Survivor bias : Scott Hamilton said after he achieved some victory that he had decided to achieve it. And discarded conveniently the fact that many people who tried as hard as him failed.

To sum up : what a load of crap.

If trying hard is not a good advice, what is the alternative?

It's not what this says.

"Try hard" is sound advice.

Saying "want to win to win" is, first, false (survivor bias), and also culpabilizing people for failure : it litterally says "you didn't want hard enough".
