About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of properly applying effort in the right areas to achieve success, using running examples to illustrate common pitfalls among athletes.
Effort is important, the key to success lies in properly applying that effort in the right areas, rather than simply working hard in general. He used running examples to illustrate how athletes often fail to reach their goals not because of insufficient effort, but because they're applying effort in the wrong places or getting distracted by uncontrollable factors in their environment.
