A successful athlete’s career is filled with lots of acclaims and a tremendous fan following. But they have to make many sacrifices on a professional as well as personal front to reach the very top.

It’s not just the athlete who strives in the quest for success; their families also embark along on the journey. Particularly parents’ contributions can sometimes make the difference between an unsuccessful career and a successful one. The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar was lucky in this regard through his own admittance.

Lesnar’s in-ring heroics are well-known to the entire world. But very less is known about his humble beginnings and childhood days.

The WWE superstar described his early days in his 2011 Autobiography Death Clutch. He detailed his parent’s contribution in the early part of his development as a wrestler.

Brock Lesnar highlights his parents’ role in his development

In an excerpt from the book, Lesnar wrote, “My mom was pretty stiff, but it turned out to be the best thing for me. It may seem cold-hearted, but she loved me enough to make me want to go out there and earn victories. Just like crying was not acceptable if I lost, there was no big celebration if I won. Instead, My mom would just say, “Good job, Brock, now let’s get in the car and go home. You won. That’s what you’re supposed to do.”

“My dad was no different. If I won a trophy, he would say “Good job.” If I lost, he would tell me to try harder and win the next time. That was it. The expectations were clear. Losing was not an option.” further wrote the 10-times world champion.
