At the same time the book presents them with the antidote to these negative influences-the fundamental values, attitudes and concepts, both mental and practical, that support and lead to athletic excellence. A ''true champion'' is an athlete with the specific qualities of character, mental discipline, and physical skills necessary to generate and keep increasing athletic excellence and success throughout his or her career. These qualities can be learned and developed; they need not be inborn. Becoming a True Champion goes deeply into each quality to show developing athletes how adopting it directly affects and enhances athletic performance, longevity, and dignity.

Through relevant examples, inspiring stories, and a personalized approach, the book shows athletes how to avoid the many pitfalls, and overcome the inevitable obstacles, so common in today's sports culture.

I found this book to really encompass the trials and dedication it takes to give yourself that best opportunity to be successful, not only in sports, but in life. It is definitely a must-have for any young athlete.

It is a great book for the elite athlete in that it conveys that you can never work too hard and that any goal you want to reach is attainable. This book will inspire even average athletes who have a true passion for their sport but haven't quite achieved the success they want.

Kyle Braid Leadership Foundation As young men and women set their sights on a championship, they ask themselves what it will take to become a champion. I loved this interview with Kirk Mango. Today, young athletes seem to think that the instant result of hard work is the big W. Same with there parents. I do wish all young athletes would enjoy there own achievments, learn from them and take it to the next step as well as enjoy the competition and the moment. Thanks so much for your comment.

We have a long road back from the false ideas and ideals that athletes like Lance Armstrong, A-Rod, and the like, have left for our youth. It is time for ALL to put to rest this loss of perspective and winning at all costs attitudes that seem to dominate our headlines, and our current sports culture. There is much, much more to being a champion, a true champion, than that "W"……contin. And the value in athletic endeavor…well, that centers on the intrinsic components one gains when their focus stays solid on that process allowing outcomes to be just that…simply outcomes.

Something that happens when internal characteristics desire, commitment, discipline, sacrifice, setting priorities, heart, proper mindset, etc. There is soooo much more to this than what I have written here and said in the interview.
