“When you focus on the past, that’s your ego.
When I focus on the future, it’s my pride.
Focus on the moment, in the present. That’s humility.”
99.8% of athletes never play professionally.
I’ve spent hours studying the .2% who do.
Here’s what I learned:
“When you focus on the past, that’s your ego.
When I focus on the future, it’s my pride.
Focus on the moment, in the present. That’s humility.”
“Luck has nothing to do with it.
I have spent countless hours on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.” — Serena Williams
Hard work + talent leads to opportunity.
Love this from Usain Bolt:
“Easy is not an option...
Talent you have naturally, but skill is only developed by hours and hours of work.”
Focusing your time and effort effectively is much more likely to make you successful.
Example: Leo Messi walks 83% of a soccer game.
The other 17% makes him the best player in the world.
Oddly, athletes seem to perform best when it feels like they don’t care.
When you care too much you get tight and suddenly easy things become difficult.
Have some fun.
Gold from Alex Caruso:
“A big reason guys get stuck in the G League... they don’t realize the position they’re trying out for.
It’s like going to a job interview thinking you’re going to be the CFO, and they’re looking for someone to clean the bathrooms.”
Momentum is hard to describe. But when you’ve got it, you’ll know.
How to build it:
Do small things exceptionally well.
Let small things become big things.
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” — Mike Tyson
Katie Ledecky on avoiding complacency:
“I approach every single race with the attitude that I can break world records. I’m going to step up and throw down.”
The best coaches & teammates call you out on your bullsh*t.
They don’t accept mediocrity or even average.
Instead of getting upset, listen to the feedback and apply it.
LeBron spends $1.5 million each year taking care of his body.
Not saying you can do that. But you can:
- Exercise
- Go outside
- Eat well
- Sleep

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.
