Monday Morning Motivation

Poker player and comedian Kevin Hart wants you to wake up, this Monday morning and every Monday morning.

We don't believe that watching a motivational video will suddenly make you a great poker player, consistent good habits and a commitment to learning will. However, it is undeniable that a short term boost of inspiration can start a positive snowball effect. 

Every Monday morning at SpinLegends we share a 'Monday Motivation' video to get our players in the right frame of mind. Whether it's poker, chess, sport, business or study, the lessons are always universal, so we want to get you pumped in the same way. 

Normally we share a video that has some grounding in psychology or science, something more than just pure motivation. However, today we are just going to get you pumped up, courtesy of poker player and highest grossing comedian in the world Kevin Hart. Anyone who knows him, even in poker which is his downtime, say he is the hardest working person on the planet. So start your Monday like Kevin Hart.

How do you get pumped to play poker? Share your most inspirational videos in the comments:
