The One Word That Changes Everything

GENO ON HOW SUCCESS HAPPENS

"...If you just want to be average then you do average work.

If you want to be a little bit above average, you do a little more work.

If you want A’s in basketball, you have to do stuff other people aren’t willing to do...“

Exceptional performance demands exceptional commitment. Running sprints or lifting weights when nobody else is separates extraordinary from ordinary.

You might say, "but I want to be with my friends." Life is about choices. None of you are "nepo babies," born with the silver spoon whom life will gift success. I'm not sorry that you have to scratch and claw and fight for the life you want. 

The word that changes people is 'sacrifice'. Sacrifice arises from the Latin facere (to make) and sacer (holy, sacred). Your work "makes holy" your results. 

When you play hard, tough, and selflessly you have a chance to become exceptional. It's your choice.
