MAMBA MENTALITY:

"Hard work outweighs talent.

Mamba mentality is about 4 a.m. workouts, doing more than the next guy, and then trusting in the work you’ve put in when it’s time to perform. Without studying, preparation, and practice, you’re leaving the outcome to fate. I don’t do fate."

Kobe Bryant
