THB: What do you think of the skating treadmill?
Eli: I love the skating treadmill. I use it a lot back home working out at Acceleration Minnesota with Miles Van Tassel another former tech standout. He has done a lot for me with working out and training on the treadmill. I think it will continue to improve my game a lot in the future.
