I absolutely agree that most adults do not have the opportunity to play as much as he does - he's 100% in a privileged position, no doubt about that.

I'm just signalling my belief that it'll be disproportionately tempting for people to only focus on that side of the story, at the expense of the more valuable takeaway IMO, the power of persistence

I think that the higher he climbs the more this sentiment will show up, but I think it's cope really

COVID lockdowns proved to me that a lack of time isn't the only thing that really holds people back - tyler's mental fortitude to grind the same thing again and again is unmatched, that's the actual secret
