Marvin Hagler once said: "It's tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5am when you're sleeping in silk pyjamas"... the mindset separates the great from the best of all time

That's what the movie Rocky was about....he had more heart than talent, and that became his talent...

Cam Hanes said it best... "Make friends with pain and you'll never be alone". Great interview!

“I invented Goggins” Everyone needs to invent their own Goggins!

They hit the nail on the head here. I’m a boxer and I’ve realized fighting of any genre exposes the most out of someone mentally. It happens to every fighter, when you getting your ass kicked and just pummeled. You have a true ass conversation with yourself in those moments and really fight yourself as much as the person across from you

Kobe and Jordan are good examples of talent+mental strength.

The best thing about MMA is how you can literally see the fighter go to hell by the third round of almost every fight. Battered, bruised and exhausted. Battling their own threshold of pain and exhaustion as much as they are battling their opponent. They can quit at any time, but don’t. In almost every other sport you don’t see the internal battle in nearly the same way. Usain bolt(in the thumbnail) shows up on race day, wins, and celebrates making the whole thing look easy. His internal battles are on the training track without the cameras every single day, evidently he didn’t give up.

This is actually really uplifting.

That’s why Rhonda could never come back. Once she got knocked out she never recovered.

Prime example of this is CR7..... Strength of his mind and his hardwork and dedication is unmatched!!!!

this is why distance running is a good process for all to try if healthy enough.....you need to go past your "engine empty" then you go on you won't give up...................then train in pouring rain and snow and icy days.....see it as a gift to accept.......

Live in the deep end. Thrive in it.

Pure gold. Love you guys🦾🔝😉🔥

I just now figured something out and now mindset has changed its so much about hard work anymore but it is all about my mindset and get rid of that negative mindset

David your a legend gang. 💯💯🤝

That’s it. There are people who have a lot of talent, but they all eventually get to that mental point where it’s all about your belief and your mental strength. You can only go so far with only talent. After that, it’s pure will and hard work. But then, once in a while you’ve got those specimen who combine both perfectly. The Jordans, The Tysons, The Phelps, The Messis, The Bolts. „Hard work beats talent, until talent decides to work hard.“

Dustin Pedroia is a great example (midget turned MVP and multi time World Series champ)

Dammm this is mind blowing!!!!!

I hear you Goggins brother, and nobody will deny your stupendous mental strength. But here’s the issue: people often make this assumption that routine and dogged persistence = mental strength. But it doesn’t necessarily. In your case, I think it unequivocally has. But you had to outgrow enormous adversity, weren’t born with enormous talent in your pursuits, and have pushed yourself past the limits which most people would have quit at, many more times than once. But let’s say I get up and hit the gym 2 hours a day. First 2 weeks sucks because of DOMS, right? Plus I probably haven’t adjusted my sleeping schedule yet, and my body needs to “catch up” to the increase in training volume and to boot up a gear for the increased demand of muscle synthesis and repair. So those first two weeks suck, and take *a lot* of willpower. Not to mention that whatever I’m lifting is beyond my comfort zone, because either I haven’t lifted before (so it’s new to my body), or *I have* lifted before but I’ve fallen out of specific adaptation through a prolonged break from training. Either way, the demand on my body means I’m really mentally drained after a session, right? Fast-forward 6 months. It kinda doesn’t matter how hard I’m pushing mentally to maximise the repetitions or weight pushed over a training session, because the body has deeply physiologically adapted to the training routine- at the level of sleep, androgen production, other hormones, my immune system and nervous system, and my energy and anabolic systems. Therefore, no matter how intensely I train, I *cannot* possibly recapture the intensity of those initial few weeks back in the gym. And this is precisely why athletic programs will aspire to consistently introduce novel stimuli which present avenues for novel adaptation, by “shaking things up” maximally to allow for the maximum amount of adaptation. But even then, there are only so many ways novel stimuli can be introduced that force the entire body to re-adapt continually. In other words, you will adapt, and thereby the mental load will diminish over time. This is like anything in life. Anything pursued consistently will have to have diminishing returns in its mental demand given the tendency to adaptation, at any task or endeavour of any kind over sufficient periods of time. This is where non-consistency comes in: By constantly “shaking things up” and *not* abiding routine, provided you get after it with sufficient internal force, and give it 100%, the amount of mental energy you will be able to exert will always be greater, meaning a greater total exertion of willpower (and a greater total 100%) than were you to simply adhere to routine. But because we conflate willpower with consistency, which we often take as a direct marker for discipline (as opposed to a corollary), we assume that the person who shows the greatest consistency must have exerted the greatest amount of willpower. If, however, you frame things the way I described above, you might begin to make the mental separation and realise that willpower is just that: willpower. It can only really be felt by the individual, and although it does indeed appear to correlate with consistency, it isn’t a perfect correlation. That being said, I think that people do deeply and intuitively recognise those who’ve exerted the greatest degree of Willpower, and respond to them with something like awe, fear, or a deep and helpless respect. I’m yet to understand how this might work physically of course, but it’s another intuition that’s crossed my mind lately.

ROCK LEE!!!’

Can’t believe I never thought of this principle before.

It isn’t how you start, it is how you finish.

Anyone else think of the McGregor vs Diaz fight during this discussion?

Irish Micky ward toughness!!

This is what is going on in hajime no ippo with the main character lol. Ippo went as far as his talent took him. Now he has to re enter with the trained mind

When you have both talent and mental strength, you're a legend. Like Michael Jordan. Or Dave Chappelle.

Sounded like joe was talking about Conor McGregor

Nate Diaz is one of them dudes

Hard work beats natural talent when natural talent doesn't work hard.

but the real question is to how train that mental strength they are talking about ?

The mind is a muscle. If you think different then why does everyone always use that the hardest and flex on that?

I have talent, but i never worked hard, and now it’s probely too late…

Kabib is not as big as ppl say, he quit early and never let ppl have the chance to take the title

He looks the way he did 4 yrs ago wow

thats mc gregor in nutshell lol

David Goggins should do MMA

Jon jones is when talent and mental strength mix

Joe Rogan has no idea, he thinks they are having a conversation about fighting while Goggins is talking about swimming

People that say you don’t need to be talented to do what you want is the biggest bs ever 😂

Tiger Woods after enjoying the libertine Life....

i wish my dome was as shiny and beautiful as Gog's.

Aka professional sports. Everybody is talented. Not everybody is mentally strong

Talent always beat hard work that's the dark fact if you see in boxing there is plenty of boxers who put in hard work and they still lost there is some of them they get serious injury and they didn't achieve anything another example of talent and it's not about sport if you see the people who do comedy like mr bean or other comedian people they have pure talent you can't tell someone who can't make a joke to become a comedian the whole point is follow your talent not your dream

Floyd Mayweather Jr?

❤

David goggins has so much mental toughness, he will be exposed as a fake natty, even after the rock and mike o tren.

“Any day hard work beats talent”

I am going to outlook everybody and anybody and I mean everybody and anybody I don't anything special I just show up and show out what about work outworking

Joe's trying to sell Goggins on fighting so hard. Cmon David time to get in the cage!

Goggins in the process destroyed his knees and legs (see latest podcast with Rogan) - so copying him is an one way road to destroying your body early . Great athletes stay healthy

Floyd mayweather is talent plus mental strength and discipline

hmmm another "clip" channel stealing jre content......

Goggins main talent is talking non stop BS....

The only talented person who became most successful are Andrew Tate and his brother ngl!!

This guy gives me liver kings vibes (liar)
