A quote that really resonates with me
"College Athletes train 10-15 hours per game they play, but the average sales person trains 10-15 hours per year"
This right here is a reason for most failures in sales

My life as a college baseball player looked like this
-5am sprints + hour workout every morning
-3 hours of practice daily
-3 classes per day
-1 hour of rehab daily
In total
-4-5 hours per day training
-12 hours traveling to games
-5-7 hours per day in class/study hall

Being an athlete, you know this statement is true
"What you put in, is exactly what you'll get out"
The time spent training directly correlates to the amount of success you'll have while competing
The same can be said for sales

The more time I spend
-practicing my calls/pitch
-researching my area of expertise
-studying the market
The better I will be at my job, which directly correlates to the amount of $ I will make
My end goal in sports was to succeed/win. Those same goals still apply today

Due to this logic, I spend every last second of free time training & perfecting my craft
If I have a meeting from 10-11 & another from 12-1, I will schedule training in the middle
On the way to the office I listen to a sales/mindset podcast
Every second of my day HAS A PURPOSE

Being a student athlete forced me to be this way and I will be forever grateful to those who made it possible for me to play sports in college
At times I hated it
-Waking up at 5 to go workout
-Not being able to party with friends or take trips over spring break
It sucked

Looking back...I wouldn't trade the lessons I learned being a student athlete for anything
I am who I am because of the game of baseball
