What Makes a Champion?

By NG Chang Siang, Education Success Coach

‘’ What makes a champion is a champion mindset. The champion mindset is the transferable commodity, not the skill itself. If you have done something great in one field, you are far more likely to do it in another ‘’ --Professor Allan Snyder FRS

I have a good friend who is a primary school teacher. He also takes on as a role of a coach in flaw ball for the students in his school. Guess what? He never play flaw ball before. Not even that, after he coached his students, they won a school team which was coached by a national flawball player.

That day I met him in our soccer game as we play soccer together every Monday. He played soccer very well and represented his schools when he was very young. I ask him : “ How did you do it…?” “ How can someone with no flaw-ball playing experience train and beat another team whom has an experience coach?”

He replied: “ Oh, I just use the strategy I know in playing soccer and apply to the boys. I let the boys play the flawball, which they are good at,.. while I coached them the strategy and mindset.”

This reminded me of my observation on how he played soccer. He gave his 100% commitment to his game. His desire to win the game is very strong.

We can also learn this mindset from achievers, someone who know what they want in life or results they want to create.

As for students who already have this champion mindset. What they can do is to transfer this mindset into whatever they are currently doing to see results. The question we need to ask ourselves is : Do we want this result bad enough?

Tips to achieve Great Results You Want in Life
  • Mindset: Identify things and events that you are good at.
  • Intention: Visualise that achieving feeling and anchor it to your heart.
  • Action: Do the necessary steps in order to achieve outcome now.

Finally, enjoy and have a blast in everything that you do!

The 4 Essentials of Effective Leadership

I read this article written Mark Raciappa, ActionCOACH and I totally agree. His communication is clear, concise and it resonated with me. Mark says; I remember a bumper sticker: “Either Lead or Follow—But Get Out of the Way!” Interestingly, in my company , I say something similar and it goes like this "If you can lead, lead. If you can't lead, follow. If you cannot lead or follow, get out of my way! Mark continued to write that, when our role calls for the former, here are 4 important things to keep in mind: 1. Great leaders communicate. Realizing that good communication is a 2-way street, we must be responsible for our part. That being said, true communication is the response that you get. Whatever form you choose (verbal, mail, e-mail, etc), if you don’t get the outcome you seek (from a “willing” recipient), the responsibility lies with the sender. Great leaders confirm, gain commitment, and solicit feedback to improve the process. 2. Great leaders make decisions...
