What Separates Good from Great

In the world of athletics, there are way more average athletes then there are great athletes, I call it the 10-80-10. The upper 10% are the great ones or the game-breakers, the 80% are those who are good enough to play (some better than others, about a 50/50 split) and the lower 10% are hanging on by a thread. Some people don’t want to be great and that’s okay, but they want ALL the benefits that come along with greatness. So when people complain about the lack of ‘greatness’ in their lives, I tell them it’s a simple case of cause and effect. You haven't achieved greatness because you don't put in the work and effort to earn the rewards that greatness requires. Greatness is truly a mindset first and then the work and effort second. Take a 10-minute Time-Out and with pen and paper, take note of what Coach Gord has to say about the mindset of being great.
