How bad do you want it?

I'd like to share with you a post from my favourite blog. It's here;

http://drannmaria.blogspot.com/2008/04/another-of-lifes-unanswered-questions.html

This is the blog of Ann Maria Rousey-DeMars, and the following is extracted from wikipedia.org;

DeMars earned her MBA in 1980. She missed the first women's world championships while in grad school, but in 1981 won bronze in the British Open and Tournoi d'Orleans. In 1982, she was ranked #1 in the USJI rankings and won the US Open. However, she did not contest the second women's world championships due to having a baby that year.

DeMars enjoyed more success in 1983, including the Pan American Games and US Senior Nationals, and in 1984, winning the Austrian Open, Canada Cup (now known as the "Rendezvous"), Senior Nationals and the World Championships.

She knows a thing or two about Judo. More importantly, she seems to get a thing or two about training hard to become great. It shows. She won the world's, and now her daughter is a top seed for an Olympic medal.

If you'd like to know a little bit more about what it takes to be great, do yourself a favor and read the post.
