Mike Tyson – How To Be The Best of The Best Of The Best
How do you become the best of the best of the best? Mike Tyson's answer: study everyone who came before you. Go back to the beginning. Find the first person who was truly great at what you want to do, and read everything. Study their technique, their mindset, their habits. Then work your way forward through history until you reach the present. And when you do, you'll realize those people are just you in funny clothes.
Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at 20 years old by doing exactly this - becoming a student of the sport with an obsession that most people reserve for entertainment. He didn't just train. He studied. He became the boxing encyclopedia before he became the champion.
The mindset of the best is not complicated. It is total commitment to mastery. Study history until it gets to you.
