Whether you're an athlete, academic, or air-traffic controller, it's possible to live your life like a champion if you have the right attitude and work ethic.With a little effort, you can find the right kind of championship, define success for yourself, learn how to be a good winner, and be someone who carries himself like a champion.
Step 1: You can identify your natural talents.
They seek to develop the gifts that they have been given into expertise.Competitive skill, natural athletic ability, and other talents are the seeds of championship growth, but they need to be watered with intelligent focus and hard training.If you want to join the NBA or become a CEO for a tech company, you have to identify your talents and train to improve them.
Step 2: identify your limitations
An athlete who is not gifted with blazing speed can make up for it by increasing their agility, strength, jumping ability, or strategy, but it's important to be honest.If you're an intelligent soccer player, you won't develop an attachment for playing strikers if your shot is inaccurate, but your defense is top-notch.
Step 3: There are different fields of play that you can explore.
There are a lot of competitive and non-competitive fields to explore.Diversification and finding your expertise is what you should do.You can't get it out of your head that you want to be a professional basketball player just like him, because you've idolized him since childhood.It might be difficult to shoot a lay-up if you can't get out of a cardboard box.Maybe you're built like Dick Butkus, or maybe you were destined for greatness in another field.If you're worried you won't be good, play lots of different sports.If you love football, try out volleyball to see if your skills translate.If you enjoy playing tennis but don't like playing a role in the team, try out a team sport like soccer.
Step 4: To master every skill, choose.
With the expectation that you will master it, approach every new field of play with the desire to be great at it.When you're learning to cook, to drive a manual transmission vehicle, and to speak German, treat it like a competition and you will win.
Step 5: Look at the gold ring.
What is your ultimate goal if you narrowed it down to skills and natural abilities?What will make you a champion?What will make you happy?Start by setting a goal and working towards it.Being a champion is more than just a list of achievements.Being a champion requires knowing that you're the best at what you do.Winning the National Book Award is a great achievement, but does it mean that the writer is the best?It might seem impossible at one point, but being a champion student means getting your grades up to at least Bs.It's possible that being a champion worker means you show up early and stay late and can walk with the confidence that you're great at what you do.Define the terms and find your championship.
Step 6: Become a student in the game.
A chess champion learns how to defend their opening strategies.A champion football player exhausts himself in the front yard doing bunny hops to improve his speed and agility, instead of playing Madden on XBOX.The new issue of Science is too compelling for a chemist to eat dinner.A champion lives and breathes the field for which they have talent.If you want to learn more about your competitors, study the competition.Professional athletes spend a lot of time studying film of their next opponents, analyzing the strategies the other team will use, and the abilities of the athletes.Businessmen at all levels study the sales strategies and product quality of their competitors in order to improve their own.
Step 7: If you want to learn, find great teachers.
There is a Phil Jackson for every Michael Jordan.For every Maradona.A champion needs great coaches, teachers, and motivators to succeed.You will need help along the way if you are going to be a champion.Good exercise trainers and coaches, as well as good weightlifting trainers, fitness and rehab doctors, and often diet coaches should be consulted by athletes.To make your training enjoyable, look for coaches that you can build a relationship with on a personal level.You will be a better student if you look forward to sessions with your coach.Negative feedback will motivate you to improve.If a coach tells you that you're doing drills like a grandma, you can either complain or kick it into high gear.Is it a bad thing to go faster if you are working hard?You'll say no if you're a champion.
Step 8: The training routine needs to be strict.
To be the best at what you do, it's important to devote time to training each and every day.You need to study the game and build skills to be the best.You will be a champion if you train like one.It's important for athletes to give equal weight to studying strategy, playing the game, and having fun in order to get better in competition.It's important to devote time and active effort to improve your skills in other fields.This could be vastly different in your field, but there are some important ways to improve your mind and abilities.You can learn other essential skills of the champion, translatable to all fields.
Step 9: Train your body and mind
Positive thinking, confidence, and intelligence should be cultivated by the champion.To be a smart worker and a reliable strategies, whatever your skill-set, is a priority.If you're an athlete, you should read biographies about your sport.hyper-competitive athletes like to read The Art of War by Sun Tzu.Work on your competitive edge even when you're not working on physical skills.Train your body as well if you're a champion of the mind.It is possible to improve memory retention, energy, and overall health by exercising.It's important to get out and move if you work all day indoors.
Step 10: There are ways to get yourself motivated.
You'll hit a wall eventually.Every champion has a hard time finding good reasons to get up every day, sore the day before, or head back to the office.It's difficult to be great every day.The best of the best find ways to stay motivated and stay one step ahead.It's important to train to be a champion.Motivational music can be used to help a champion get ready for a big game or practice.Heavy music with a big beat is popular among athletes.If you want to avoid hitting the gym with energy and enthusiasm, get "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes.It's impossible.Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game, used to tape newspaper articles and quotes from opposing players that said negative things about him in his locker.When he got ready for practice and games, he would look over the negative things that were said to him.The opposing players would make stuff up if they hadn't said anything negative.He was a champion.
Step 11: Be disciplined and reward yourself.
While they might work alongside coaches, trainers, and other teachers alone the way, they are driven from within to succeed, not by the opinions of others.A system of punishment and reward is needed to get you to champion-status.Recent innovations in exercise motivation are Pact and FitLife.If you fail to exercise according to your initial plan, the exercise trackers will take money out of your account.The champion needs to blow off steam more than anyone else.To keep your mind sharp and relaxed, find a way to relax after you work hard.Athletes enjoy video games, music, and reading after a long day of training.
Step 12: Expect a victory.
Every time you step onto the field, whether it be the office or the playing field you need to go in expecting that you're going to walk out having done your best and proven your worth as a champion.If you can see yourself winning and doing what will be necessary to be the best, you will believe that it will happen.It's a good idea to eliminate mental distraction when you're competing.It's not important to worry about your partner at home, or where you're going to party after the game, when you are on the field.What needs to happen to win should be the focus.You need to train effectively to help with your confidence.When you're about to compete, it's not a good idea to ask yourself if you could have worked harder in the gym or watched more tape of the opposing team.You'll know you're at your best if you train hard.
Step 13: It's all on the field.
Saving nothing of yourself in the tank is what you need to compete like a champion.During the contest, your competitive fire needs to explode from you all the time.You can't be left wondering if you could have been a little more energetic in your presentation, or if your shot along the baseline was quicker.A champion shouldn't have to wonder.All athletes have to face exhaustion at some point.The loser closes the shop and cashes out.It seems like there shouldn't be any more.You can see the competition through if you work hard in your training regimen.
Step 14: Win and lose graciously.
When the game is over, an athlete can reveal the grace and humility of a champion or a loser, regardless of the outcome.Treat it the same if you win.It's ok to celebrate, but act like you've been there before.If you expected to win, it shouldn't be a big surprise.Give credit where credit is due.It is likely that you will be frustrated and annoyed if you lose.It can make it worse if you're dealing with a sore winner.Don't throw a fit, make excuses, or sling mud.Look to the next contest, shake your head, and take your licks.Use losses to motivate you to improve.
Step 15: Where credit is due, give it credit.
The athlete who made a game-winning play forgets that his teammates contributed the entire game.Winning athletes praise their competitors, coaches, and teammates.If you're feeling particularly proud of what you did on the field, it's a good idea to praise others who competed.Being a great champion requires being humble and showing perspective.When we think of ourselves and self-starters who are responsible for our own success, we try to see the bigger picture.Your success as a champion is dependent on your teachers, your parents, the people who work the concessions stand, and the bus you use to commute.Don't forget that big shot.
Step 16: Take responsibility for failure and success.
Treat it like your responsibility to win.If you don't come through as the champion, it will be your fault.Put yourself in a position to win.Stand up to the blow-back like a champion if you don't come through.You can't decide if you're a success.Regardless of what Tiger Woods has to say about it, it might be good enough for you to have made a personal best on the golf course.Don't throw your teammates, coworkers, or competitors under the bus.Even if it's deserved, don't call someone out for it.It's a sign of pettiness to do so.If something goes wrong, share the blame and act like a champion.
Step 17: Winnings, big and small are celebrated.
It is a good idea to celebrate your achievement on every occasion.All the time, champions are very competitive.Michael Jordan was known for his playground pig games.While recovering from surgery, Rafael Nadal picked up high-stakes competitive poker to keep up his competitive energy.It's important to compete regularly to keep your competitive edge sharp.Approach every checkers game like the Super Bowl is what a champion should do.You should approach every day like a gift.It is a good idea to celebrate your victories.Some champions can go too far in the opposite direction, accepting their awards with sad solemnity.Cut loose every now and then.You are a boss!
Step 18: You should surround yourself with winners.
The champion wants to align themselves with others.Don't hang out with people who are not willing to invest the time and effort into their own success.It's a good idea to spend time with the greats.A power couple is a couple that supports each other in their success.Power couples are made up of two people.Think of Jay-Z and Bey.There are power couples.Try to befriend people from different fields.When you're second-best, it's hard to be best friends with the best masseuse in town.Cormac McCarthy doesn't like other writers and prefers the company of scientists.
Step 19: An optimist is someone who is positive.
Your mind and outlook have a huge impact on your performance.All champion have positive attitudes that help them win and stay on top.Look for the best in the people around you.Focus on the positives and bring out the better quality in others.In golf, long slumps are called "the yips," and have been clinically verified as a psycho-phsyical phenomenon related to receptive tasks.The mind's effect on the ability of the body to produce is profound and positive is an important quality to cultivate.
Step 20: Find champion role models.
It's important for champion to model themselves after winners.How did Muhammad Ali train?Tom Brady likes to spend his off-season.What did William Faulkner like to do?You can learn more about applying yourself to your own championship by studying the greats.To learn pearls of wisdom, find role models in your field and in other fields.Einstein, Henry Ford, and Mozart are some of the innovative geniuses of history thatKanye West compares himself to.If you see the Buddha on the road, kill him.They want to conquer their heroes.If you want to follow in the footsteps of your track coach, who has had the state record for 25 years, make it your goal to best it.Don't stop working until you do.
Step 21: You can find the next gold ring.
As you accumulate more and more titles, try to broaden your interests.What else are you good at?Where is the next challenge?A champion is always looking for competition.Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and Russell Simmons are all hip-hop impresarios who've cultivated multimillion-dollar business empires, though they started by just wanting to be the best MCs.Their businesses have a huge impact on style, culture, and music.They've become the champion.
