In order to get maximum benefits from watching this video, ask yourself, how do I apply this knowledge to my own life?
I ❤ no hi 5:11 o no no no😅😅 no no no
Thank you, man. For the reminder.
First step to becoming an elite athlete is loving the sport. You need motivation and hardwork. These simple steps will lead you to becoming one of the greatest.
Thats not true my friend
@Zachariya Un i agree with you on everything Except.. to be THAT great you need a lot of talent and genetics on your side. You cant acheive as much as messi ronaldo etc on only hard work and loving the sport unfortunately
@Zachariya Un u Said that those simple steps Will lead you to one of the greatest? No, its not debatable..i study för sport psychologist, i know what I talk about when it comes to genes, sports etc.. for example.. just so u understand what I mean.. reaction time cant be enhanced because its innate, you can ofcourse train you reaktion pattern and train the muscles to do some movement faster, such as in fotball.. but fotball is such a complex sport and every game is different, its very hard to train every aspect of that game or enhance your reaction time when it comes new situations on the pitch.. Only the same situation can be trained and therefor it looks like you have trained your reaktion time, but you havent.. You only train for that specific situation
@Zachariya Un indeed brother
Dana Ali First there is a big gap between an elite athlete, and being one of the greatest. Many pro athletes get to where they are just based on physical(size) attributes with some athleticism. Great athletes, the best in their sport have everything in place.
There is lots involved. First off you need to define elite. People these days are using the word elite in youth sports.
Does elite mean better than most at your level of competition or in your age class? Is it being a pro athlete or to be elite do you have to be at the very top of your sport playing professionally?
I personally don’t believe the word elite belongs outside the realm of pro sports. Use promising or good or up and coming or whatever but elite is a small group. Then super elite is the very best of a particular sports’ players.
Yes this takes genetics, uncommon passion, hard work, good coaches, luck plays a role as well. Sometimes injury just kills a promising athlete’s potential career.
But genetics must be in place for sure. And it’s not just the physical but the mental and emotional make-up of the player. The awareness, maturity and willingness to adapt to situations and problems, to improve and over-come and keep pushing. The willingness to live with discomfort and pain, and the willingness to sacrifice many personal or family events. It’s way beyond a job. It’s a fanatical purpose to specialize in what you are striving for.But I do believe that the physical genetics of great elite athletes plays a huge role in how much passion that player will have for the sport. It’s much easier to be motivated when you are bigger, faster or stronger than your peers.
4 Tenets (meaning: a principle or belief, especially one of the main principles of a religion or philosophy.) :
7:52 1) Working on your fundamentals and strengths: You have to make it personal, and you have to base it upon the principles of fundamentals
8:41 2) Repitition, Repitition, Repitition.
8:50 3) Stretch your abilities: Get out of your comfort zone.
9:20 4) You need feedback.
Playing football in hs I was terrible as a freshman and sophomore. I began to train and actually watch highlights of some smaller quicker players in college and the nfl. Studying their moves I would zone in so much that I would be moving my body without even noticing. My junior year I advanced so much I got most improved and it wasn’t due to a growth spurt or anything genetic. Visualization helped me greatly and I didn’t even notice it.

Brilliant example
Aim should be to maximise ones potential. .then if you don't make it to the elite level at least you have maximised your talent
But did you start?
i am an outsider in america interested in the sport am a freshmen barely know the rules
Lmao this about to be my life story
A warm and friendly man delivering beautiful and stirring stories to illustrate a profound truth!
Love how honestly and earnestly he delivers his stories. You’ll notice little hiccups that make him even more genuine. Loved the message and the delivery. Great job.
Best product placement ever.
The golf story was great. I found myself playing air tennis during the pandemic [I've never played better] and found that when I stepped on the court over the summer my movements/ strokes were on point. Wild stuff.
I would like to bring some clarity to some of the discussions and reference the study quoted "Innate gifts do not determine success" The study is just not about athletics, we all have natural gifts like singing, acting, writing, being a carpenter or being a surgeon. What the message is elite athletes are able to do something we can all learn from that is "deliberate practice" and the 3 principles that force themselves out of their comfort zones. - not just hard work. I think you all can think of elite athletes not blessed with overwhelming gifts or genetics but are elite and compete at the highest levels. Can we all not learn from them and develop our own natural gifts.
Greatest comment was about tracking into the future and come backing and then just producing the shot.
He's not lying I do that...i do the visualization in Basketball...i be thinking where the spot I'd like to get to then imagine what Moves I'll use to get by you...especially 1v1...i used to play every single day in elementary espically from 4th to 6th grade
So what happened?
Really like this message of vision
Thank you
Thanks a lot Sir. You really inspired me.....
He should visualize that cold away.
Glorified Truth 😂😂😂
Glorified Truth he probably had flu or something.
ROASTED
Well that is a bit easier said then done. Takes a few days
Your barber should have visualized a better hair cut
The perfect video on elite athletes thank u so much just perfect
Good for motivation...and learning about the concept of Deliberate Practice.
Thank you sir. well done
Probably one the best TED talks ever! Big lessons to be learned here!
Beautiful. Absolutely True.
Very good.
Visualization could be effective to improve our performance regardless of fields. I will give it a shot because we never know unless we try. In addition, deliberate practice requires a clear goal, concentration, feedback and getting out of confort zone. I try to practice something in my discomfort zone.
how was it
yes! that is some fundamental and universal concept of nature.
this video deserves more views
That was beautiful thank you
Thank you sir!
Thank you for this!!!
I'm going to Run My Race Sung My Song & Tell My Story!!
Thank you.
Certainly genetics matter, but I see a lot of guys with good genetics playing pickup at the Y. Elite athletes make it further because of the the characteristics he describes.
This ted talk 👏
incredible.
Great statement!
Thanks for your positive feedback
Kenn Dickinson kenn is a legend
Very true! It works
Based on the times Sham was the second fastest horse of the century. Any other year a triple crown winner. Both horses had hearts twice the size of a normal thoroughbred, around 20 lbs.
"he is moving like a tremendous machine" - announcer calling Secretariat in the Belmont
was reading up on Secretariat - It's got an account that the horse was noted for being exceptionally well-balanced, a big, powerful horse described as having "nearly perfect" conformation and stride biomechanics. So it's not completely training and visualisation... he horse was a freak also..
I think it's true what this man says.
But I think the very first thing you need, before even doing any sport or starting in any activity, is believing you can!! Because if you believe you can improve and be successful, then you will be willing to do the hard work, and will do it... And you will also do it easier.... Whereas if you believe there's no chance, then you will fell more lazy, less motivated and will practice less.... And then you wi have bad results.
Thiese kind of talks have the amazing effect of reminding us that we can and that there are ways to achieve success!!?
no confidence leads to excuses!
Awesome story about the golfer
Talent is the product of hard work
As a result of Discipline in doing the right thing 🤔
wrong word but i get the idea lol. Discipline though dosent mean that.@@timothykangethe7700
Great talk
Overall gd points made and helpful
I know some people won’t see this comment but it’s ok, I am a 15 year old boy from New Jersey and I played football from the age of 9-12, football has always been my favorite sport and it helped me get my mind off of the bad things that was going on in my life, from age 2-12 I lived with my dads babymother not even my own mom and my dad would only come around once a week or once every two weeks, I had to share a room with my two half brothers one is 20+ years older than me and one is 2 years older than me, whenever we would argue my brother would say go live with your mom but I couldn’t because my dad had custody of me but I never lived with him I was only allowed to see my mom every two weeks, when I turned 12 I got to live with my mom and I’m still living with her but while living with her bad things have also happened in my life, like getting kicked out with my mom from my stepmoms house and other things, also when my mom got custody of me I had to stop playing football because my stepmom said it was too expensive now for the past 3 years I’ve been out of shape and I always get talked down on and I just feel unmotivated and I feel like I have no support and no stability in life, Also I started smoking weed, at first I thought I wouldn’t get addicted and I thought I would be able to control it, but i wasn’t. I’ve been smoking for the past 8-9 months and I don’t wanna keep smoking but it’s an addiction now, I can’t go a day without smoking, if I don’t smoke I will be aggravated all day. Weed had caused eating problems for me also I can’t eat without smoking first. And I have a problem with staying consistent I try to get in shape but I’m so inconsistent I will work out one day of the week and then the other 6 I just lay down or play video games because of quarantine. Also I’m 5’9 and I only weigh 118.1lbs and it’s sad. I want to get back to my old self and get back in shape because I want to play football again and go off to college and play my dream has always been to make it to the NFL. I feel so bad about my self and I’m insecure and I wish I wasn’t and I wish I had better self confidence. I just feel like a FAILURE and I know I shouldn’t say that about my self but it’s just how I feel 😓. I’m tired of crying and thinking about my past, and my insecurities, and other bad things in my life I just want to do good in school and play football and move on and be happy...
Start running and doing Bodyweight training. Stay hydrated. Eat regular meals and get lots (at least 8 hours) of sleep every night. Consistently. Then you will be ready for football or whatever else you decide to do. It’s up to you. When you start feeling right from all those good things, you may not need weed anymore….
Start with small changes man. You can do it, the power is within you. Why don’t you start making up your bed Oman’s going to bed at the same hour?
Visualization and deliberate practise !
Very interesting
Aloha,
amazing film!
Have a nice evening :D
Excellent
Thank you. ;)
To be a elite you need a balance with genetics (mentaliy and body) and environment (way of life, diet, relationships, experiences), and to complicate more, genetics determines the actions that will influence the athlete's environment. In the end it's all related.
Rui Mendonça or you’re just making excuse
I use this for 3pt shooting in basketball.
Practice doesn't make perfect. It makes habitual. Perfect practice makes perfect.
So what if you have aphantasia and cant see anything when you try to visualize?
Great lesions 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you👍👍👍👍
Great.
Wow..Best ted talk ever😘👍👍I'm a tt player (table tennis)...I'm gonna try my best
How you making out?
ye cody miller talks about his visualization
Great stuff here!
This is a fascinating study. A book I read with comparable content had a major impact on me. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
Wow he’s right.
the music at the end pleas ??????
Tom Hanks
He was a bit clumsy with some things he said but his main message is basically correct. Olympic gymnastics coach been saying these things for years. It blows the mind to learn how difficult any gymnastics training is, let alone be capable of elite level. They’ve been advocating visualisation as an important was of training for yrs & also, it’s not “practice makes perfect” but “perfect practice makes perfect”.
Ken Cramer no
that intro joke got a solid awkward pause
Crickets!
2 basketballs can _almost_ fit inside of a basketball hoop at the same time, assuming that the balls go in at the same time and end to end. Basketballs are about 9.5" in diameters and hoops are 18" in diameter.
almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades
3 balls can fit
Reminded me of the Sherlock Holmes movies!
How to use visualization if you are a lng distance runner?
You kind of do it while you're running. Self talk is good for runners. "You can do it, c'mon, relax, you got this, rhythm," etc. Kind of visualizing finishing the workout at good rhythm, whatever you're doing that day. Roadwork, track, hills, trail, accelerations. You can visualize finishing these workouts while you're doing them and talk yourself through finishing well. For racing, you can really visualize the race, knowing what you want your splits or mile times to be. Lie in a dark room and picture the course you'll be running. Print it out, look at the map, go walk or drive the course, run it once and then adjust your thinking, then go back on race day and do it! Good luck.
Conclusion : visualization
Would love to do a TED talk about putting together my portfolio
What about if you have aphantasia?
I've heared so many thoughts of myself that I started wondering: Am I am athlete?
I figured he'd say "an addiction to winning".
put ball in goal?
John Wooden also said after winning his 8 th national championship, " asked me in 20 years if we had a successful season. If these young men are God fearing men the answer will be YES"
How sad. To think that the way to live is through fear.
+Gwir Galon - why? Humans do things out of fear always.... Don't park in red because you're scared of a ticket or getting your car towed because you will lose money & time. They're countless other things as well.
@Hazem O'Neall No, humans don't live through fear, but through intelligence and heart used, but the religions teach fear as the way to direct lives, and then manipulate the chaos and isolation that produces...
@Gwir Galon Not all religions produce fear... only most
@Gwir Galon it doesn't mean actually fearing some one it's a sense of respect fear
use visualisation+delbret practice
use fundamentalssmth that is important to do to make it
repetition
challenge your self get out of your comfort zone make it harder bcs if you do it ull master it
receive positive feedback from your family and friends
The only problem with Secretariat was finding headphones big enough for the biofeedback sessions.
I didn’t watch the video but it’s good genes. Thank me later for saving you 16 minutes
You need two things to be an elite athlete in your sport: 1.) Natural born talent. 2.) Motivation/drive. There are plenty of examples of natural born talent that did not have the drive/motivation to reach the elite levels. There are also plenty of examples of athletes with motivation/drive that overachieved but did not reach elite level.
Those that can't do, teach...
His lack of fitness is the cause of the breathing issue. Ironic for a sports talk.
If no talent requires think about messi..most people say gifted can anyone explain what it is??..he is also human being..what makes him difference?he is also just like us
What about physical attributes.. they are defining factor for pro athletes
Professor, Allen Iverson, Nate Robinson?
Yannis Karageorgiou not everyone but people like lebron are more naturally athletic then most others
This starts out like a bad Tom Hanks movie!
Hi how are you
2 basketballs cannot go in at once
I didn’t believe it at first either .. but look it up
It always comes back to law of attraction.
Yes !!
You attract what you fear.
And bugaboo aswell.
That's a myth, the law of attraction doesn't work.
Work like a f*cker and youll "atract" things
I'm sure this was a very interesting speech but I couldn't watch it all as that sniff was just too annoying.
Donr forget Genetics is a necessary for having an advantage
thanking as a sportmen
Genetics, chemicals, hard work and luck.
Ed 1 or you’re just making excuses.
Legend Jimmy the Greek secrete was the genetic make up of the athlete is what made him the superior athlete.
Mr. Spaulding is feeling left out.
😂😂😂🤦🏿♂️
He'll show up with a hoop for the Action talk 🏀
Elite athletes wished he hadn't told us their secrets
Watch the 👶 song
Okay but theres no way that POW man was playin golf his first couple days in that cell man smh
I love how he said Elite athletes are actually like you and me, completely ignoring genetics..lol
plenty of elite athletes have average genetics
such as tiger woods, right??? lol
Thank you @Rusty SpyGoat. At the end of the day it's not just a matter hard work, confidence or dedication, you need to be blessed by the genetic lottery too. "You can be whatever you want" is a tale told to kids not to feel bad about themselves.
You can have all the genetics in the world, but if you don't have the confidence or work ethic to back it up then it wont matter. Hard work can trump genetics any day, "you can be whatever you want" is played out but true nonetheless, FIFA : Messi, 5'7 they told him he was too small,NBA Isaiah Thomas, 5'8 they told him he was too short, Boxing, Mike Tyson 5'11, they told him he was too small to become heavyweight champion, RUGBY, Damien M. 5''10 160lbs, They told him he was way too small to play professionally and now plays for the best rugby team in the world. I can keep going on but the old "you need genetics to succeed" rhetoric is pretty much an excuse to not work hard. .
What about all of elite athletes with great genetics that don't make it pro, the only reason you don't hear about these people is because they don't make it big, genetics obviously play a role however defining yourself with such trivial things sets yourself behind the eight ball from the starting line
God I wish snot rocketing was more publicly acceptable because damn what he’s saying is actually pretty good but rip to that last name
kobe used to practice without a ball, shaq said
We cant all be top athletes
Two basketballs can go through the hoop at the same time? I exercise a challenge on that one baby. Seeing is believing.
Actually 3 can
Hard to listen to with all the sniffles 🤧
Odd in a way this video b c the speaker is out of shape himself
Someone give the man a glass of water, or beer
