What did Dwayne Johnson say that led to Michael Phelps showing support?
Johnson uploaded a video on Instagram and claimed that the coach for DC Defenders’ Reggie Barlow had told him this, and it inspired him a lot. Thus he wrote something based on it. The first season of XFL recently came to an end, and Arlington Renegades won the championship over DC Defenders.
Johnson said, “So, coach Barlow’s quote was this, ‘To do it in public, you gotta do it in private. Under stress and pressure, the most rehearsed action will arise.’ And what I love about that is, it just speaks to philosophically. One of my anchors which I always try to do my best to live by which is this idea. ‘Yes, there’s work that we put in public, the work we are scheduled to do. Where you are expected to be, and expected to deliver.’ “
