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& #39;ll get out"
The time spent training directly correlates to the amount of success you& #39;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& #39;t trade the lessons I learned being a student athlete for anything
I am who I am because of the game of baseball
