Notes/Observation
Ideas are commonplace; execution is rare. There is no one path to success, and everyone’s path is different. Yet speed of implementation is one of the common characteristics that separates highly effective doers from dreamers. To effectively design our lives we must get things done in the present, not develop the habit of deferring things to the future.

Marcel Dicke: Why not eat insects?

Tim Grover —Relentless
Quick notes from book
"That's how you become unstoppable - by placing no limits on yourself. Not just in sports, but in everything you do." - Tim Grover
Bottom line if you want success of any kind; you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable.
Stop thinking and stop waiting. You already know what to do.
The more you take on, the more powerful you feel. You don't get to be the best at anything without blistering confidence and an impenetrable shell.
Best analogy from this book;
Cleaners, Closers and Coolers
Coolers can have an amazing game.
Closers can have an amazing season.
Cleaners have amazing careers.
