5 Levels To Be A True Champion


To become Number 1 in sports, first of all you have to know what distinguish this number from numbers 2, 3, 4,...

Imagine a building composed of several levels and try to figure out at which level you are.

Level #1
To the basis, you’ll find all those who makes sports just…for sport. They do sports for fun, in Sunday tournaments. They train a bit, they have some fun, and they sometimes go out for dinner on Friday nights. There is nothing wrong and nothing to blame in this, it’s one of the many ways to practise sport. Tournament is a break between a laugh and another. Result is not that important. This people try not to improve but to keep form at most, the right compromise between efforts and fun.

If you don’t fit in here, you can try to go a little up:

Level #2
In this level you’ll find players who live on the brink of victory. They train and work hard, but they're never on the level. They probably have the best shoes on the market, but when it comes to go in and show, they could be barefoot. They’re pushed buy a strong passion, the only reason that keep them in gym, but they’re dominated by fear of mistake and so they will hardly improve.

If you don’t even feel to fit with this level you can go up a little bit:

Level #3
Here you’ll find good players, who work hard and aren’t worried about doing mistakes because their purpose is to improve. In tournaments, if they have to make decisions, they do it without worrying about consequences, the important thing is to take the best choice among those available. They aren’t infinite talented, but their courage and their constancy make them strong and able players. They won many trophies and personal awards and are always a good example.

If you don’t find yourself among these athletes yet, then you have a talent who stays on the top:

Level #4
Here you have the luck to have amazing physical gifts and the skill to propel them daily with hard work and efforts. Often your matches come from divine inspiration and your play is fluid and always inspired. You are one of that few players in the world that do thing with ease and it’s good to see you play.

But, in my personal rank, there is an additional level in the building to examine: the Foundations, where Real Champions are.

Level #5
In this zone, there are certain players not remarkable, not visible, but who are the most important. Maybe they aren’t the most talented, but they are the ones from whom you can learn the most part of sports and life. Their choices are never rash, but they contemplate situation, conditions, times and people.

I met many players and many champions, but they are really a few thing without the foundations. I saw teams made of wonders lose because without these elements, I saw little teams grow battleship-like because of the presence of one or two of them.

All of us can go to the foundation because we’re not talking only about talent, about physical qualities, about performances, but about the person you are before the athlete.

Your Winning Mental Training Program in 6 Moves


Mind’s the limit. As long as mind can conceive that you can do something, you can do it if you really believe it 100 percent.
(Arnold Schwarzenegger)

How Can You Develope a Winning Mindset?
It’s puzzling the number of athletes who pay a little attention to body’s most important muscle: the one that stays between ears. Whoever makes this mistake is meant to mediocrity; equally, teams that ignore mental training are easily detectable, they have low ratings and aren’t able to reach the compactness needed to go to the top.

Mental strength is usually the resolutive factor. Great athletes know how to take control of their own thoughts and their own emotions, and all of us canlearn to do the same. As for every art, many practise is needed, but it’s worth it.

An expert trainer will teach every physical technique as long as they will become automatic and habitual, but a top trainer knows that a fundamental part of training develops in mind.

Try not to fall in the trap of dedicating all your energy exclusively to physical exercise. Complete all your efforts with a mental training, that will strengthen your positive thinking and your positive emotions to get positive results.


Here are some effective techniques to sharpen you mental capacities. Results will be very surprising.

The six phases

1. Deeply relax your body.
2. Develop consciousness and attention.
3. Examine your narrow beliefs.
4. Take the control of your thoughts.
5. Become master of your thoughts.
6. Use a positive creative imagination.

Remind, the key to the success lies in training these capacities until they will remain deeply stuck in your unconscious.

Look At Here How An Eagle Can Become A Chicken


A few times ago I read a short story that impressed me very much. I want to repeat it here to you.

A man found an eagle's egg and put it in a hen’s nest.
The egg hatched simultaneously with the brood, and the baby eagle grew along with the chicks.
Throughout its life the eagle did what the backyard chickens did, thinking of being one of them. It rummaged through the soil looking for worms and insects, cackling and shaking its wings rising from the ground a few feet.
The years passed and the eagle grew very old.
One day it saw above it, in the cloudless sky, a beautiful bird that soared, majestic and elegant, in the midst of a strong air current, barely moving his strong golden wings.
The old eagle looked up, startled. "Who is that?" asked.
"It’s the eagle, the king of birds," replied its neighbour.
"It belongs to the sky. We, however, belong to the earth, because we are chickens."
So the eagle lived and died like a chicken, because it considered itself to be such.

This is what I concluded:

"You can fly too, you just have to know it and believe it!"

Draw yourself your own conclusions!
