Do hard shit. Not because it’s fun. But because the win actually means something. You bled for it. You broke for it. You fucking earned it. Easy wins are forgettable. Hard ones change you. That’s the point.

DeMar DeRozan explains how Gregg Popovich treated basketball as almost the least important part of coaching
“There used to be days… We’d come in there thinking we had practice… But Coach Pop would show us Something going on in a third-world country… With 13-year-old kids being trained… To be killers with AK-47s.”
“He would say, we get to come here… and shoot a basketball… Make millions of dollars… Take care of your kids.”
“He used to do a lot of things… To put stuff in perspective all the time. That’s genuinely who he was… At all times.”
“It was always basketball last. You as a man first. Family, everything else before basketball.”
“He would tell us, this basketball stuff ain’t nothing. F— wins and losses. F— championships. What’s really important is: How are you doing? How’s your family? How are your kids?”
If you’re a guy in your 30s who still gets excited about a new game, LEGO set, football match, D&D session or whatever hobby makes you feel like a kid again…
Don’t let anyone convince you growing up means giving it up.
