Stephen Francis, who founded MVP, believed that the environment at the club should be designed keeping hard work in mind, not comfort or luxury. He felt that if the ambience was too easy and comfortable, players would grow complacent, feeling like they deserved the best because of their talent. A mindset of comfort or satisfaction would set in, instead of a mindset of growth, which is required to pursue and strive for excellence. Francis kept the training facility simple and humble, because he wanted the players to focus on what was most important—putting in the effort.
