Working harder does not mean being stupid. I don't understand why people keep pretending working harder is somehow how inversely related to the quality of your decisions.

It means doing research on training systems, consulting with coaches, monitoring your diets, revising workout plans, etc. Having been involved with sports all my life, I can tell you that this stuff matters, you can always do more of it, and it's work.
