Second-year NFL quarterback Russell Wilson recently told reporters that over the off-season, he watched tape of every single throw Drew Brees ever made in the NFL.
Wilson (5’11”) decided spending hundreds of hours studying Brees (6’0″), one of the most successful quarterbacks ever and a player with a similar throwing style, was a worthwhile endeavor.
Russell Wilson didn’t just dream about becoming like Drew Brees; his admiration prompted hard work.
Becoming the best doesn’t just happen accidentally. You can’t fake your way to it, and you won’t wake up one morning with superpowers.
Read every single book in your area. Watch every documentary, read the articles and case studies, and interview experts in the field. Pour yourself into it if you want to become good.
Don’t expect to become an expert or thought-leader unless you are willing to put in the work.
