He believes that the perception of an athlete by the public can become their reality because it influences their own self-internalization.

“but also when when you are in the public eye the perception of you and what people think of you is sometimes the reality right if people do believe you to be great you can become that because you start to internalize that part of it”

He suggests that athletes in the modern era must learn to manage their responses to public perception and social media.

“I do believe you got to try to manage that especially in your generation that grew up with things we didn't like we didn't have Twitter and Instagram”

Trevor Lawrence believes that maintaining humility is essential for his performance and his interactions with others, regardless of their status.

“I'm going to treat them the same so I think that's where I've always tried to keep that stance because I think it matters how you treat people”

An athlete's consistent and persistent work ethic is more important than raw talent for long-term success.

“you love hearing guys like anyone in the NFL could say man I want this I want that like everyone should have like that want to like they can talk about it and it sounds great and everyone's on board it's a rah-rah type thing but then when it's time to do it like who shows up and who's there”

He believes that consistency is the most important driver of success in athletics.

“Consistency is like the biggest driver of success.”
