What makes a true champion in any sport?

Knowing how to lose, and even knowing how to win.





Determination is definitely one.





Not giving up the sport after you get injured.





Sacrificing things (maybe junk food) for your sport





Not giving up when you just want to fall asleep during a race (especially long distance races)





Someone that helps other when they are struggling





Knowing how to take a compliment





Just having a good overall attitude is keyWhat makes a true champion in any sport?
A true champion is some one who is dedicated!!





You cannot do well if you dont put the hours in and the work that is required to do it.





No winner sits on their **** - they work hard!!!What makes a true champion in any sport?

someone who knows how to win...and also knows how to lose as a winner..:)
Determination , practice, and learning from other mistakes
being respectful,


and repecting the game more than anything else,,





ofcourse sportsmanship
BMT = Big Match Temperament


And the ability to temper greatness and success with humility.


Good examples: Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Lance Armstrong, Jack Nicklaus, Pele


Bad examples: Maradona, George Best, Mike Tyson
Self-belief. Also a determined mindset, like the England rugby team had for the 2003 World Cup. Their mantra was something like '; we win no matter what happens. ';





Player gets injured? We still win.


Player gets sent off? We still win.


Referee is biased? We still win.


Game goes to penalties? We still win.


Tennis racket gets broken? I still win.


Blisters on feet? I still win.





Something like this. Also a clear vision in mind will sort out the winners from the also-rans. You find in knock-out sports in particular, the team which wins the final, is the won who THERE TO WIN and won't be happy until they have done. Whereas the runner-up is the one who is 'just happy to be there' or whose vision has been to 'just get to the final' rather than win it outright.
