We were all created to be champions. A champion is someone who makes a plan and then works to achieve what they set out to do. In order to be a champion, we need to know what challenges we will face in our journey and what skills it takes to be one.

Believe in yourself (gain confidence)

1. Realize that you CAN accomplish whatever you set your mind to.
2. Don’t focus on the failures, focus on the victories.
3. Learn from your mistakes.

Set Goals

1. Set short-term, achievable goals.
2. Set long-term goals.
3. Commit to achieving your goals no matter what.

Develop a strategy

1. Decide how and when you will reach your goals.
2. Figure out what steps need to be taken.
3. Realize that you WILL need help from others.

Start working toward your goals

1. Be persistent in your daily work towards your goals to form the right habits.
2. Monitor and acknowledge your progress.
3. Encourage yourself and others.

A champion is not just someone who wins a sports competition. A champion is someone who decides what they want to accomplish, how they will accomplish it, and never lets failure or mistakes stop them from succeeding. We all have a champion inside us; we just need to develop the right habits and take some risks.
