You donโt get very far in this sport on your own, and you sure donโt stay at the top end of it alone. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐. They shape how you think on the hard days, how you prepare when nobody is watching, the behind-the-scenes work that often goes without recognition, and the standard you start to accept for yourself.
Itโs not just about talent or opportunity. Itโs about who is ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ to be better, who is holding you ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐๐๐ฅ๐ when it would be easier to coast, and who is willing to ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก even when itโs not what you want to hear.
In the end, the people you surround yourself with are either ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ your standard or ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ it, and thatโs what ultimately determines where you go.
