I got an email from Pete Monchek today.
Pete’s a distance client as is his daughter Maia.
He wanted to tell me that Maia was just named to the First Team All-State Softball Team in California.
Just to let you know how good she really is…on the season, Maia lead the team offesively in almost every statistical category with a .550 batting average, 55 hits, including 13 doubles, 5 triples, and 3 homers. She drove in 45 runs and scored 42 herself.
She’s going to be attending my alma mater, Purdue University, on a softball scholarship proving that she’s also a smart one (she has a 3.9 GPA as well).
Pete sent me the email at 11 PM California time. He sent it because Maia was busy. She was finishing her workout.
What are you willing to do to succeed?
It’s interesting how some athletes are put down for relying on their obvious talent. Those who are critical of others successes never see the hours of work that many athletes put in just to make it look easy.
Maybe the criticism gives people an excuse. The excuse not to do the hard work necessary to succeed.
You too can be successful. Just quit making excuses. Stop comparing yourself to others. Take responsibility for where you are now and do the work to get you to where you want to be.
