Been MIA for a couple weeks, my bad, been busy with yadayada...no excuses. But none the less I got something for ya.
Recently, more than usual anyways, I have been thinking about what makes people great; and simply put it is their attitude. Those who are champions have changed the way they think. There is no room in their minds and in their actions to settle for something less than great.
My head coach Joe Heskett, a 4 time all American 3Xfinalist and national champion; was 5th in the world before he found out he had to get his heart replaced because of a bad ticker. Not only is he an incredible worker/athlete, but his attitude is so champion driven that’s its almost annoying. His positivity integrated with his champions mindset/attitude drives his will to win.
This attitude that I repetitively describe including swag, champions mindset, positivity, confidence, are all driven by one moving force: HARD WORK. My dad would always always always tell me that actions speak louder than words, and I can’t argue with him. We can sit here all day writing wishing hoping we were great but in order to do so we must put in the time, the effort, the sacrifice, the work. We must be willing to work harder than our opponents to gain the confidence and mental strength we need to develop a habitual champions attitude. An attitude/mindset is not always innate and are less likley decided over night; they are developed overtime. Aristotle said this...
