   'Our philosophy is to believe we are the best, even though we know we are not. I think you have to believe it to really be the best' Damn, he knew the secrete to success. That hit hard. Thanks Jakob, you are such an idol.

    I think he breaks the 1500m world record in 2023
    22 years old and always entering his prime

    His mentality is exactly the same as Magnus Carlsens. No wonder they're the best

    Who knows if Jakob has planned to go on 10.000m one day ? Because I'm sure he will be a master class killer on this distance…

    You can't say you didn't push your child into running or push them hard, and then have them run a 4:21 mile at 12 years old, like his father says. I don't get why he felt the need to lie about that, it's like bodybuilders lying about how many calories they eat. They feel like it detracts from the accomplishment and they want people to think that the majority of their abilities come from 99% genetic talent and 1% hard work. In every sport, and even in games like chess, the best performers are the ones whose parents raised them doing it when they were the only ones who knew the big picture. Little 4-10 year old Jakob didn't understand why he was running, just that it was always a part of his life. Again, it doesn't detract from the accomplishments, so I don't see the reason to leave out that early start, which is often more than a decade before their peers start the sport in high school. I am very excited to see how far Jakob can go with all of that said, he's phenomenal.

    I mean to be fair, you are definitely born with or without the talent that allows you to become a great athlete, but I really respect this his work ethic and his attitude that he must work harder and more than anyone else. This is what truly allows those blessed with the highest level of talent to achieve greatness and immortality.

    0:34 "You're not born with talent."
    Hmm, well, if you mean, "All individuals who became gold metalists had to become 'talented' by working their asses off to eventually palm that heavy, shiny coin," then sure, none of us are "born with 'talent.' " But, if by "You're not born with talent," you mean, "Upon our birth, any one of us could win a gold metal someday," then yeah right!

    I know 2 things he needs to stop doing is celebrating before he reaches the finish line and turning his head to watch the other runners at the end of a race. I’ve always thought that was a no no. Then again what do I know, the guy just won a gold medal in Tokyo. He’s fun to watch.

    "You're not born with talent"
    Finally, someone said it.
    Talent is just a way to talk down hard work.
    Everyone who is "talented" has put in hours upon hours upon hours upon hours of work, they weren't just born to be great at something.

    With a quick look at the all-time fastest 1500m they all hit their fastest times in their mid to late 20s. Jakob is the 8th fastest ever and still just 20. Wow.
