Activate Your Inner Champion

If you ask an athlete what the secret to being a champion is, you’d find the answer the same among all of them. You can’t achieve success alone. They know in their soul, motivation is the key to success as well as the support of their team. Finding a coach is an essential part of any athletes training. No matter what the challenge a coach is there to keep you focused on your goals but more importantly, help you develop the discipline to keep going even when you want to quit!

Just a few examples from some of the most successful coaches of our time:

“Without self-discipline success is impossible, period.”

Lou Holtz

“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”

John Wooden

“Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.”

Vince Lombardi

Athletes know what their goal is and have a clear vision of what they intend to do to get there. Each day begins early eating healthy foods while keeping a close eye on how many calories they consume. Whether it’s walking running or riding a bike every day they challenge them self to do a little bit better. Workouts become a part of life, some day’s are a challenge, sore muscles, fatigue, can wear on them after many weeks and months of training. However they keep going.

In their soul there is an inner champion keeping the fire burning. Success is only developed working on yourself over and over again. When ever a feeling of quitting comes over them their coach is right there to hold them accountable. Until one day they realize the person in control of their actions is looking right at them in the mirror!

It’s when you get to that place where the person you need to listen the most to is you, being true to yourself, accountable to yourself.

Truth is you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to higher a professional coach, you can begin by developing a champion mind-set. Are you willing to put it all on the line to be a champion? Are you willing to let people know what goal your working to achieve which allows them to hold you accountable? Are you willing to keep going and never give up?

If you’ve never been part of a team or not one who is comfortable around competitive people don’t stress, there is always like minded people out there with similar interests.

Begin by developing a community of like minded people. State what your goals are let as many people know as you can, in order to improve we must stretch out of your comfort zone. Terrifying as this can be you’ll need to create leverage which will help you to be accountable and encourage you to keep going when you feel like quitting.
