“There is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.”
“There is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.”
— Winston Churchill
Every top athlete has one thing in common.
It’s not talent. It’s not their coach. It’s not their gym. It’s not their genetics.
It’s resilience.
The ability to get hit and keep going.
The ability to lose and not break.
The ability to be told no, told you’re not good enough, told to quit — and respond by working harder the next day.
Talent gets you noticed. Resilience gets you signed.
I’ve watched athletes with twice my talent quit at 17 because the road got hard. I’ve watched athletes half as gifted as me make it overseas because they refused to stop.
Here’s the truth nobody wants to hear:
The road to playing at the next level is brutal. You will be cut from teams. Coaches will ignore your emails. You’ll have games where you make zero impact and walk off the field questioning everything. You’ll watch teammates get offers before you.
The kid who breaks at that point doesn’t make it.
The kid who DARES and ENDURES does.
There’s no ease at the top. Every athlete you admire has a chapter of their story where everything was going wrong and they kept going anyway.
That chapter is the one you’re writing right now.
Don’t quit it.
— Coach Owen
