It is the grit that sustains a lot of the long-term success.

People look at people like Michael Phelps

and they say, well, he's got God-given talent.

Yes, I mean, he's got a wing span of an avatars,

and he's built like a perfect swimmer could be.

But if he doesn't spend the seven hours a day in a pool,

every day from when he's nine to when he's 22,

he doesn't win what he wins.

He's winning because of his grit and his tenacity.

He's winning because of his competitiveness,

and because he is the one that's patient enough

to overcome the tough days in the pool.

I think a lot of people have a hard time coming up short.

And when people come up short time and time again,

it's easier to say, I don't have the God-given talent

than it is to say, I'm gonna try to persevere through this.

What confidence has nothing to do with winning

or the leaderboard, what confidence is,

knowing that you, Jimmy, your best efforts is enough.

Hello, Ben.

Hello, Patrick.

How you doing?
