It is usually true in my experience that it helps when you are your own harshest critic. There are certainly instances in which it can go overboard—especially if you start criticizing things over which you have no control—but I would think that it applies to the football field.
And I think it’s safe to say that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie starting outside linebacker T.J. Watt is his own harshest critic, a quality that we have heard from him since he was drafted back in the spring. And that’s also why he, and his teammates, and his coaches, believe that he belongs in their locker room.
“That’s why I feel I fit so well here, because I’m always trying to chase greatness (http://www.espn.com/blog/pittsburgh-steelers/post/_/id/25927/why-t-j-watt-feels-right-at-home-chasing-greatness-with-steelers)“, he told Jeremy Fowler for ESPN, for example. “Yeah, we put together a few good performances, but we’re always trying to look for that next level”.

Everybody wants to be great.

Not everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to be great.

If you have the natural talent to be great and the internal drive to work your ass off to get better, greatness can happen.

I love this kid.

Who isn't feeling good about Watt and JuJu? These kids are awesome and have the built-in work effort that every coach dreams about having in a player.
