What Is Hard Work by Alan Stein

Alan Stein narrated the Steph Curry video I posted a few weeks ago. In the video below, Stein talks about what it means to work hard:

Stein says that in order to make it in basketball, you must do three things: 

1. You need to work hard
2. You need to work smart
3. You need to work consistently

He also defines what it means to work hard:

You take yourself to the point of discomfort. That can be physical; that can be mental;
that can be emotional. But you take yourself out of your comfort zone.

He continues:

If you guys want to make it, you have to learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. And if you want to be great. If you want to be like a Kevin-Durant-type player, you have to make working hard a habit. Every time you enter the gym to workout or to practice or to play a game, you have a choice to make. You have the choice to work hard. Or you have the choice to not work hard. And most of you don't grasp that not working hard is a conscious choice.
