How do you determine success and winning?

Success on the scoreboard?

Or success through sustained effort?

A commitment to trying your hardest and becoming the best that you can be in all that you do?

Winners were not always the most talented person in the class: they work hard to get to where they are.

Through their winning attitudes they have made it to the top.

LEARNING AND IMPROVING

Athletes are continually learning how to improve their performances because they are striving to be their verybest and to reach their potential.

Many athletes say that they learn more from the mistakes that they make in training and competition.

“I'm proud of the way I've dealt with setbacks. It's hard when you feel down and you think, 'Why is the world doing this to me?' But you have to pick yourself up again. That's what makes you a better athlete.” – Jessica Ennis
