Ever heard of consistency?
Ever heard of discipline?
Ever heard of 110% effort?
Ever heard of champion mindsets?
Ever heard of TAREK MOMEN…?
You hear the name Tarek – you hear the word unorthodox. I prefer ONE OF A KIND.
Take a look inside his brain, hear some of his thoughts, BE Tarek Momen for 1 day, and I dare you to achieve 10% of what he has achieved.
No one will ever know what it’s like being in your head, but being lucky enough to be this close and witnessing this success story has been a real privilege.
Nothing short of inspiring.
No one has ever done it, and no one will ever do it the way you have!
Your uniquely wired brain drives me nuts, but drives you to brilliance and success! Your 2-hour solo sessions, 1 hour of them for that backhand volley drop alone!
Bringing your A game (if not better) to every world championship you’ve ever competed in from Day One!
I’ll miss seeing you get angry at the wall corners for messing up your perfect drives.
I’ll miss seeing you lose your mind over the top 2mm of the tin
I’ll miss holding my breath, wondering if that volley drop will make the front wall.
Today, we celebrate you, with tearful eyes but more importantly, with joy and pride
Always unique.
Always having a different mindset, a different approach than the one I had.
And this taught me so much, that there is more than not just one way, there is more than ten ways to get to the destination.
It doesn’t have to be done one way. There is no right way.
Again, a very unique, very strange mentality, yet very brilliant mentality.
I don’t think anyone can do it the way he did it, and I don’t think anyone could have done it, having gone through what he had.
He did it, his way.
