Execute. Execute on the things that you said you were going to execute on.

Kobe said, why would I pass the ball to you when you haven't even trained properly?

I just always went like, why am I man hogging a ball? He's like, yo, why would I have confidence in somebody who's getting to the gym late?

Who's leaving early? We lose it. Doesn't seem to care that we lose it. Why would I give the ball to you when I'm like, yo, genius?

My whole career is contingent upon what you do and what you don't do. Yeah, I'm taking this.

That shift my thought process because I'm like, here I am judging from the outside. Why aren't you being a better teammate?

But the real question is, why aren't you being a better teammate by seeing my energy and matching my energy?

Because we don't have the same team with the same goals.

We have the ability to no matter what our circumstances are, get better.

Well, you don't know me. If you knew me in 2002, you don't know Eric Thomas. That was the 5.0 version.

This is the 14. This is the ET 14. You don't know who I am. And I would just say to people, yes, it takes a lot of work to become a new model.

But it also takes a lot of work to suck to be average. It takes a lot of work to do that as well.

There are a group of people that feel like it's okay not to execute because I'm not feeling okay.

Because today is not a good day because all the stars didn't line up.

Despite this happening, I owe it to myself to still be the person that I dreamed of being and this setback will only be a setup for a comeback.

We owe it to the people who follow us to not stay where we are, but to take it to that next level.

Being in a room with somebody who's executed and operated on a high level, and I much whether put in the work and live this experience.

Yo, we have opportunity. You have an opportunity of a lifetime. Whatever you do, don't waste it. Get up and go make it happen.

You're already in pain. Get a reward for it.

So why would you go through all that pain and not get something for it?

To put all those hours in and not transfer those hours to something else. It doesn't make sense.

Not to recycle the pain and get wealth or a successful life or successful spouse, like whatever it is.
