Sport Mindset for Excellence by Joe Santangelo

Sport Mindset for Excellence by Joe Santangelo

Nobody is a champion before becoming a champion.

Sport is highly democratic, much more than any other kind of activity or business in this world.

Just think it over a bit: no other person but you can give you the honour, the respect and the glory

of being the World Champion. It's only up to you. This has always been for centuries - back to Greek

Olympiads and Roman Coliseum Games - and this will always be.

This only means one true thing: nobody is born as a champion, but anyone can become a champion,

if he/she truly deserves that.

Any champion has started to practice a sports discipline, then something happened into his/her

psyche and a big switch occurred: the decision to devote anything, any kind of energy, to become a

champion, one day. So, any champion has learned the lesson, has trained hard for decades, has failed

and has had the nerve to get up and keep fighting to make a dream come true, the big dream.

So, what I want you to keep clearly in your mind is that becoming a champion is up to you, you ought

to understand what makes an athlete a champion so that you can decide to switch your psychology

and strive hard to make your dream come true. Or maybe you'll decide to take your time and apply

the whole of the methodology step by step, slowly, and see what happens. Or you can decide that

you're not that kind of person, so you quit and continue to practice for your own personal relaxation.

The choice is yours, that switch is up to you. No one can empower your aim and motivation, no one

can transform your brain: is a personal business.

Enter yourself and go in deep. Isolate your weaknesses and work hard on that: become familiar

with handling bad times. Understand your strengths and transform them into 'Specials': your

uniqueness starts on it
