a sushi chef. I want to make own restaurant - sushi restaurant.
The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.
My job is to build that belief in every coach and every owner, that they can put the franchise in my hands and I can take it uphill from there. Obviously, everyone wants to be No. 1, but I'm not going to campaign. I'm just going to go out and show what I've got.
