Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose. Everyone has bad stretches and real successes. Either way, you have to be careful not to lose your confidence or get to confident.

The most distinguishing feature of winners is their intensity of purpose.

All right Mister, let me tell you what winning means... you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else.
