So today is the Super Bowl 50, the year 2016. Seems the perfect time for some reflection about championship.
Here are some thoughts from those acquainted with being a champion.
- When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.
Evander Holyfield
- Feedback is the breakfast of champions.
Ken Blanchard
- I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.
Conor McGregor
- 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.
Simon Sinek
- Do I feel any pressure as the most decorated Winter Olympian in American history? None at all. The only pressures that I know I face are those of how to pay it forward: How can I continually make a positive impact in people’s lives, help others achieve their dreams, create their own Olympic mindset, creating champions within themselves?
Apolo Ohno
- The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.
Sam Snead
- Great champions have an enormous sense of pride. The people who excel are those who are driven to show the world and prove to themselves just how good they are.
Nancy Lopez
- True champions aren’t always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.
Mia Hamm
Here’s to the champion in all of us!
