Why do we fall?
We start each week with a Monday morning motivator that can be used in poker and life, today a message from Rocky Balboa and friends.
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 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.
Sometimes our Monday message is based in scientific research, sometimes it is pure motivation. This is the latter, perhaps with a bit of philosophy thrown in. This speech from the Rocky Balboa movie (and other inspirational speeches) by far transcended the movie itself, and has been shared in numerous formats like this millions of times. A simple but uplifting message about the importance of picking yourself back up.
There are few pursuits where this is more important than poker. Poker is a game where you can do everything right, for a long period of time, and still lose. So (as long as you are exercising good bankroll management) take this message to heart, pick yourself back up, brush yourself off, get back in the lab and begin again.
