"Honestly, it's just been like that," Canales said. "Ever since we started practicing against each other, they, particularly Chuba, Jaycee, Bryce, they're all kind of going back and forth. And the energy for us is never about the opponent; it's never about trying to dominate the opponent; it's about bringing your best. And sometimes they just add their little flavor, and that's kind of part of their personality.
"One of the things is I think about this team is, the better we coach, the better we set the foundation and have expectations, the more comfortable we see them, we start seeing the personality. We start seeing them start to really color what we're doing out here. So I love it. I love that they're going after each other, and they know the goal is to make each other better."
Again, a lot of this is based on the perception of Young as quiet, but Canales has seen him open up during his time here.
"Honestly, he gets really animated," Canales said. "And particularly if you're talking about sports. He loves talking about NBA basketball and college sports during the season. When we're out here on the field, he just has a defiance to him, and that's just kind of his way of competing.
"He's not super animated with it, but he definitely thrives off of that, feeds off of that energy, and he takes his chances when he can because Jaycee's trying to bait him into throwing the ball over there, and he's doing a great job with it. So, and it does bring a level of confidence to the guys to know, like, hey, we're dangerous when we're out here, so I can feel that happening."
