When the international gymnastic Federation made their code of points, they didn't think someone could ever score a perfect 10. That's until Nadia Comaneci came along. At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. She shocked the world by being the first gymnast to ever hit a perfect score. And not once but seven times. To understand how insane that was. The scoreboard wasn't even programmed to show a perfect 10 so they showed 1.00 instead. For the audience. It seemed like she was defying the laws of physics. For her. It was just a routine she practiced 1000s of times before deliberate practice is purposeful and systematic. It's when you make small and achievable steps toward meaningful improvement. Oh, and did we mention she was only 14 at the time?

Number 4: Usain Bolt
What can you learn from the fastest man alive? There's a lot of science behind it. The 100-meter sprint is a very interesting sport because since it lasts under 10 seconds at the highest level, it can be broken down into very specific phases, which can then be analyzed in great detail. We won't go super sciency on you. But the great takeaway is this, you think that sprinters are super fast because they swing their legs faster than anyone else? In reality, however, the reason why they're so fast is that they hit the ground harder than anyone else. A study by Peter Weyand, a physiologist on the human speed at Southern Methodist University in Texas showed that the more force a sprinter can back into the ground, the faster he or she will go. For Usain Bolt, he hits the track with about 1000 pounds of force. For comparison, Conor McGregor is punch packs about 850 pounds of force. So if you say in bolt stepped on you while he was sprinting, you'd get knocked out harder than if Conor McGregor punched you. But what does this have to do with you? Sometimes what pushes you forward isn't obvious when you first look at the problem, but modern tracking tools can help you figure out exactly where to improve.

Let's take a look at another tennis player who to this date has won 82% of his matches. We didn't just randomly include him in this list. There is a very important topic we want to address and Roger Federer is a perfect example. When the stakes are high emotions can cripple you, in his early years better was a really hot-headed guy and would often let his emotions get the best of him. There are even compilations here on YouTube of him smashing rackets. He decided to get a sports psychologist to help with his mental state. And he's come a long way since. In a 2009 story from the New York Times, it was stated that if he had not learned to control his emotions and gain a sturdier mental approach when he was younger, Federer could have easily gone the way of merit soften, supremely talented, but unable to convert pure skill into greatness. What we can learn from better is to always pay close attention to our mental fortitude. You're in it for the long run, and y'all need it.
