Ben Affleck says you have to abandon everyone around you in order to achieve greatness

"when you see Michael Jordan like what does it mean to be great? and how's like touch everybody? and change everybody"

"to truly be great at something you have to almost abandon everything...I've seen that in various ways like in that kind of just personal study. I haven't seen anybody who I think like qualifies for that who who didn't also seem to be really suffering"

"I find that really fascinating like people who are great at something and the mystery of like what is that like? and what is that do to your life? and how did you get that way?"

It's the Jim Ryun beating Snell moment.

Cooper defeats the Olympic and World Champion.

The best 800m runner on the planet right now is a high school kid. Simply phenomenal.

This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:

“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

At the 1972 Olympics, Frank Shorter won the marathon.

His training partner, Kenny Moore said, “All this time I thought the Olympic champion was someone incredibly special.”

Frank replied: “And then you found out—it was only me.”

a reminder that branding matters.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

It's fascinating to see what people think is "fast"

The guy down the street thinks sub 3 hour marathon is elite

The recreational runner thinks sub 2:30 is elite.

The former college runner thinks everyone slower than 2:20 is recreational.

It's all relative.
