I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

The quote frames failure not as evidence of inadequacy but as the necessary raw material of mastery. By emphasizing repetition (“over and over and over”), it suggests that success is cumulative: each miss, loss, or mistake becomes feedback that sharpens skill and resolve. The final clause (“that is why I succeed”) reverses the usual narrative—success is not the absence of failure but the product of enduring it. In a broader cultural sense, the line functions as a credo of competitive professionalism, aligning athletic excellence with a growth mindset and with the idea that resilience and accountability matter as much as talent.
