“When you focus on the past, that’s your ego.
When I focus on the future, it’s my pride.
Focus on the moment, in the present. That’s humility.”
99.8% of athletes never play professionally.
I’ve spent hours studying the .2% who do.
Here’s what I learned:
“When you focus on the past, that’s your ego.
When I focus on the future, it’s my pride.
Focus on the moment, in the present. That’s humility.”
“Luck has nothing to do with it.
I have spent countless hours on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.” — Serena Williams
Hard work + talent leads to opportunity.
Love this from Usain Bolt:
“Easy is not an option...
Talent you have naturally, but skill is only developed by hours and hours of work.”
Focusing your time and effort effectively is much more likely to make you successful.
Example: Leo Messi walks 83% of a soccer game.
The other 17% makes him the best player in the world.
Oddly, athletes seem to perform best when it feels like they don’t care.
When you care too much you get tight and suddenly easy things become difficult.
Have some fun.
Gold from Alex Caruso:
“A big reason guys get stuck in the G League... they don’t realize the position they’re trying out for.
It’s like going to a job interview thinking you’re going to be the CFO, and they’re looking for someone to clean the bathrooms.”
Momentum is hard to describe. But when you’ve got it, you’ll know.
How to build it:
Do small things exceptionally well.
Let small things become big things.
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” — Mike Tyson
Katie Ledecky on avoiding complacency:
“I approach every single race with the attitude that I can break world records. I’m going to step up and throw down.”
The best coaches & teammates call you out on your bullsh*t.
They don’t accept mediocrity or even average.
Instead of getting upset, listen to the feedback and apply it.
LeBron spends $1.5 million each year taking care of his body.
Not saying you can do that. But you can:
- Exercise
- Go outside
- Eat well
- Sleep

I write about sports, storytelling, and their intersection.
Optimists win.
If you think you can’t win — you’ve already lost.
If you believe you can win — you’ve got a chance.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
