The hours of hard work that Depay puts himself through “in the dark” is not a means of bouncing back like it was in Michael Phelps case. For Depay, it is to prove people wrong. When the man yells at him while he’s on a walk, he immediately takes the mocking to heart. He now has his inspiration. The only thing he can think about is becoming great to prove the man wrong. This happens to athletes everywhere. Oftentimes, upcoming athletes are mocked and told that they are not talented enough to compete at the next level. Some athletes lay down, but others channel the energy and strive to become prove their enemies
