But it is the human construct of the way that we build up these things as being the point where everything's going to change.

And he's talking to one of the athletes, and he says, a gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without it, you're never going to be enough with it.
It's that exact same idea.
If you're not enough without it, if you don't feel like you're enough without this gold medal, you're not all of a sudden going to get it and feel different about who you are.

But ambition without direction is like you're sitting in wall-to-wall traffic, and you just want to let the thing rip, but you absolutely can't.
That is painful for a lot of people.
