The Mind of a Champion

"When a Champion is asked to put in the extra reps — they do it. When a Champion is asked to work on their mindset — they do it. When a Champion is asked to get uncomfortable — they do it. Champions do what needs to be done whether they feel like it or not." - Allistair McCaw, Habits That Make a Champion

Dissect the key points from Allistair McCaw

  • Champions do the unrequired work. Champions do extra.
  • Champions have the mindset of winners. They prepare, train, persist.
  • Champions become comfortable with leaving their comfort zone. 
We never amount to much if we only work when we feel like it. There will always be another competitor who wants to do the work more often than we feel like it. But when we commit to doing the work every day, regardless, then magic can happen.
