I missed 9000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games and missed the shot to win the game 26 times.
Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.
The minute you get away from fundamentals โ whether its proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation โ the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever youโre doing.
I wasn't really a work conscious type of person.
It's a habit of mine now, noticing labels, logos, shoes.
You know what I think? Very few people play because they love the game. Most of them play because they make good money. They keep playing because of the money. I could care less about it. If I don't love the game, no check is going to keep me playing.
