Meaning
This reads as a plain statement of what high-level sport demands, constant attention, discipline, and repetition. It can be taken to mean that talent is not enough on its own, and that the work stays hard even after success. In a training slump or after a disappointing match, it lands as an honest reminder that commitment is less about inspiration than routine.
