OUTWORK EVERYONE.

yeah keep booing me baby keep booing me I love it I love it people been booing me and D me since I started training I love it the more you Foo me the stronger I get baby I'm used to this y' can't stop me keep it up baby keep it up y can't stop me I was born in it molded by it I didn't see the light until I was on already a man by then it was nothing to me but blinding the shadow has betray you because they belong to me the sound of laughter

and the sound of Doubt motivates me so and it it became personal with me something in you has to wake up and usually the only person that can wake it up is you it's 44° and it's nice and rainy outside how about days off one day but not today it's pushing the water and there's a jogger actually look at this wow it's a Florida man right there for you Blake jogging in the hurricane you have many gifts your anger is a gift what is in here is a gift you do not think like other men

you are unpredictable that will serve you well use your anger intelligently for me anger was good because it was motivating the more I could create an enemy the more I want to go out and kill those guys what did they say you know and what did they look like do they disrespect me at all you didn't learn your limitations I have no limitations bet against me bet against me tell me it's not going to happen tell me it's going to fail I love it I love every minute of it it certainly lit a fire under

my belly every single person doubted me every single fighter doubted me doubt Me Now surprise surprise mother the king is back this is what I believe and I'm willing to die for it period I don't believe in Talent I'm here because I worked hard my whole life the small steps in between the big successes everyone sees no one sees this everyone is jealous of what you've got no one is jealous of how you got it everybody wants the view but no one wants the climb we're up here because of 4:00 a.m. we're up here because

of two a days we're five a days we're up here because we had a dream and let nothing stand in our way people see the trophies but not the training ground Champions aren't found on the podium with their hand up no Champions are found in lab studies the thousands of hours of hard work when no one's watching that's what makes the will Unstoppable when you're in here no one else is and you're pushing yourself harder than anybody with no one around listen the work is behind the scenes competition is the easy part behind the scenes

why the work is done it wasn't about the potential it wasn't about the genetics it was about the perseverance and it was about being the hardest worker in the room that's what got them there and it didn't happen overnight they got knocked down more than they ever stood up but they kept going and kept going and kept going and kept going cuz what else is the alternative to be average again that sucks man and I'll never accept mediocre again I'm always going to give it my 110% that's the only thing I can ever say a

solid day's work I'd like to let you in on a very important secret I learned when I was about your age boy you see Power real power doesn't come to those who were born strongest or fastest or smartest no it comes to those who will do anything to achieve it it don't matter how much feel like it ain't going to work delusional complete delusion you got to believe the delusion because it's only delusional until it works delusion is only delusional when you don't accomplish the goals of making your delusion the reality impossible is nothing to

somebody that tries everything that someone said was impossible is happened yeah and then once the world see it there's nothing delusional about it now your delusion becomes oh he was a geni I've been listening to them laugh my whole career they've been laughing what an Irish man win a fight in the UFC hell no laugh laughs all around you serious an Irish man an Irish okay you got to win now he wants to win a world title hell no he's all talk he's all hype he's a joke laughter all around at the Joker the sound

of laughter and the sound of Doubt motivates me so I'm I'm enjoying that I seek that then the Joker Goes and wins a world title every he wants to win a second world title child your haters will become your congratulator and the more Stones they throw at your ass your Mansion going to get bigger did you ever doubt or did you just decide to go all in and you just did it I mean My Philosophy is you you play you play to win you don't play by half measure the only way you're ever going to

get to the other side of this journey is you have got to suffer to grow to grow you must suffer and some people will get it and some people won't Louie a moment of pain is worth a lifetime of Glory remember that do you think Michael Jordan was just interested in winning championships you think Kobe Bryant was just interested in basketball those individuals are obsessed are you interested or are you obsessed I became obsessed I became became obsessed with being the baddest mother that God ever created am I that I don't care I believe it

once you become obsessed with something obsessed it's okay to be unbalanced for a while the best at what you do you have to be unbalanced to find every bit of energy and strength that you have to pull it off then you get balanced once you become great interested people watch obsessed people change the world you going to do this okay fine that's all I needed that's all I needed for him to do that and it it became personal with me I felt like everybody had written me off after those air balls my brain cannot it

cannot process failure it will not process failure I got home it's probably like 3:00 in the morning and I went down to the high school and the janitor let me in the gym and I shot all day all day I mean all day day and this was right after that playoff game and um I didn't leave the gym I just kept shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting and practicing and practicing you're just going to keep on going no matter what you fell 10 times now 11th time is going to be

great it's not the 11th time the 12th time is going to be great but eventually it's going to happen I got a chance to let out the steam of disappointing my teammates and millions of fans once I've made made that commitment and said I wanted to be one of the greatest ever then the game became everything for me so I created the black Mumble the majority of people who aren't getting the places they want or aren't achieving the things that that they want in this business is strictly based on hustle it's strictly based on being

outworked it's strictly based on missing crucial opportunities beating 99% of people is simple not easy you up early you prepare the night before you remember everyone's name you say no to opportunities that don't bring value to your life you follow up quickly you fall up multiple times you deliver value at every interaction with the other person and you never make the same mistake twice The more I've done this the more I've realized that it's about doing the basics at scale consistently that makes you Advanced and that's how you win I will not be outworked period

you might have more Talent than me you might be smarter than me but if we get on the treadmill together right there's two things you're getting off first or I'm going to die it's really that simple you know everywhere I look around the game I see lesser versions of myself people trying to implement our way of thinking which is the correct way of thinking so I respect that but at the end of the day it is just a water down version of myself so I I respect it but I cannot fear it you love me

because I'm Kobe because I'm a five-time champion because I'm one of the greatest to step on the the court but you shouldn't you should hate me hate me because I gave you 400 a.m. cuz I pushed you the no one else would hate me cuz I demanded greatness and greatness demands everything love me when you become greater you have to be crazy enough to think that it's possible that's how you do something worthwhile that's how you beat the odds you have to believe it's possible okay and when you believe something is possible everything else will

figure itself out it's personal it's personal it's person it's person it's person it's personal personal so many people doubted me and motivated me every single day to be who I am I faed so many times and got back up but I'm still standing I'm just confident in my ability and in my mind frame I know I know nobody can tell me that I I moved to same as any of these guys because I don't move the same I move differently I move unique and I know I move unique not only that I speak unique I

act unique I'm just different than these people I just feel different to these on another level on another playing field than any of them before me that's why I know I have no doubt in my mind that I'm the great that I will be the greatest of all time in my in my head already I am better than everybody there's a lot of hate come from people you know but I know and and I will prove you give me time and I will prove it to to everybody nobody has my mindset he said you know

the difference between Champions and everyone else and I was like what he said everyone always looks at them and says what do Champions have that I don't have and he said what do Champions not have that I have it's what do they lack and it's an off button they just don't stop and so in dealing with the gold medal he's like they just never stop they just can't stop everything in their life is geared towards one goal you've got to create a lot of different emotion to to heighten your sense of awareness and Focus like

for me anger was good the more I could create an enemy the more I wanted to go out and kill those guys now I knew I was going to kill him physically but man if I could just what did they say you know and did that say something like those are little little little things that can get me right in the emotional frame of mind that when I run on the field and I said let's go it was really let's go kick some that's what we were doing I can't catch a break guys get them

the away from me I can't I can't be around those guys I don't want to hear that I don't want to hear that I don't buy it cuz everybody has bad breaks I've had a ton of bad breaks but you know what I did I I stayed up yeah and I thought through it and I and I figured out what the I did wrong and then I went back it's like IED up everything I've ever done a 100 times there's no way other there's no other way to do it and I've had a bunch of

breaks everybody has but you got to realize when you have those breaks what that is it's an opportunity for you to reassess reboot get better figure out another way find another way through it's just just little challenges I love this question which is what would you do if you weren't afraid and I just I love thinking about that when I'm thinking about big life decisions like what would I do if I weren't afraid and it's usually like the big one the the bigger thing that I really want to do but I'm afraid to do it

it's like that's what I should do a lot of people can climb that mountain it's the way down that breaks them cuz that's the moment when you are truly alone and what will you do then can you summon the will to fight on through all the pain and Rise Again who are you Michael that will be the defining question of your life and I think you already know the answer there's this line that I heard David goggin say on Rogan and I can't remember who he was saying it to or what he said in response

to but he just said I'm David goin's B and I remember him saying it and I thought to myself like you want to be able to say that in the mirror to yourself and not laugh at yourself MH and the only way that I can do that is know that when no one's watching I work harder than when they're watching and thinking about it like that no one's watching which means now you have to work cuz other otherwise you're full of sh dude I'm out there for hours every day and no one sees what the

I'm doing no one this a great beautiful thing man everything counts everything that you do counts the biggest mistake that people make is they think that only what they want to count counts no when you read a book when you listen to an audio program when you go to a course when you go to bed early and get up early and you work it all counts and it's all going on the plus side of your Ledger but when you watch television waste time hang out fool around and so on all of that counts as well

and it's going on the negative side of your Ledger and here's an important point if what you are doing is not moving you toward your goals then it's probably moving you away from your goals I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented I viewed myself as you know slightly above average in talent and where I excel is ridiculous sickening work ethic you know while the other gu sleeping I'm working while the other guys eating I'm working you're willing to shoulder more than your responsibility of life because you you expect and demand something more of Life

Champions mentality man hoping for a good result you're demanding him a result you're going above and beyond you do more than what's normal because you want more than a normal return of life is investment you don't become Confident by shouting affirmations in the mirror but by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are outwork your self-doubt yes that's that's nailed nailed completely nailed yes once upon a time there was a young basketball player who had dreams of becoming one of the greatest basketball players of all time my name BL

I'm 17 years old I wasn't invited to parties or you know friendly friendly Gatherings on the weekend so on Fridays and Saturdays I would go to my recck room with my basketball and basically dribble myself to sleep during those lonely hours in the recck room I discovered the hunger the motivation and the desire to be the best possible basketball player that I could be he worked day and night every day for years and years and years and years and years as time went on 20 years had passed and he felt that he had accomplished all

that he set out to accomplish the grind is like you got to be there every day if you're there 3 days a week it's not as good as five you got to be there five days and five might be better than seven cuz sometimes seven you burn out you want to keep enthusiasm cuz that's a fuel enthusiasm there's something about enthusiasm that like you got to balance discipline and enthusiasm discipline's critical you have to be able to show up but you also have to enjoy the out of it and so enjoying the sh out of

it with discipline is the key I think a lot of people just they see you run and they say oh it looks so easy you really look effortless but before it gets to that point it's hard it's like hard work stay in day out sacrifice stay in day out just dying this time when you run and you just want to stop you just want to give up like to H with the son just want to go home this day when you get up and you know what you have a training today you know it's going

to be intense and like oh God I don't want to go today but you got to go and it's so hard and a lot of people don't know and you're going to fail and you're going to fail and you're going to fail and then you're going to win and that's life life without those challenges it's just existence don't just exist go live one thing important is that we all have these moments these moments in time that either make you or break you that can determine the rest of your life the rest of your life can

be determined by one simple decision 19 years ago I got 05 in to it I weighed 297 lbs I sat on this rock and I had a decision to make I wanted to quit I wanted to give up there wasn't some inspirational quote there wasn't some there wasn't nothing it was me myself and it was freezing out here I had to make a decision decision I make was to get up and keep on going that one moment changed the rest of my life you know we have a million in one excuses that we can go

through fact of the matter is we're not going to make it uh they played better than we did in the series we had opportunities wi it then go for it uh you know so have to regroup like I said next season starts right now and uh you know come back next season how much harder will you work in this offseason now to get back to the [Music] championship I pushed myself to exhaus the winners always show up they're willing to lose in order to gain big mental thing there guys this body is great as you

are as sharp as you make the Arsenal it can't do anything if you don't have confidence in yourself We All Fall Down in life the question question is who gets back up you go after and you give it all you have if you lose at least you try man we all want to read about how we can quickly get somewhere that's why the 6- minute abs and all sort of [ __ ] so powerful you may get some results from it but they're not permanent the permanent result comes from you I say it all the

time you have to suffer bro you got to stop you got to stop with all this I can't catch a break bull all the time you're complaining you could be instead hust you could be instead chasing your dream you could be instead figuring out what you're doing wrong trying to prove certain aspects of your life getting your together reading a book meditating something something and here's my best advice welcome all experiences you never know which one is going to turn everything on don't put up the walls the same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out

happiness take down the Walls go for the experience let it teach you our lives what we create are made from the decisions we make on the momentto moment basis Champions have never woken up and born into success they're created they're matured they're struggled and weathered through that effort of hard work and dedication and sacrifice to achieve that Championship status it's these moments these decisions we make on a daily basis do we get up early and go for a run do we hit the snooze button do we go that extra rep in the gym and our

body's dying we push past that all these little things are the inches that add up to be the measure a difference between first place and forever forgotten no matter where you came from no matter what part of the world no matter who your parents were no matter what your poverty level may have been may not have been no matter what you had what you didn't have all of that if you worked hard enough if you dream big enough if you were tough enough and you made yourself Tough Enough you sacrificed enough you became polished and

Savvy enough and if you made yourself and took advantage of that opportunity and got yourself ready and you were ready to behave like a champion you could get in that ring on one given night and make the world fair and have your hand lifted and be called champion of the world there's so much opportunity on the other side of being willing to persist for an extended period of time on the correct path without getting positive reinforcement from your environment and the longer you can stick with something without that positive feedback loop in terms of the

big external thing the easier the opportunities are because so few people can pursue them now it's 300 lbs trying to lose weight to get the Navy Seals my goal was to go out I had a plan my plan go out there and run four miles but guess what everybody's got a plan so they can hit in the mouth that's for Mike Tyson so when your playing fails when those both of BS get too heavy when you get knocked the down the canvas when everything falls apart in your life and your plan is up what the

you going to do there's only oneoption stay hard and that little voice comes completely drowned out and so you don't know who you are anymore and you're afraid we are so afraid of being different they're so afraid of being odd but look at all the powerful people in this world look at your celebrities in in entertainment in business and politics they're one of a kind they they have like you I hate that word but it's like a brand they're different they stand out for something that's truly different you know even Albert Einstein there's nobody else

like Einstein there's nobody like d Vinci that's where your power lies and you'll go oh but Robert those are people that were brilliant that were talented I'm not like that I don't have that well both you do have that it's just you you're it's you're not you're forgetting about it you don't want to put the effort into it you can hope you can wish you can dream you can say you're going to but the reality is until you start stacking winds day by day by day by day nothing's going to happen the game is played

one day at a time and if you have the capacity to wake up today go through the entire day do everything you're supposed to do be smart enough to figure out what the actions of a winner look like and execute on those the day is over and I'm starting over tomorrow and today I have a score of zero on the second day and at the end of the day I want to score a 100 and if you score 100 first day that means you can do it again the next day and when you do that

winning is undeniable win today I was not always this strong strong guy you see um I went through a lot of hard times in my life to get here today all I wanted to be was an uncommon man in my whole life I was not that much worse than that so I came home one day from working at a job called Eco lab where I sprayed for cockroaches made $11,000 a month weighing 00 lb and I got home and I watched a show on Discovery Channel of guys carrying boats and logs Navy still training and

I decided to make a change in my life and I called the recruiter up and he asked me these questions you had to re you had to meet a certain AE like like a certain height and weight limit I was 6'1 and 300 lb he laughed at me 7even other recruiters laughed at me one recruiter finally said come on in I'm too busy to talk to you on the phone he didn't know how much I weighed I walked in the recruiter's office and he looked at me and he said you're fat and you're black CU

I said I want to be a Navy SEAL I didn't know there only been 35 African-American Navy Seals at that time in over 70 years um he said I basically had to lose 106 lbs in less than three months because of my age I was getting too old I came back 3 months later 106 lbs lighter I'm proud of you I'm proud of you cuz I know how hard it is to take care of ourselves what's up man made it back another 24 hours down it's incredible I'm proud of you for that I just had

to get a picture of one of the next greates I'm proud of you my boy you're not supposed to have it all together you're not expected to have it all together anybody looks at you and says hey man what's wrong with you how come you don't have everything figured out they're a fool knowledge and experience and wisdom takes time wisdom comes from experience and experience takes time the more experience you have the more you learn from that experience the wiser you can get if you haven't lived long enough to have a broad enough portfolio of

EXP experience then you can't expect to have knowledge and wisdom there is a way out that there is a way to do more to get more to obtain more but I personally don't want to lose all that I've been able to get so I need to make sure that I do everything to keep it so I can't be content M so there is an understanding but I refuse to click on the switch of ah it's okay brother we take a day off manbe we get a pizza and watch the game we like that we we

love that feeling why cuz you understand man we're good bro we don't want that like this hey man no bro get your on man stop being a punk we want to be the best amongst the average people people wonder how do you stay hungry all the time because after I accomplish something I don't sit back like a lot of guys who graduate buds graduate this graduate that they get comfortable they wonder why I'm getting weak man I don't know I lost my Edge what's going on cuz once you hit the top of the mountain guess

what happened I'm good I'm good so you wonder why you're falling down now because once you top of the mountain you got to build a another one sometimes you just got to say things just for what they are just for what they are passion passion is free nobody can nobody can charge you for passion nobody can tell you what passion looks like because that's all about you effort effort is isolated the reason why effort is isolated because nobody can dictate it effort is 100% in the mind no coach no player nobody else can make you

run to the ball nobody else can make you finish a tackle nobody else can do it that's why it's the most isolated things in this earth right now is effort and when you finally figure it out how to win real battles is found through fundamentals that's what wins championships that's what wins battles blocking tackling blocking tackling until they get tired cuz you don't know what tired feels like all you got is 15 minutes can you be strong for 15 minutes can you listen your concentration weaving a little bit pick it up okay pick it up

okay that's control the outside look the fire is coming are you ready for the fire the we're firemen we are firemen got it coach the heat doesn't bother us we live in the heat we train in the heat it tells us that we're ready we're at a home where where we're supposed to be flames don't intimidate us what do we do we control the Flames we control them as a competitor uh if you're trying to do something meaningful if you don't have the mindset that you're the best ever you failed already and that's been my

mindset since I can remember that will be my mindset as long as I can remember anything that I am the best ever at what I do and every day that I step on a basketball floor I will strive to be that but my mindset will always be as such as I am the best to do what I do and that'll give me a shot at being the best but before you can ever reach anything you have to believe it you don't just mistakenly become great at something the question is do we believe we can become

it without that belief every Journey how bad do you want it there's two options to continue forward pushing upward and if you do that dream is given birth and forever you will live in the reality of it if you stop quit throw in the to I promise you there's no distance you can travel far enough to find that dream again for it it's dead and in its death is replaced by regret right now it's your choice I failed it's 10 times more a man and someone said what if cuz what if never went to the

arena when you guys find a fear that fear will either create you or destroy you I love fear and the reason why behind every fear is the person you want to be fear is self-imposed meaning it doesn't exist you create it you can destroy it too it's an intangible if you face your fears guys you will realize it's not that big and once you face it you got my God man I spent all this time running from it it was so small if I just faced it my God not only did I face it I

be beat it back energy is never lost transferred that negative energy that fear is destroyed it comes back in his confidence like what else am I what else am I capable of what else am I hold my back from that I'm capable of more where am I running from I don't need to what else can I overcome you face your fears you become the person you want to be you run from your fears you're not living you're alive but you're not thinking the freedom through this through through discipline through self-discipline through repetition through tons of

repetition the same thing that you don't want to do that's that's the key thing through repetition of things you don't want to do you develop mental like like an armor for your mind start to armor your mind your mind's like okay we suffer we suffer every day it's what we do we do stuff that sucks every day so then when the suck stuff comes you're ready for it discipline is rooted in the truth we tell ourselves because if you tell yourself the truth if you tell yourself the truth and the truth is I'm not happy

with where I'm at that's the truth the truth is I can do more the truth is I can be in better shape the truth is I can work harder than I'm working right now the truth is I can do more for my family the truth is I can do much better than I'm doing right now and if that's the real truth if that's what you believe if you believe that to be the truth you won't have to find more discipline discipline will find you when you have emotional maturity you realize that some days you're not

going to sleep well some days you're going to wake up and you've got your schedule and everything's planned out and the pits the fan you got to eat those sandwiches right and whether things go well or not that day the emotionally mature man will still do what he has to do to stack his winds to focus on his purpose whereas the emotionally immature man will say well I didn't sleep well I had nightmares so I'll stay in bed I didn't sleep well or uh it's raining outside it's cold outside I don't feel good the I

just woke up in the airplanes hit the World Trade Center so I guess I have to change my pattern of life you have to stay the course no matter what and it takes a high level of emotional maturity because your emotions dictate your motion like what you're going to do and so if you have emotional maturity you're more likely to lean into discipline when things are suboptimal if you lack emotional maturity then how you feel determines what you do next which is very damaging to outcome
