How Do Olympic Motivational Speakers Become Champions
In order to become a champions Olympic motivational speakers are one of two things:
10% of the time you are just gifted in a way that now other human can be. Lance Armstrong in cycling, Tiger Woods in golf, Jackie Joyner Kersee in track, Janet Evans in swimming, Nadia Commenci in gymnastics.
The other 90% are champions because they are pushed to greatness because of some deep rooted insecurity. Maybe their only adulation came as a result of a positive outcome in their sports life. Maybe their parents paid special attention to them when they won as a young child. This “development of success syndrome”, I like to call it, nurtures this overwhelming desire in many to continue to strive for success because their was a positive reward as an outcome.
Champions are not grown, they are not even “developed” in a traditional way, sometimes they are pushed to it by something really universal in everyone, the desire to be loved!
