The Three H’s Of Fat Loss – Heart, Hunger, and Hustle

By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Fran Harris from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.

Fran: Absolutely, because than I became an athlete in high school, and started to really see what success was all about. And how it had nothing to do with ‑ where you were born, or what family you came from, or what school you went to, or which neighborhood. It really had to do with your character, your heart.


Now, I talk at all college campuses about my three H's, which are "Heart, Hunger and Hustle." And I talk about, those are the three ingredients that people need to be successful, whether you're talking about your fitness goals, or your business goals.


If you don't have the desire, which is that heart ‑ if you don't have the desire and the heart to create a complete transformation in your life, nothing is going to happen for you. If you don't have the hunger, which is of course that drive that gets you out of bed every morning to go run, or walk, or do the right things where nutrition is concerned, you're never going to have it. And if you don't have the hustle, which is that on‑going effort, that discipline every single day to move you in the direction of your dreams, nothing is going to happen for you.


So, you got to have the Heart, the Hunger, and the Hustle. And I continue to reiterate that with my clients, and my own life, because those are the essential ingredients for any kind of success.

Scott: Right, and you pretty much need the whole package to get there.

Fran: Yeah.

Scott: Cause one is not good enough.

Fran: That's right, that's right.

Scott: A lot of people can have the hunger, but it's only that temporary hunger. And it only lasts for a short time, and they just don't get that hustle going, or they get knocked down and they don't keep going at it.

Fran: Yeah, or you have that heart. People who have the desire ‑ Oh, boy! I really, really want it! But, then they don't have the hustle, the effort, the day to day effort. The getting up and going to the gym. The getting up and going for a walk on the beach. The getting up, and just eating well. That requires effort. So, you're absolutely right, it requires all three things.

Scott: Now, you must have experienced several different degrees, levels of intensity. I guess, in all these areas of going from ‑ I mean, high school, to you played college ball, in Texas as well, and you moved on to the WNBA as well. Did you have to like really ‑ was the heart, hunger, and hustle always there, or did you increase an intensity as you advanced from one level to the next?

Fran: It's been ever evolving, if you will. I can remember a great situation in college. While I was a freshman in college, and of course I went to the University of Texas at Austin, where everybody on that team was great in high school. And so what happens in the transition between college ‑ between high school and college, is that in high school of course, you're the big woman on campus. Everybody knows who you are, you're the superstar, you're in the paper all the time.


And you get to college, you're just a rookie, you're a freshman, you're a little fish in a big pond. And so for me I was like, "Oh, I want to go to Texas, and I'm going to be a star, " and you know all that good stuff. And the first game out of the gate, our preseason game, I was ‑ the whole game was going on, and I wasn't playing. And I was like, "Well, when is coach going to put me in? When is coach going to put me in? I mean, the time is dwindling, when am I getting in the game?" And time went on, time went on, time went on.


The whole game went by and I never saw one minute of playing time. So, the next day I am hot! I am beside myself! "Why in the world is this woman not playing me? Doesn't she know I'm a superstar?" And I went to my coach's office and I said, "I don't get it. You know respectfully, I don't get why I didn't play?" And she looked at me and she said, "Fran, you can be a good player, or you can be a great player. But to be a great player, you have to show up every single day." And wow! What great words, whether you're talking about sports, or life. You have to show up every single day.


So, clearly I may have had the heart. I may have had the desire to be a good player, or a great player, but I didn't have that hustle. I didn't have the necessary discipline and effort that great athletes and superstars have. I didn't have that at 17. But, my coach had to intervene and say, "You know what? I don't really care how good you were in high school. Everybody is good in high school. If you want to play at this level, and please hear ‑ not just at this level in sports. If you want to play at this level in life, if you really want to be an elite player in life ‑ you have to show up every single day." And isn't that a great lesson, Scott?

Scott: Oh, yeah! It's powerful...

... without a doubt. Slack off for a second, and someone's going to surpass you, cause there's a lot of people out there who have the heart, hunger, and hustle, and want it just as bad, if not more than you.

Fran: Absolutely.

Scott: Excellent. Those are definitely valuable lessons there for sure that everyone should be applying immediately.
