Owen discusses the limitations of relying solely on talent and emphasizes the importance of hard work, persistence, and grinding to achieve and maintain success.

Your talent's not enough for me. I relied so much on my talent for up until the U21 days. If I wanted to give 80%, one day, I gave 80. It was better than most people's hundred. But I've learned that just because you're talented doesn't mean that you're going to get to the top. It doesn't mean that you're going to stay at the top. There's so many things that are out of your control that you can't worry about. And I go through it on a. On a routine basis here. You just got to grind. You got to roll sleeves up and you got to get to work.
