An athlete must have ability to reach the top, but many who have ability and who do not live clean lives never have and never will be champions for obvious reasons.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Among the world elite there are a handful of athletes who are physically capable of winning it.
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.
Top athletes are like warriors.
The most important thing for any athlete is to know his ability. If you know your ability and have even a little bit of a strong mindset, you can get success, because your ability takes you to success.
To be a champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well.
In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best.
Any athlete has massive reserves in their body and their emotional landscape.
I would like to cite an instance which proves the efficacy of clean living on the part of an athlete coupled with the inspiration received from a champion which go a long way to making a champion.
But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.
To be champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well.
