Developing Champions

Desire, determination, and attitude set the champions apart from the average.

I am asked all the time; “what does it take to be a champion”? Most expect the answer to be mostly about the physical talent and outward attributes. However, in all of my work and studies. The things that I have seen that make a champion are inside attributes. Desire to be the best you that you can be is key. Also, determination, that ‘never give up’ mindset. Then finally attitude. There are many more characteristics of a champion, but most will fit into those three categories. Working with championship programs and teams has allowed me to see the mindset of a champion. It’s not the most talented that win day in and day out, year in and year out. It is the athlete, the homemaker, the student that will do whatever it takes to better themselves. It is the person that do more than is asked. Are you desiring to be a champion in your life today? Then do an internal inventory and see if you are were you need to be mentally to be a champion. Remember, many are called but few are chosen. Ready to be a champion?
