No Talent, No Problem

Today’s episode comes from an Instagram post I saw maybe a month or so ago from Ben Bergeron. If you haven’t heard of Ben Bergeron, he’s the owner of CrossFit New England. He’s trained a ton of great athletes, and his book Chasing Excellence is one of my favorites. What I love about him is the effort that he puts into the mental side of sports and life.

So the post…here it is

10 Things that require zero talent
from @benbergeron

Being on time
Work ethic
Effort
Body language
Energy
Attitude
Passion
Being coachable
Doing extra
Being prepared

I look at this list and think about how awesome my life and results could be if I committed to throwing myself into these things. Not relying on talent that I don’t have but on work that I can do. It’s so easy to make excuses, to think that someone is more talented or skilled, or was given more, or was just born with mad skills. But the truth is, if you focused on this list…these 10 things that require zero talent, your life would probably look much different.

Effort matters.
Work matters.
Little things matter.

"How you do anything is how you do everything."

Find the things that don’t require talent…And get to freaking work!

Enjoy!
