When we think of becoming a ‘champion,’ we think of holding a trophy above our heads, hearing the crowd chant our name, or being ranked the Number 1 athlete or company.

**We equate being a champion with being a winner. We crave this outcome so much that it dictates how we measure our performance, how we work, and how we lead our teams.

Now don’t get me wrong, winning is important.**

But the best leaders know that being a champion actually has very little to do with winning or losing.

**In this episode, I dive deeper into what it truly means to be a champion and how it has influenced the way I live and lead. I also share how I coach my athletes to have the mindset of a champion and how devoting ourselves to a worthwhile endeavor can transform the way we live our lives.

As you continue to follow along with me in this first season, I hope you feel inspired to build a broad and robust image of what it takes to be a champion and motivated to apply it to your own world.**
