You can see that jack who has saved thousands of lives. Hes a seasoned vet. Hes a Seasoned Life guard and hes not halfway there yet. You can see how lifesaving a dren could be in this kind of situation. Thats remarkable. What are the challenges of getting this out of prototype phase into the operational phase . Well jack another Seasoned Life guard, swimming to joe, the life guards spoke to the designers and makers of the drone. They say this has a lot of potential. Today is a beautiful day.

And he just understood the movement so well. The musicality. We adapted so well to the fun dances and energetic things pop to pull a deeper side of him at first was tough. Because of the struggle of finding that inside of him, thats what was real on the dance floor. I think us trying to find that inside him shind on the dance floor.

Sacked at the 30 yard line by the freshman corner brian fields. Reporter that guy tackling him, brian fields he also red shirted. According to a report by espns jt outside the line fields didnt do it in college. He did it in eighth grade. Take out the athletic part of it if we say, we repeetd eighth grade because he struggled in math. No one would have a problem with it. You throw sports into it some people have a problem with it. What we looked at was, you get very few opportunities in life that you can manufacture time. We were in a position and had the opportunity to give him another year to work toward achieving his goal. Reporter the trend of redshirting in grade school is happening more and more. Parents gaming the system so their kids can have a competitive edge. This little leaguer in West Virginia held back by his dad. Got everything, helmet glove, right . Yep, its in the bag. Reporter troy anthony repeated kindergarten. The boys future as an athlete was key. It was a big factor. I would be lying if i said it wasnt. One concern about redshirting, it sets a precedent for a doid plays puts pressure on them to do something they might not want to do. I hate to be cast as a sports villain, you know what i mean. If he chooses to be a participant in sports and wants to pursue we want to give him an opportunity to excel in sports. I think that i have done that so far. Reporter Sports Professionals are not convinced it gives an advantage. If youre the smallest one, you have to be faster. That might teach you how to be a superior athlete. A better athlete. A better player. If youre always the biggest player, theres not as much impetus for you to make those creative solutions. Reporter and there are other things to consider as well. A study done by researchers at texas and usc finds that kids who redshirted for any reason were twice as likely to drop out of high school. Thats huge. Back in the day, if kids were going the get bet, they played up. That paradigm is completely shifted. I never heard that. A lot more dancing ahead. Theyre getting ready to perform the big number right here in times square. Its one of our favorite parts of the morning. Im stretching to get ready. Were all going to dance, yes. The last dance.
