2018 Boston Marathon winner Des Linden says this key to success is 'often neglected' via CNBCMakeIt
Last April, Desiree Linden became the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon in 33 years — and she triumphed in icy rain and 25-mile-per-hour headwinds.
Crossing the line more than four minutes ahead of the rest of the field took"grit and persistence," the two-time Olympian told CNBC Make It at a NYC event hosted by Marathon Brewing Company. Linden teamed up with the company to help develop its new beer, 26.2 Brew. The good news is, anyone"can absolutely improve on it," said Linden."We train our bodies. We train our guts. … You can train all these different things and it only makes sense that you can train your mind."
As psychologist Angela Duckworth found after studying what it takes to be successful for years, raw talent alone isn't always enough. You need resilience to help you persevere even in the face of obstacles, she writes in her book "Grit":"Without effort, your skill is nothing more than what you could have done but didn't."
