Get ready to step into your greatness and become the champion you were meant to be.
How often have you heard a real champion express doubt? How many times have you heard a boxer say, “It will be a tough fight, we will just have to wait until Saturday and see how it all works out”? Never, because having doubts will stop you from starting.
The athletes who stand out are always the ones who did their best work under pressure. I say “memorably” because they could either choke or step up to the challenge. Anyone who has played a competitive sport knows that there is a different feeling during a playoff game. However, this is not a bad thing in and of itself; it all depends on how you deal with it.
If you let yourself doubt yourself, your anxiety will grow. As soon as you start to wonder if you can win, things will go wrong, because the mind can only hold one thought at a time.
Either you are thinking about winning and imagining what it will be like to win, or you are worried about what will happen if you don’t win. One picture is all you can hold at a time.
Some athletes do change their minds, but at any given time, you can only have one thought in your mind.
The mind works toward what it sees, feels, and thinks. The mind needs to be told where to go, and it then works to make that place a reality. The mind is always trying to get somewhere, but the problem is that it doesn’t know where to go.
When you know how to control your mind, you can do great things. The first step to becoming a winner is to learn how to think like a winner.
Before you can be a champion, you have to look and act like one.

Some people say that you can’t stop what you think. I think you can if you get the right training.
No matter if you can control what thoughts come into your mind or not, you can definitely control how long you think about any thought that does come into your mind.
You can’t really stop a seagull from going to the bathroom while it’s flying above you, but you can definitely control how quickly you clean yourself.
The same is true for your mind. When a bad thought comes in, push it out with a flood of good thoughts. Don’t think about what you don’t want; think about what you do want. Don’t worry about not losing, just try to win. Start to daydream, and make this daydream the best thing that could happen. Not what you will settle for, but what would be ideal.
What holds you back is not who you are, but what you think you are not.
