Detroit Lions

The talent and enthusiasm of the current Detroit Lions is evident at every position and the football field coaching is displayed each Sunday and in every situation. So what causes them to lose big games against championship caliber teams?

The answer is not between the lines but between the ears. These Lions are a mirror of the philosophy of those in normal society who say, “I can be a leader”, and the boss or organization says your are not quite ready. All of the school training and physical attributes in the world can not substitute for the heart of a champion.

• A champion gives his all on every play
• A champion does not display emotion when his opponent gets a temporary edge
• A champion knows that weak minds equal weak results
• A champion looks for advantages and exploits them no matter how subtle they seem
• A champion embraces adversity as an opportunity to excel

All of these traits will help the Lions excel and reach their goals this year if they truly want to be a champion. And they will work in everyone else’s life if they are willing to do the mental work.

A champion practices a patient mind in the middle of fight.

How are you practicing a patient mind?
