I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.

You don't show up on game day and expect to be great. Greatness happens _x000D_ in practice. You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
Interpretation
Greatness requires consistent practice and self-expectation.
This quote by Michael Jordan emphasizes that achieving greatness doesn't occur spontaneously; it stems from dedication and persistent effort in practice. To accomplish remarkable feats, one must hold themselves to high standards and have the belief that they will succeed, which is fundamental to the journey of any achievement.
In practice
During a sports workshop, to inspire young athletes about the importance of practice.
I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.
There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I couldn't dog it during practice and then, when I needed that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. Very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Don't be like me. Be better than me. That's the goal.
Success isn't something you chase. It's something you have to put forth the effort for constantly. Then maybe it'll come when you least expect it. Most people don't understand that.
Motivations are too tangled and complex.
Doing is better than not doing, and if you do something badly you'll learn to do it better.
Whatever course you have chosen for yourself, it will not be a chore but an adventure if you bring to it a sense of the glory of striving.
Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
I expect to maintain this contest until successful, or till I die, or am conquered, or my term expires, or Congress or the country forsakes me.
If the work is high and far, _x000D_ You must not only aim aright, _x000D_ But draw the bow with all your might.
