When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning.
To be a champion, you have to learn to handle stress and pressure. But if you've prepared mentally and physically, you don't have to worry.
To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge.
To be a champion you must act like one, act like a champion.
Champions are not the ones who always win races - champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. 'Champion' is a state of mind. They are devoted. They compete to best themselves as much if not more than they compete to best others. Champions are not just athletes.
Being a champion is not just being a frontrunner and being ahead, but it's facing adversity.
I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.
To be a champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well.
Realizing full well that fine condition and confidence will not in themselves make a champion, it is my belief, however, that they are essential factors.
There's a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.
