He stayed back in the pocket.
The game was way too fast for him, and he didn't know what to do.
When any entrepreneur first starts his business, he's got happy feet.
He's reacting to things, has no idea what to do, and tends to basically stay on what I call the treadmill of money: $1 comes in, $2 come out. $2 come in, $4 come out.
In life, everything that's worth doing in life is going to take time.
You can't just go out on a Saturday afternoon, approach three women and fail, and say to yourself, "I'm never going to do this again."
That is why losers lose and winners win.
If everything in life was easy, whether it's meeting women or making money or being an NFL quarterback, wouldn't everybody be doing it?
If life was so easy and you didn't have to work for things and research and work on yourself, wouldn't the world be cancer-free?
There'd be no economy hardship because everybody would be wealthy.
If all you had to do was read a book and then you could go out and meet a woman instantly, then there'd be no coaches out there. The world would be perfect. Everybody would be hooking up left and right.
Everybody would be wealthy.
Everybody would be cancer-free.
There'd be no problems in the world.
But human beings are flawed. We come from a long line of flawed programming, thanks to our parents and our grandparents and everybody else in our lives.
If you truly desire to be great at something, you've got to lose the poor-me attitude. You can't just go out and try something once and expect it to work. You need to go out there every single day, all day long, and do it over and over and over again.
You ask any professional athlete that's ever been successful, and they'll tell you what made them successful: practicing over and over and over again.
There was a great story about Kobe Bryant or one of the basketball players. And they asked him, "How did you get good at this?"
He said that as a kid, he would go home and shoot the same shot over and over and over again until he got it right. Then, he'd move an inch and go shoot the same ball into the net over and over and over again until he got that angle right.
And then he'd do it again and again and again.
In life, winners win because they practice. Losers basically quit and say, "Poor me, poor me. I can't do this. I can't meet women. Poor me, I'm just not good at this."
