Episode 50 - Overcoming Adversity while Pursuing your Dream

What makes sports such a big draw? Is it the game itself, the skills of top athletes or the thrill of Victory? Perhaps what keeps the attention of sports enthusiasts is the drama of overcoming the challenges to winning. How do championship teams battle the "red zone" or equivalent stress points in a competitive sport?

Winners learn how to assess, embrace and overcome adversity. Top Performers first accept responsibility for their circumstances, WHETHER IT WAS THEIR FAULT OR NOT! Losers get very good at blaming everyone else for their problems and never look in the mirror for accountability. We chose this pivotal subject for our 50th episode because it represents the difference between winning and losing.

There is a massive mind-shift required from the worldly, victim view toward the elite world of success. In this context, elite does not refer to snob status, birthright or some superior class, but rather a personal state of mind. What does it mean to be an elite performer? When you work harder than anyone else; when you personally own the challenges before you; when you to refuse to quit until you WIN... then you are in an elite class.
