That kind of mentality, which I would argue is a great one to have, this idea of I'm just going to be the hardest worker in the room. Harder, not smarter. And just beat everybody, right? Yeah. That only takes you so far.

At some point, you have to introduce a little bit of strategy into the game so you can streamline efficiencies and processes and create the kind of habits you want, SOPs, so that things can happen faster and more efficiently with greater outcomes. But I don't think you can get to that point until you just start doing stuff.

But if you're not learning as you're doing, then you're slowly losing that advantage that you have because the smarter way to go about doing it will almost certainly surpass you despite your greatest blunt force trauma effort type approach. So up until my injury, I could do a lot of things. I had a lot of margin for error.

I took a day off from training if I blew off my mobility session or my cool down or I missed a meal like I can make that up. And it was kind of like, yeah, I'm like, I'm good. I'll be good to go. And that was reinforced by the way I was able to perform. I proved myself right despite it not being optimized whatsoever. I can just continue to outwork everyone around me and outwork my poor choices.

Lost the leg. almost all of those advantages disappeared overnight. Now I'm trying to do something deemed to be impossible. My margins just shrunk to nothing. They don't exist anymore. I don't have the luxury of blowing off. If I blow off that mobility session at the end of that workout, I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow, literally. And I had to learn how to hide away a few times.

So it's like, nope, can't miss that. If I miss a meal, if I come up shy with my hydration, my residual limb would change in shape. And now I physically can't get my prosthetic leg attached to my body anymore. Those margins have disappeared. And I just felt one after another, my margins just kept going away.

And it's like, man, I need a system to work within here so I can streamline efficiencies and outcomes. And economy of motion is a term, I think I talk about it in the book, where every single step I take, every action or movement I make, there has to be a correlated ROI with that, like down to like the micro detail, which of course, we're not going to bat a thousand.
