What does Tiger Woods admire commonly in all athletes?
In conversation with Henni Zuel, Tiger goes on to explain, “It’s one of the things that I can. I truly love being around other sportsmen, how competitive they are, no matter what they do, because that’s what’s allowed them to get to that level. You have to have that type of drive and that type of willingness to put yourself out there and understand you’re going to have a lot of successes and you’re gonna have a lot of failures, but keep putting yourself out there.”
Truly the words of someone who has seen his fair share of battles and more successes than failures that are worth counting.

Doesn’t happen overnight. The people see the game time, you know what actually happens during the game. But all the stuff that happens pregame, or it’s the practice that leads up into it or it’s the offseason training, the gym work, the amount of weights you gotta push. It’s so much!”
