ILOT BET: The most inspiring sports quote

IKEJA, Nigeria - Jan. 24, 2023 - PRLog -- What makes for inspiring sports quotes? Sometimes, they serve to motivate. Often, the passages subtly remind those on the way up that the ones who've already made the grade paid a price to get there. Spoken at times of celebration, they provide context to the accomplishment. These are the most inspiring sports quotes.

1.       There's no overnight success. Whatever you can do each minute of today to make your dream that much closer to being a reality, that's what it takes to be successful. — J.J. Watt

Watt is the first player in NFL history to record two seasons of 20-plus quarterback sacks. He owns the Texans' franchise marks for sacks and forced fumbles. He's a three-time NFL defensive player of the year. In 2017, Watt was named Sports Illustrator's Sportsperson of the Year. J.J. has also endured times of major distress. Watt underwent back surgery the same year for a herniated disc. He missed most of another season due to a fractured leg.
