Determination can trump talent, according to MotoGP star Cal Crutchlow.
Determination can trump talent according to MotoGP star Cal Crutchlow. In 2016, Cal became the first Brit in 35 years to win a race in MotoGP 鈥� the premier motorcycle racing world championship. He says the key ingredient in his success is determination, a quality he has in spades 鈥� whether it be in returning from injuries or just taking him to the top rung of his sport, ahead of other riders he considers to have more talent.
Cal is a great advocate of talking calculated risks to get to where you want to go, and is someone who finds out what works for him and does things his own way 鈥� even if it appears to be unorthodox. That includes the way he trains for races, how he stays fit and how he sets up his support team around him. Cal also talks about not letting the opinions of people you don't know affect your sense of self and why balance and a rounded life may ultimately supersede a "win at all costs" mentality.
