[RaptorWizard]

Professional athletes who have established themselves as champions:

So folks, what kind of mentality do each of these winning fellas have?​

Losing is never acceptable.

If it happens learn from it and never lose the same way twice.

All battles are won or lost before they occur, do everything in your power to make sure you win.

This, I like this. Always work to be the best!

I also found a good quote along similar lines:

“Power, true power, comes from the belief in true things, and the willingness to stand behind that belief, even if the universe itself conspires to thwart your plans. Chaos may settle; flames may die;
worlds may rise and fall. But true things will remain so, and will never fail to guide you to your goals.”

This. A champion doesn't really care how he/she wins. It can be flashy, it can be technical and boring. Who cares. When a) you have a burning desire to win, b) you don't care how you get your wins, and c) you're willing to learn how to do that, success will follow.
