When we think of becoming a ‘champion,’ we think of holding a trophy above our heads, hearing the crowd chant our name, or being ranked the Number 1 athlete or company.
We equate being a champion with being a winner. We crave this outcome so much that it dictates how we measure our performance, how we work, and how we lead our teams.
Now don’t get me wrong, winning is important.
But the best leaders know that being a champion actually has very little to do with winning or losing.
In this episode, I dive deeper into what it truly means to be a champion and how it has influenced the way I live and lead. I also share how I coach my athletes to have the mindset of a champion and how devoting ourselves to a worthwhile endeavor can transform the way we live our lives.
As you continue to follow along with me in this first season, I hope you feel inspired to build a broad and robust image of what it takes to be a champion and motivated to apply it to your own world.
