There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning.

Winning is motivation.

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

I've got a winner mentality, the mentality of 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.

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.

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

A champion is someone who gets up when he can't.

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