Part 2/8:
Montana began the conversation with a nod to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who recently reached a national championship game. Despite their loss, Montana expressed pride in the team's achievement and acknowledged the positive trajectory under head coach Marcus Freeman. At just under 40 years of age, Freeman has rallied the team, achieving a level of play that exceeds many expectations. According to Montana, a key to Freeman's success is his ability to foster belief among players, allowing them to play beyond their limits. His distinct personality—excitable on the sidelines yet laidback in personal interactions—has also contributed to the team's morale.
