The Champion’s Creed I am a CHAMPION! I have swagger. I believe in myself. I have the will to win. I set high goals for myself. I surround myself with winners. I’m cool, positive, and confident. I’m wiling to pay the price of success. I stay relaxed and in control at all times. I focus all my energy on the job at hand. I take responsibility for all my results. I have the courage to endure and persist. I vividly imagine what victory will feel like. I am a CHAMPION and I will WIN. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
