Someone on IG asked me what I learned from working with professional athletes
The truth is?
Not much
Most normies look up to pro athletes because they’re celebrities - in the spotlight, super talented, “cool”
But really, their ability to play sport has absolutely 0 correlation to them as a human
Athletes are people just like you and me. They have flaws, strengths, family troubles, vices, etc
I don’t have a lot to look up to in terms of being a pro athlete lol
But the people I learned an enormous amount from are the executives & entrepreneurs I’ve worked with
I wish I could name drop, but there are some people that you couldn’t pay to get in a room with, and I’d see them 3-5x a week for months on end
I got to hear stories of their struggles, successes, how they problem solved, approach to business
As an entrepreneur, I would attribute much of my position today to the clients I’ve worked with
When I had an idea/question, they’d take time to sit with me and go through it
