Daily Mindset
“What looks like talent is often careful preparation. What looks like skill is often persistent revision.” – James Clear
Nothing happens on the competition floor by accident. We are a result of the work we’ve completed leading up to that point. There is no pixy dust, magical words, or secret tricks.
When we look at the work behind the closed doors, we start to see what talent really is.
Hard, committed, unwavering effort.
Never fooled by those that “make it look easy”, as easy doesn’t happen by accident.
To some, that thought can be dis-encouraging. Not the case for us. For this team, it’s the opposite… it’s invigoration. It’s proof that we too can reach those heights… if we, that is, put in the work.
So let’s get to it.
