COT: The World Cup final was long, hard, and historic with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez setting a final record with 11 saves until minute 106 and Spaniard Ferran Torres “…saw the ball coming and shot with the power of all the Spanish people”. All of those players put in a lifetime of work (the majority of which nobody else saw) to get to that final moment. Real growth happens in the “extra time”. Do not leave your character to chance. Put in the quiet, agonizing work when nobody is watching so that you can stand firm when the pressure is at its peak.
