That is the dictionary definition. My own definition of champion is a little different. I believe you are a true champion no matter if you place in at first or last. To me a true champion is someone that’s puts in over a 100% and is happy no matter what the outcome is. If you place last place in any kind of competition but know you gave it your all you are still a champion. To me there are no losers just people that are lazy with excuses. A champion is someone who perseveres when the deck is stacked against them. They fight no matter what they are up against. Being a champion means you are happy with life no matter what you are doing or what speed bumps you hit. To me we are all champions no matter what we do and we should all realize that. I have now it’s your turn.
This is what I believe, this is what I follow, this is who I am.

You’ve totally silenced me, Rudy. I’ve been through some stuff where I needed somebody to remind me of those exact things. Thank you.

awesome philosophy and true. Im in a period of my life where everything is on a huge downslide and it is difficult to drive forward but I do, I pour everything I have into getting ready to show. Like you I also wear my badge on my sleave. For you its "discipline" for me its "honor" Very inspirational message. STRENGTH & HONOR
