Being a winner, being a champion is you are bringing your very best to everything that you have decided to do and become. And I challenge people when I speak to them. Can anybody ever stop you from bringing your best? Only yourself. So nobody can stop any of from being a champion for being a winner. And if you do that my belief is over the course of time you will probably win. More often than not you will have the other wins too because that will routinely bring out your best results. But you know if we don't have those discussions with our youth they grow to adults that believe winning is that end product game period and everything else is a loser. We're very binary with our thinking otherwise. If you're not a winner you're a loser. If we didn't win we lost and and you need those conversations and then we need to remind ourselves what it is. So right now are you bringing your very best to right now.
