I want to share with you some TRAITS of a Champion. By getting out and RUNNING this is the START of how YOU can be ONE! (A champion)

The 10 Traits of Champion And How You Can Be One

All great athletes have certain qualities in common. In fact, superstars in any field, whether it is in sports, business or even investment, have common traits they all share that turn them into champions. And if you learn these traits, you can become a champion in your own field as well.

However, let me warn you, it is not a easy task to compete with the rest of the world and to become a champion in people’s heart. A lot of hard work, dedication, commitment, setback, consistency and discipline involve in the journey to becoming a champion.

And remember this, it is hard, that is why you want to go for it to become a champion. If it is easy, everyone could do it and there will be no different between an ordinary person, and the extraordinary one. People are able to achieve outstanding results and to be called “EXTRAordinary” because they are willing to do the EXTRA work. So, are you ready?

1. Big Dreams

All champions have a big dream. For those athletes that made it to the Olympic, do you know that they set their goal so high that they have to work so hard for 4 straight years just for the few days, few hours, or some even few minutes of competition? They definitely won’t make it to the Olympic if they did not have a strong faith with their dream. They dream big and they dare to dream. They dare to commit and say that they must get to the Olympic.

What about you? What do you want to achieve and what is your dream? What do you want to accomplish in running? Life? Things will start to work only when you DECIDE on what you want out of your life.

2. Extreme Confidence

Champions believe in their capabilities and know what they can do. They maintain this sense of self even under pressure or when things are not going well. They remind themselves they have succeeded in tougher times than these. Do you have the extreme confidence to go through the journey? It may be difficult especially in the beginning where you don’t have any result to show. However, you must always believe in yourself. You just need to have the confidence to win every small battle, and this will eventually build up the momentum, gives you more confidence to go for the big battle.

3. The Willingness To Learn

Every great athlete has a coach. Champions are coach able. They are willing to listen and learn. Especially when times are tough or when they are facing a difficult opponent, the ability of a coach will become extremely crucial. Champions are willing seek help and get feedback from others. Everyone can become a champion, if you are willing to learn.

4. Extraordinary Determination and Commitment

Yes, champions have extraordinary determination and commitment toward what they want. WHAT DO YOU WANT? You MUST believe yourself, you MUST be determined, dream BIG and BE commitment toward achieving it. It will NOT be an easy journey. There will be a lot of people laugh at you, look down on you, saying that you’re crazy, etc, but never ever give up on your dreams and your goals.

 So just go for it. Remember Bruce Lee‘s quote? “To heck with circumstances, I create opportunity.”

These are 4 of 10 that we will share with you. Nest week will be numbers 5-8.

We ARE proud you ALL of you!! Continue with your HARD work and DEDICATION!! KEEP encouraging each other!! SUPPORT each other!

Keep FOCUSED in the GOAL of improving you during these SUMMER MILES! These miles WILL make a “BIG” difference in your personal performance, attitude, and belief in YOURSELF!
