What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win.

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.

Be very strong... be very methodical in your life if you want to be a champion.

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.

To be a champion you must act like one, act like a champion.

I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.

There's a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.

To be a champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well.

When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.

A lot of people, once they become champion, they relax, kind of sit in the position and try to enjoy it. But I feel like everything I've ever worked for could be lost at any moment. I work harder and harder and harder, because I want to be farther ahead with every fight, and not worrying about these girls catching up to me.
