3 Quotes from Patrick Mahomes That Will Make You More Ambitious
Here’s some inspiration from one of our greatest athletes in sports.
Patrick Mahomes is the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl and MVP. He was only 24 years old when he did it.
Clearly, age does not define ambition, grit, and determination these days.
If you’re looking to spice up your life and take more risks, then Patrick Mahomes is the guy you want to learn from.
My hope is for these three quotes to inspire you to become more ambitious.
Quote #1
I try to just focus in on being in the same routine every single day.
— Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes is a top-3 quarterback in the NFL. There’s no question about that. If he keeps up the way he’s playing for many years to come, he’ll be in the NFL hall of fame.
When he says he’s focused in “on being in the same routine,” he’s talking about trusting his preparation until it’s instinct.
The most successful people in the world have a routine they implement into their lives daily.
You could write every day, exercise every day, and read every day — all of which are good habits to follow.
Quote #2
You dream of your first NFL start when you’re a little kid, playing football in the backyard, but until you get there, you never know what to expect.
— Patrick Mahomes
Visualization will get you places you want to go.
The power of seeing exactly your dreams gets you so much closer to your goal, rather than you not being able to see it.
Since Mahomes had the dream of being in the NFL since he was a kid, his dream became more of a possibility.
When he actually made it to his destination, he had to figure everything out on his own.
We’re not always going to know what to do when we “make it” to the places we want to go — such as landing our dream job, meeting a soul mate, or becoming a parent.
As long as you have yourself and you trust the process, you’ll be able to conquer any opportunity that comes your way.
Quote #3
No one really sees pro athletes behind the scenes. They don’t know how hard they work. They don’t see how you work on the basics. They couldn’t possibly know.
— Patrick Mahomes
The things it takes to be successful isn’t sexy.
If you had to map out a blueprint of how to be a top quarterback in the NFL, then only about 10% of people would actually commit to it.
A behind the scenes checklist might look like this:
- Throw 1,000 passes a day.
- Study 4 hours of film a day.
- 2 Hours of arm exercises.
It’s not a sexy list. It’s a lot of work, and that’s why not many people are NFL quarterbacks.
If you want to be someone people remember, you’ve got to put in the work behind-the-scenes when nobody’s watching.
All your studying, grinding, and determination will come with time. You don’t have to let everyone know what you’re doing.
Let them find out on their own.
Whether you want to be a star quarterback or a star entrepreneur, you are the captain of your own ship.
All that matters is you recognize your destination.
When you know where you’re going, look around, and see what the most successful people are doing.
Replicate them, and you’ll achieve high amounts of success.
