Here's the difference between a Champion and Others:
" A champion, when he fell, always got back up and tried even harder. He slowed down over the speed bumps and hit a pothole now and then, but each time, he kept going. He didn't care how bad it hurt or hard he had to try. Others, on the other hand, when they fell, stayed there. Maybe tried to get up and kept falling and didn't try to get up anymore. Stopped at the speed bumps and fell into the potholes. Quit when he hurt and was tired. If you want to be a champion, try and try again. Never let your hopes slip out of your hands."
" The 3 P's to success - Passion, Persistence & Patience."
" Warriors, like all men, always fear failing but they never ever in their life let fear take control over them."
I came up with this while I was training with my Varsity X country team. It goes through my mind before every hard practice and before every game or race.
" Celebrate your failures. Failures teach you to succeed in life. One failure opens the door for hundreds of successes."
