“The goal was always so much larger than the pain I was dealing with, or the stress. The idea of not pushing forward wasn’t even there…. I ultimately think success in any large goal comes down to your ability to endure over the long term. Perseverance. Resilience. I think extending the time horizon—people always talk about hacks and quick wins, and how can you shorten the timeline. And ultimately I think that leads to maybe a quick win here or there, but not longevity. And in business and in sport, the careers are built on longevity. And that really comes down to a mindset because all along that path, on anything worth doing, there’s just so many ups and downs and sideways.”
