4 Pillars of a Champion



I. ACE

 • A - Attitude
 • C - Concentration
 • E – Effort
    (Non Performance Based Self-Assessment)

“When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” - Jacob Riis

II. SELF ON SHELF

 • There is not enough room on the field for teammates and an ego
 • Be a servant warrior .. Champions are servants, championships are forged in hard work and humility.
 • Be a Thumb Pointer

III. SUDDEN CHANGE

 • Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
 • It is more important than: the past, education, money, circumstances, failures, successes,  what other people think, say and do.
 • It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
 • It will make or break a company… a church… a home… a life.
 • The remarkable thing about attitude is that is we have a choice everyday regarding what attitude we will embrace for that day.
 • We cannot change the past--- we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way and we cannot change the inevitable….The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

“Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we respond..” - Chuck Swindoll

IV. IRON SHARPENS IRON

 • The greatest drug in the world is ACCEPTANCE.
 • Do you belong to a group with standards or an absence of standards?
 • What is my purpose?
 • Rudyard Kipling, “The strength of the wolf is the pack and the strength of the pack is the wolf”
 • Learn to have the courage to say no.
 • What behaviors will you tolerate?
 • The strongest weapon is forged in the hottest fire
 • ACCOUNTABILITY
 • INTEGRITY TRUMPS LOYALTY
