'Swagger is something that doesn't really have anything behind it. Confidence has a lot of preparation behind it. There's a lot of false confidence out there that you could describe as swagger. The reason I'm so confident is because I know the work I put in, the preparation I put in...before every single game and in the off-season and that's why I'm so confident.'
This quote sounds a lot like what Michael Jordan has said through the years. He always said he never doubted himself because he knew he'd put in the work and preparation. Hence the confidence.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
