Short motivational YouTube monologue (Morning Mindset) in which the speaker recounts hearing Tom Brady’s anecdote on a Patrick Bet-David podcast about being a low-string quarterback who made the most of limited practice reps. The speaker uses the story to urge listeners to treat small opportunities (the “two reps” they get) like the Super Bowl and maximize them.

So I was at my kinesiologist yesterday getting my shoulder worked on and we were listening to a Patrick Bet David podcast with Tom Brady. And if you haven't listened to it, I would. It's pretty awesome. But one of the things that really stood out to me was he was either third or fourth string quarterback at Michigan when he went there and when they were at practice, he only was getting like two reps and all the first string, second string were getting 10, 15, 20 reps. And he was complaining to one of the coaches and said, hey, how am I ever going to get my shot to show the coach, the head coach, that I can play if I'm only getting two reps in practice? And the coach said to him, quit worrying about what everyone else is doing. Quit worrying about how many reps they're getting. Focus on the two you got and make the most of them. Wow, that was pretty impactful. And he said every time he got the ball, he went out there and acted like it was a Super Bowl. I think we all know how that story ended up, most of us. So what are you doing with your two reps? What are you doing with the opportunities you get? Are you treating them like it's the Super Bowl? Are you taking it and making the most out of those two reps that you get? And quit working.
