The Makings of a Champion
If
you are an avid sports fan like myself one of the coolest things to
see is the difference between the CHAMPION and the other players . This
athlete sticks out above the rest. He does things that the others are
not willing to do on a daily basis while no one is watching. The
Champion is the example that the other athletes follow and will die for.
Below are 5 things that champions possess.
- Relentless - The champion is relentless in his pursuit of excellence. There is is nothing that he will not do to reach the top. From playing through pain and injuries to waking up at 5 in the morning to perfect his craft while others are sleeping. Are you relentless in pursuing your goal?
- Demanding - The champion demands perfection from himself and from his teammates. The perfection that he demands from himself allows him to demand it from his teammates when times get tough. Do you demand perfection from yourself and your teammates?
- Team Player - The champion realizes that with out the team there will be no chance of reaching the championship level. He will do whatever it takes for his team to be successful even if it means he is not the star of the game. Things such as passing the ball instead of shooting, blocking instead of getting the ball on the goal line are examples of a champions' team player mentality. Are you a me first guy or a team first guy?
- Little Things - The champion realizes that the little things are what separates the average from the great. He knows that the little things make up the big ones. Focusing on perfecting the little things such as footwork, angles of a play, placement of a pass and eating right are a few of the little things that lead to the championship level.Do you perfect the little things?
- Sacrifice - The champion understands that he must sacrifice to reach the level that few reach. When the champion is able to sacrifice things to reach that level his teammates will do the same in return. When you have a team that will sacrifice everything for the ultimate goal of a championship you have something that is truly special. What can you sacrifice to reach the championship level?
Go be a CHAMPION today!
