I’ve never worked harder than I have while in Mongolia. Yes there were times that were extremely tough like when I sat out the whole 4th quarter of our 1st playoff game, angry at myself, the coach, and wanting to go back home.

But I sucked it up and just worked harder the next game and killed. You see every great player knows that through hardwork and dedication anything is possible. Look at Floyd Mayweather, the highest paid athlete in the world with a net worth of 500 Million Dollars. His main motto that he truly believes got him to where he is now 49-0 as one of the greatest fighters ever is none other than: Hardwork and Dedication. As I said in my previous posts, he trains like he’s poor because he’s so hungry and wants to be the greatest. He wakes up at odd times and runs for 15-20 miles at a time to stay in shape. He chops wood to add variety to his workouts, he does situps until they hurt and then some. He hits the speed bag, heavy bag, makes his sparring partners bloody in the face because of how hard he goes. Through hardwork and dedication he has become one of the greatest fighters to have ever lived.

Now, lets look at Bruce Lee, one of my idols. This man worked furiously on his body and technique to make sure he was the best martial artist and fighter in the world. Bruce was so conscious of his diet and eating healthy. In fact, he drank 6 raw eggs every morning. As for working out, his wife said that he would do splits while watching tv, eating food, and reading a health magazine. He was dedicated to his craft. He studied the game. His mentality and understanding of martial arts was on another level. He was so into philosophy that even to this day millions around the world still are in awe of his mind, are inspired by his simple yet profound ways of communicating kung fu, and admire his power, technique, physique and legendary work ethic. The man was superhuman and he even says it was insane amounts of hardwork and dedication that allowed him to become the master that he was.

Check out this video about a guy who writes a letter to “Hardwork” in the form of a video called “Dear Hardwork”:

Lastly, my man E.T. Eric Thomas the Preacher. He’s all about hardwork.

Check out his video on hardwork and dedication called “How Bad Do You Want It?”:

So, how bad do you want it? You got to want to become a Professional Basketball Player more than you want to breathe.

Get out there and put in work! With hardwork and dedication anything is possible! Without it, nothing is! Rise and Grind!
