"I don't fear the man who has learned 10,000 kicks; I fear the man who has practiced the same kick 10,000 times" - Bruce Lee
A key lesson is these people never forget the need to keep practicing their foundational skills whilst also extending their range. Slow is smooth; smooth is fast - a lesson from special forces, martial arts, music schools like Suzuki. They do the ordinary, extraordinarily well.
We discuss mindset, psychopathy and genius, talent and graft, determination and motivation, conditioning and intuition. Genuinely one of the most fun, engaging, challenging, and remarkable interviews I've done in a long stream of very satisfying and insightful conversations.
I absolutely understand why the world's very best seek him out as their coach. You will too. Have a listen. Follow him on linkedin.com/in/fergusconnolly
