Legendary football coach Bill Walsh gives us this gem: “Champions behave like champions before they’re champions. They have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.” It is exceedingly difficult to prioritize the idea of acting like a champion when you’re losing. With successive defeats, just about anything else is easier than behaving the way champions do. Everything in the universe seemingly conspires to prevent us from finding the strength and willpower to trust in a winning process and act accordingly.
