HOW CHAMPIONS THINK

lets peep inside the minds of winners in many fields. It explores how to keep the mind from holding you back, whatever your physical gifts or other talents may be.

MINDSET: Champions are optimists. They win because they will themselves to go beyond their limits. Start by visualizing your goal. Then make that goal a consistent touchstone in your life. The point is, if you see it - you can believe it.

COMMITMENT: Pursue your goal with single-mindedness. With skill comes confidence, so analyze the tools you have. What are your strengths and weaknesses? You need to make the most of your skill-set, while avoiding the roadblocks that hinder you.

CHALENGES: As frustrating as challenges may be, they always teach something. Only by facing your struggles and failing, can you grow from the experience and prepare for future roadblocks.

MENTORSHIP: Choose your advisors carefully. Seek out those who bring out only the best in you. If the people around you aren’t fostering constant improvement, you need to find new mentors.
