Jim Thorpe won two gold medals with two shoes he got from the garbage. His shoes were stolen the night before and he didn't have time to get another pair, so he made do with misatching, ill-fitting shoes he found in the trash.

Don't complain about the tools, level up your resourcefulness and skill instead.

“It’s not the tools, it’s the carpenter.”

My hockey coach used to say that to us growing up. He was at the 1980 Olympic tryouts.
