We all see and hear stories about amazing athletes that have achieved great heights, or businesses that came out of nowhere and did a massive IPO.
It’s not until you start looking beyond the tip of the iceberg that you realize: (1) athletes are also normal people just like everyone else and (2) the success that you see is a product of years of hard work, sacrifices, and commitment.
What’s fascinating is that through my conversations with all-star athlete and C-level executives, I realized that there was no magical breakthrough – instead, they all obsessed over becoming the best and not letting obstacles derail them.
If you’re looking for some real-life motivation, like going all-in for the hail mary with no back-up plan, spending 8 hours a day watching film from your practice so you can get better mentally, and doing small things daily that over time will help you get better than your competition – then this episode is for you.
“Enjoy the process of getting better at it, It does not necessarily mean you are going to be good at it right now… but I know I’m going to enjoy this thing and eventually I will love it, because if I enjoy getting better at it, eventually I can be the best at it. Then winning is really fun.” -Jeff Adamson
