Kai Greene cited his example during an interview. He called out on people who questioned and debated Ronnie’s dedication to the sport. The legend was quick to point out how people idolized the former Mr. Olympia until they saw him beyond his achievements. People loved the idea of training like him until they saw the results of putting in passion.
According to Kai, passion involved dedicating oneself entirely to the sport, in fact, going beyond oneself. He retorted, “You don’t share the same luxury in common with enthusiasts because there’s more of yourself invested in this”. One couldn’t expect the title of a legend if one hesitates to go beyond limits.
