Champions adopt a distinct mindset and habits before winning anything. Walk, talk, train, eat, and sleep like a champion first. The trophy follows the behavior, not the other way around.

What you got to do is you got to learn how to feel successful before the results show up. You got to learn how to feel loved before the relationships show up. I tell my athletes all the time, you don't get a trophy and then become a champion. What happens is you become a champion. Now, when you become a champion, you start walking different, you start talking different, you start practicing different, you start eating different, you start sleeping different, you start accidentally holding yourself to a higher standard because that's what champions do. You start accidentally holding your teammates to a higher standard because that's what champions do. You start accidentally showing up to practice early and leaving practice late because that's what champions do. Then you accidentally win a trophy because that's what champions do. But if you waiting on the trophy to become a champion, you'll never get the trophy because trophies don't make champions. Champions make trophies.
