"There are athletes who just turn up. They'll do the requisite amount of work but that's it.
Athletes who turn up to compete, they put a bit more effort in. They try to be the best amongst their group.
Then, there are athletes who train to win. They train every day every session so they win on match night.
And then, there are just those very few players who train to dominate. They train so hard that winning is inevitable on race night."

1. What do you want?
2. How badly do you want it?
3. How much are you willing to suffer?
You want to be the best? The best pay a big price. You gotta work harder, you gotta commit more, you gotta accept more responsibility. You gotta deal with more ups and downs. Gold medal champions suffer every day.

"If you can see it here, and you have the courage enough to speak it, It will happen. So I see these shots. I see these sequences. And I don't shy away from them. A lot of times people believe in certain things, but they keep to themselves. They don't put it out there. If you truly believe in it, if you become vocal with it, you are creating that law of attraction and it will become reality."
Conor McGregor
