What is
a Champion?
CHAMPIONS
set goals and make commitments, then work hard and make the
necessary sacrifices to ensure success.
CHAMPIONS
set their priorities and do not let things with a lower priority
interfere with the more important ones.
CHAMPIONS are self-motivated and
do not need a coach around to complete a workout.
CHAMPIONS focus on the things
they have control over, not on other people or things they cannot change.
CHAMPIONS respect those who
may be superior and learn from them.
CHAMPIONS do not put a limit
on their potential. Who really knows
how good you can become?
CHAMPIONS are honest and
loyal to themselves, the coach and their TEAMmates.
CHAMPIONS learn from a loss
or failure and use it as motivation to perform better in the future.
CHAMPIONS
are never totally satisfied. They
expect to continue to improve no matter how great the last accomplishment was.
CHAMPIONS expect their next
attempt will be their best.
CHAMPIONS
have the courage to take risks and push themselves to the limits necessary
for improving their performance.
CHAMPIONS never look for
shortcuts to success.
CHAMPIONS
realize that preparation is the key to success and they leave as little to
chance as possible.
CHAMPIONS expect more of
themselves than others do.
CHAMPIONS
put the same effort into becoming a success in every worthwhile endeavor,
i.e. school, family, church, humanity, etc.
CHAMPIONS
respect their opponents and appreciate that they may have worked just as
hard and prepared just as well as they have.
CHAMPIONS
conduct themselves with class at all times (manners, honesty, humility,
cleanliness, and consideration for others).
CHAMPIONS always give 100% and
refuse to accept mediocrity.
CHAMPIONS realize that doing
their best is more important than being the best.
EVERYONE
can become a CHAMPION.
CHAMPIONS are not limited just to those who bring home the medals and
trophies.
