Champion's Will

"Champions aren't made in gyms.
Champions are made from something
they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."
Muhammad Ali

The gym is important because you must prepare. But what is it that gets you to the gym? It’s ‘The Will,’ The desire that things will be better in the future by going to the gym.

The Will, the Desire, translates into The Dream, The Vision. In the annuals of mankind there are thousands of stories of people who have succeeded against all odds. Just think of Lance Armstrong who battled back from serious, stage III cancer and not only recovered but this year is going for his 4th consecutive Tour victory (he went on to win 7 consecutive, a feat never done before). And if you read his book, he states that he is a better biker because of the cancer experience. Remarkable! Talk about “The Will!”

Everyone on the Tour de France has skill. Everyone who plays sport has skill. What separates Armstrong from the pack? What separates tiger Woods from the field? It’s “The Will.” Some have IT; Some don’t. How about You?
