But MGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. I know that feeling. I know that feeling of the morning chill on an empty practice field, the solitary swinging of the heavy bag, the echo of weights in the empty gym when no one is watching.
Starting point is 00:01:20 The soul of the game isn't found in the trophy case. It's forged in the solitude of the grind, locked away. in the dark room where nobody can see you is the hours of blood sweat tear and sacrifice is the hours upon hours of beating on your craft you will never have your future until you are fully persuaded that you are a carrier of everything required to fulfill your destiny and so when nobody believes in you we have to make it up in your mind that all you have is all you need, that you are the architect of your own greatness.
Starting point is 00:02:06 You are the sole proprietor of your potential. So what now? Are you going to run from it or are you going to run toward it? Your dream, your goal, whatever you have in your heart, get up and run toward it. The challenge doesn't get easier. Itchy rash won't go. away. Is it an allergic reaction? A bug bite?

When your lungs burn and your muscles scream, do it again. Do it again, no matter how hard it was, no matter how much you cried, you sweat, you bled, do it again and again, because the greatest victories are not born purely from talent. Victory is birthed from the womb of what we do habitually in silence over and over and over again. And this is what determines what we will achieve when all eyes are on us. It's how we work on ourselves and how we condition our bodies and our minds that determines how we will execute in public. The soul of the game isn't the viral highlight real.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Honor is a choice. Work ethic is a choice. You want to win? You want the long game? You have to pay the price. Are you willing to walk an uncomfortability An uncharted territory Today's pain is tomorrow's power You have to punch through the limits And shatter your own ceilings You have to commit to the work When others are sleeping
Starting point is 00:04:11 That is the formula So I ask you why not you Why can't you be the person who changes everything The innovator the tram blazer The disruptor Why can't you be the one who rewrites the code of what is possible. You are an unrepeatable miracle. Your purpose is your legacy. The present is a gift and the future is waiting. The question is will you let go of your
Starting point is 00:04:36 past and stop waiting your precious present moments? Declare this with me. I will be undefeated. I will be unstoppable. I will be a force to be record with. No weapon formed against me shall be able to prosper. I am destined. I am determined. I am devoid. I am devoured. I am defensible. I am I hold it. I am dangerous. I have what it takes. This is the soul of the game. So close your eyes for a moment. Come on, close your eyes. It's the perfect spiral. The ball rolling into the hole. The finish line rushing towards you. Can you hear it? The roar of the crowd, the cheers of your teammates, the thunder of your heart. Feel it. Believe it. This is your future. Winning is the goal, but the soul of the game doesn't live on the scoreboard.
Starting point is 00:05:32 It lives in the quiet moments you don't see OTB. Itchy rash won't go away. Is it an allergic reaction? A bug bite? Wait, what if it's... Oh, my God.

It is the heart of the player who gets knocked down, bruised and tired, but finds the strip to get back up again. It's about practice. It's It's about practice and repetition. It's about sacrifice, early mornings when the rest of the world is asleep and the extra reps when your muscles are screaming to stop. It's about choosing and mastering discipline over distraction and commitment over comfort. It's about the process, the grind, the struggle, where the real growth happens. It's about learning to love the journey.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And finally, the soul of the game is about character. It's about playing with integrity. It's about competing with honor and winning with grace. It's about losing with dignity and shaking the hand of the opponent who defeated you and looking them in the eyes saying, well done, knowing they push you to your limit. And you did all that you could do. But you know the truth, one day, the lights were dim. The crowds will go home. And your body won't be able to do the thing.
Starting point is 00:07:22 it once did. The stats will fade. The trophies will gather dust and what will be left. The person, the game, made you. So I challenge you with this. When you step into that field, the court, the trap,
Starting point is 00:07:39 play for more than just a win, play for the love of the game, play for the teammate next to you, and play for the person you are becoming. Honor the game. Give it everything you have Because when you do, the game will give you back something far more valuable than a victory. It gives you a piece of its soul.

The world will always tell you that your fight is against the person in the other uniform that you are against the unforgiving clock.
Starting point is 00:08:52 That they're wrong. The uphill war that you're facing does not start with them. It will always start with you. The greatest opponent you will ever face is the one within you. There was a part of you that does not want you to succeed. There was a part of you that wants you to live in obscurity, in the unknown, hidden, afraid, to manifest, to rest in comfort and mediocrity, and the quiet. There's a part of you that lies to you and tells you that it is okay to settle when you know it's not okay. Change doesn't always come to you.
Starting point is 00:09:34 It comes from you. So this is the moment. This is the command. You need to use it or let it go. Use the pain or let it go. The anger you feel when somebody overlooks you, you need to use it. the pain. Let it feel you. Remember that feeling of them ignoring you and rejecting you and not picking you. Directed into the sprits, directed to the weights, directed to the running, directed to the
Starting point is 00:10:06 climbing, directed to the creating and the manifesting. The grudge that you have against the coach that overlooked you and did not pick you, let it go. The memory of the shop that you missed when Everybody was relying on you. Use the pain of that. Are you going to be the Tiger Woods of women's golf, do you think? Yeah. Well, I want to be, like, my own person, really, because everybody's saying,
Starting point is 00:10:39 oh, like, you're the new Tiger Woods and all that. And I think, yeah, whatever, but I want to be myself. I feel like these days people are so managed. You can't do this because of that and this and that. You're always worrying about what everyone's thinking about you, like just be yourself. The war is won on the battlefield of your mind. If a person can conquer their own mind, they can master discipline and win the war within their own head.
Starting point is 00:11:10 You see, if a person can conquer their own mind, if they can master discipline and win the war within their own heart, There was nothing they can't accomplish. Itchy rash won't go away. Is it an allergic reaction? A bug bite? Wait, what if it's... Oh, my God.
