Ep 403 - How Bad Do You Want It?
Manage episode 515285107 series 2139094
The Breath of Greatness: Tim and Steve talk about commitment and what it really takes to be great at something.
They share a story about a young football player who wants to learn from a retired coach. The boy keeps asking the coach to teach him, showing how much he really wants it. Finally, the coach agrees — but he teaches the boy in a very surprising way.
He takes the boy into the water and holds him down for a few seconds. When the boy comes up gasping for air, the coach tells him, “When you want to be great as badly as you wanted to breathe just now, that’s when you’ll be great.”
Tim and Steve explain that this means you have to want greatness every single day, not just sometimes. Being good is nice — but when you work hard, stay focused, and never give up, that’s when you become truly great.
