WORK ETHIC vs. WANT ETHIC: "Next time you're watching a game and one player makes a play over another player, listen for the announcer to say, "Oh! He just wanted it more!" Then ask yourself this: Was the level of 'want' really the difference why one player made the... play and the other didn't?! Or did one of those players plan better, jump higher, use better technique, see more clearly, and build better skill? Did he want it more in the moment or did he prepare a little better and when that moment arrived he performed a little better? You think that the other player didn't want it? Didn't want to make the play? Was the difference between those two athletes their level of want?! No way. It wasn't want. It was work! Getting in shape requires consistent workouts, not frequent want-outs. You earn in alignment with the quality of your work, not the quality of your want. You can build a life on a work ethic but you can't build anything on a want ethic. Working hard is studying, prepping, reps, reflection, feedback, and responsibility for the results that you produce. It's late nights and early mornings. It's uncommon effort and it's choosing to push harder when you could relax. Wanting hard? Well, that's what everyone else does. Everything is training for something. Do the work.”show more

Man, I LOVE this take! Do you know how often kids get this misplaced criticism?!?!

Brian Kight1 year ago

I do. That's why I made this 👀

You is absolutely right 💯💪🏿🏀👀

The people who don't want it aren't in that position. Once you're competing, everyone wants it.

If we are debating the level of want, we've already lost. Let's get to work!

The want to is necessary to do the necessary work.

He didn't want to have to...take a shower with your phone up against the shower door so you can see a text that's coming in, or take your phone with you to the urinal and hold it in one hand while you take care of your business in the other.

Wayne Gretzky shares the advice he gives to every young athlete. "The commitment and the work ethic is worth it." "My dad was a big believer that the harder you work as a kid, the more fun you're going to have as an adult. And the more fun you have as a kid, the harder you're going to work as an adult." Read that again. It's one of the truest things ever said about success. Work now, play later. Or play now and work forever. "The commitment and the passion for what you're doing is so worth it at the end of the day. Just believe each and every day - it's really, really worth it." Commitment is a choice. It's choosing long-term growth over short-term comfort. "I wouldn't trade my life in for anything in the world." Outcomes and rewards require sacrifice. The key question is: what price am I willing to pay (🎥Be Better Off Show)

Mourinho comments on football's recent tactical revolution. "I think the problem is when people want to make copy-paste without having the conditions for it. If you want a full-back playing inside, you need a player with a certain adaptability. If a full-back is weak on attack, I like to say that he shouldn't attack from the inside or from the outside. He should stay back and build alongside the centre-backs. Something I don't like is when I see coaches trying to copy-paste things they saw but doing it in completely different contexts. If you want to build with the goalkeeper with a goalkeeper that has a wooden leg, it will be complicated. For example, when Pep arrived to Manchester City, the goalkeeper was the best English goalkeeper, which was Joe Hart. Pep didn't want Joe Hart, he wanted Claudio Bravo, coming from Barcelona with that culture of playing from behind. But then it wasn't enough, he wanted more than Claudio Bravo, so he signed Ederson, who could play short and long. If you want to copy-paste the ideas of a coach who can buy, and buy, and buy, it will be complicated. And then you also have those coaches who try to do things that just don't work, and because of that they die, but they say 'I died but I died by my ideas'. My friend, if you died by your ideas you are stupid."

Ben McCollum: “The benefit of me being at Division II is I’ve had the opportunity to work through positives and negatives. So I’ve made a lot of mistakes and we’ve done a lot of things right. And I didn’t have a lot of external noise while we were doing that. And then obviously we won a lot of games while we were making mistakes and while positives happened. Fast forward to this, that gives you a sense of confidence to build your roster because it’s like, we’ve built rosters. Obviously, this is the Big Ten – it is different. You need a little better player, a little bigger player, a little more physical player. But the attributes that you still want are still the same from a personality standpoint. Where you want tough kids, you want humble kids, you want guys that want to serve.”

NAVAL: ELON BUILDS THINGS THAT ARE TECHNICALLY HARD BUT OBVIOUSLY USEFUL “Like a lot of us, I'm inspired by Elon, and all the incredible work he's done. So, I don't want to build things that are easy. I want to build things that are hard and interesting. I want to take on more technical risk and less market risk. This is the classic VC learning: You want to build something that, if people get it, if you can deliver it, you know people will want it. It's just hard to build. As opposed to things that you want to build, and you don't know if people will want it.” Source: All-In Podcast, February 14, 2025

"There are two types of coaches, those who do nothing and those who do a lot of damage. I prefer to be one of those who do nothing. The game belongs to the players, always ⚽. You can introduce them to a certain strategy that we have to implement, and they have to be convinced that they can do it. Then, there is the quality of the player, there is the attitude, the commitment. What a coach can do is make the players understand what teamwork is 🤝. Because we have the quality, Bayern Munich has it, Paris Saint Germain has it. Where is the difference? Where do you want to put this quality? If you want to put it in for yourself, it's not right ❌. If you put it in for the team, you can win 🏆."

I didn’t get off to a perfect start. Early in my career, I struggled with a lackadaisical work ethic and a knack for finding trouble. The talent was there but talent alone doesn’t get you where you want to go. I had to have some tough conversations with myself. Moments where I looked in the mirror and asked, is this really who you want to be? That’s when I made the decision to challenge the competitor inside me, to live up to the potential, to become the best player and the best person I could be. Period. From that moment on, I stacked the work. One rep. One skate. One game. One season at a time. The compound effect of that discipline built something greater than I ever could’ve imagined. Over time, my ability to play at a high level wasn’t the exception, it became the standard. And that’s the lesson: potential means nothing if you’re not willing to do the work. Sent

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on learning from playoff losses. “Whether you win or lose, you want to learn lessons from the game. When you lose, a lot of the lessons are a little bit louder, and that's just how we view it. You want to learn through the wins, but sometimes you lose, and you gotta get better. In a series, that's what it's about, getting better and being better when you're done with a series than you were when you started the series, and give yourself a chance, that's what we focus on.”

KIDS: When you lose the puck, how hard are you willing to work to get it back? As a coach, I want you to make plays. I want you to be creative. I want you to play with no fear of making mistakes. The only stipulation I have is that when you try to make a play and you turn it over, you have to work like hell to get it back. Here's a great example from a team that MAKES A LOT OF PLAYS. Tampa turns it over in the Ozone and then watch the effort from the players to get it back. Hounds. They create another turnover and then get rewarded in transition. Coaches, amazing clip to show your teams!!

.DARBY ALLIN shares why he previously chose to be homeless: "I didn't want any excuses... It created a good work ethic where, in the middle of the summer, the sun would wake you up in the Georgia heat and humidity. You couldn't sleep. You couldn't kill time just scrolling on your phone. You had to get hustling and moving. It created a good work ethic. I said, I don't deserve to leave this car until I make it in wrestling."

Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert. com, on the four things it takes to be really successful, and why the most important one isn't what you'd expect: He opens with a clear framework: "It takes four things to be really successful. Talent, you've all got it, as do many more people than you think. Hard work. If you want to be really successful, you're going to have to work hard. Focus. Zone in on what you're good at." On focus, he pushes back against the idea that you need to be exceptional at everything: "Understand, none of us are unfailingly brilliant at everything. So, find the thing that you're good at and zone in on that. And that is what will create your success." But the fourth factor is where his message turns unexpected: "The most important thing is luck. You can do everything right, but it still not work for you. And you need to know that now." This reframes how he wants people to think about setbacks: "Failing does not make you a failure. Do not judge yourself. See it as a way to learn and to give yourself a better opportunity the next time." Martin Lewis then challenges a common assumption about what success actually delivers: "Success can be stressful. Success is not a synonym for happiness. As you go through your working careers, at sometimes you may want to make a call. Do I continue to push that hard or do I smile at what I've got and enjoy happiness and the other things that life starts to give me?" He closes with a message aimed at those who do make it big: "One or two of you in here will make it really big. If that's you, remember of those four things, the most important one is luck. And that means if you're that super successful one in the room, you have a moral duty to give back."

Lebron on what it takes to play for as long as he has at a high level that the average fan may not understand: "It starts way before you get on the floor. They see us once the game is going the popcorn's been popped and the lights are brighter. It takes so much more like sacrifice and discipline and things over the course if you want to be really great at this and if you want to do it for a long period of time. It's so many hours that you got to commit to it. There's so many things that you maybe want to do that you can't if you want to be great but everybody's journey is different. I'm just speaking from my journey but I do think that the game gives back to the ones who put the time in and commit to the game. That's just the game God's rewarding and we don't cheat the process"
