Strength of character woven with strength of body and purpose of mind is an athletic combination that should not only be privy to athletes and champions. It should continue from childhood, where one starts off knowing their strengths, powers, and dream of Life, into adulthood. But such a journey becomes a trek, an arduous task given the systems of educating minds available to most people. Champions do emerge, but how with the uneven playing fields of opportunity, economic disadvantages, and public and private perceptions of who they are, and will become?
Champions are born, and raised. Champions are taught, and told what to believe by a voice within them, and champions make decisions and accept what will get them towards their goals. If that is true champions above all else own their minds, and the image of themselves. Ownership supersedes the prominence of doubt common to the mediocre. The sheer determination of a champion is a hot fire whose searing drive, and propensity to burn counters the rhythm and popularity of the average, the mediocre person's spirit of mind.
What makes a champion? Champions make champions. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.15.13
