What makes a Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali different than other athletes? Is it their ability, or dedication to the sport? No the answer lies deeper than the surface. Have you ever wondered what catapulted them into greatness?

Well you don’t have to wonder any more I am about to fill you in their secret in a moment. First I want to share flashes of their outstanding achievements.

Lance Armstrong in winning the tour de France for the consecutive seventh times has cycled over 15,000 miles. He studies the best people for inspiration such as Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzkey.

Tiger Woods became the youngest golfer in history to win all four majors after winning the Masters in April and the British Open last month for his ninth and 10th career major championship titles

Michael Jordan is a six-time NBA champion (1991-93, 1996-98); MVP (1988, '91, '92, '96, '98); 10-time All-NBA First Team (1987-93, 1996-98); All-NBA Second Team (1985); Defensive Player of the Year (1988); Nine-time All-Defensive First Team (1988-93, 1996-98); Rookie of the Year (1985); 14-time All-Star; All-Star MVP (1988, '96, '98); One of 50 Greatest Players in NBA History ('96); Olympic gold medalist (1984, '92).

Muhammad Ali’s record is 56 Wins, 5 Loss, and 37 Knockouts. Now lets get down to the champion advantage that they had over other athletes and why they have become so great at their sport.

Championship Mentality
They have a mentality that they are the greatest in their respective sports. They mentally focus upon every record or goal they attempt before even trying it. They see themselves doing the impossible on the Sony IMAX theatre of their mentalities. They visualize victory in order to make it a reality.

Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Muhammad Ali are all diligent students of the mind. They study its ability to take you to the zone so you can perform at optimal levels in any area of your life. This is why they stay on top of their games and have a tremendous advantage over their peers. When you have a championship mentality you can do amazing things. It gives you strength, endurance, and invincibility to do the impossible.
If you don’t believe me ask Sugar Ray Robinson and he will tell you

“In order to be a champ you have to believe in your self when nobody else will.”

If that is not enough evidence for you I suggest you turn to Oprah.
Ask Oprah Winfrey and she will tell you "If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think."
Ask James Allen and he will tell you “He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.”
Ask Bernice Becker and she will tell you.
"Whatever it took, no matter how much time, I would succeed. No one was going to stop me. This time I believed in myself."

If that is not enough inspiration ask Albert Schweitzer and he will tell you.
"One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity."

Ask me and I will tell you that there is nothing impossible to the person who believes they can do the impossible. The mind rightfully programmed for success is so powerful it can help you make the impossible look easy and effortless.

The mind rightfully trained can make you a Tour de Force Phenomenon like Lance Armstrong. It can make you roar with greatness like Tiger Woods. It can make you soar to new heights without wings. It can help you shake up the world like Ali. So ride like the wind, shoot your best shot, fly like an eagle and rumble like you can’t lose because you have the champion advantage. So use it or lose it.
