You Get Out What You Put In

“Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you.”

‘Michael Jordan’


I’m a massive Michael Jordan fan (in case you didn’t know this about me) he believed that he would get out of the game exactly what he put into it.

If you don’t completely trust the game – if you think it’s “unfair” or “rigged” – then deep-down you’re not going to feel motivated to give it everything you have. With that attitude, you’ve lost before you even begin.

Whether in life, business, training or basketball, you get out what you put in. Trust in this:


“If you do the work, you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.”

‘Michael Jordan’


“Failure makes me work even harder.”

‘Michael Jordan’


Jordan wasn’t always a winner.

The first time he got to the NBA playoffs, his Bulls were knocked out in the first round. The next two years, they were swept by the Boston Celtics. After that, the Bulls were beat by the Detroit Pistons three years in a row.

All Jordan knew was failure. But it only made him want to be better. He’s said, 


“Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”


That's the attitude I embrace with my life - a fighter, a hard worker, I don’t stop, I’m always looking for ways to be the best -my best. I Fight and work very hard to be where I am, I love competition as it makes me fight harder, I always win  (even) if I fail I look at it as a win because that’s how we learn right!? Failure makes me get back up and fight harder!! I want to  try to instil this with those I work with and care about. Because it's the only way to win. Win your workouts, win in business, win in life. 

You gotta go hard. 

That's how I want you to approach your workouts for the rest of this year. Go in with that raw desire to dominate. Attack the workout  with an unmatched ferocity. Just hard work. You vs you. The kind of hard work that leads to huge success. 

Who's fired the f*#k up to train? I know I am!!
