Muscle Minute #49: Work Ethic Makes You a Winner

"Work ethic is what makes up the difference when natural talent falls short."

I’m not naturally gifted. Even when I worked hard at things, I still felt like I wasn’t getting to the top. That was a realization I had very young, both in sports and in my lifting career.

The sum total of that understanding? I may not be the champion, but with a ton of work, I can be in the conversation. I’m a damn winner because I gave it my all every single day. So, I started asking myself: where would I be if I didn’t give my Max Effort every day? Honestly, it’s not a thought I ever want to entertain.
