Loading helper before controller

Is this a good way to control before and after actions in CI4?

PHP Code:

   private function beforeRequest()
    {
        echo "Before";
    }

    private function afterRequest()
    {
        echo "After";
    } 


And my initController looks like that;

PHP Code:

    public function initController(\CodeIgniter\HTTP\RequestInterface $request, \CodeIgniter\HTTP\ResponseInterface $response, \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger)
    {
        
                $this->beforeRequest();
        // Do Not Edit This Line
        parent::initController($request, $response, $logger);

        //--------------------------------------------------------------------
        // Preload any models, libraries, etc, here.
        //--------------------------------------------------------------------
        // E.g.:
                // $this->session = \Config\Services::session();
                $this->afterRequest();    
         }
