The world champion is born a winner. Discuss

Everyone has the potential to be very good at a particular sport, but there are very few people who can say that they are world champions in their sport. It is unusual to find that someone has been the world champion consecutively over a number of years because there is a peak to everyone’s performance and inevitably a period where they are not playing as well as he or she once did. Many people like to believe that if they try really hard then they too can become a world champion, but for some people the chance is not there because we do not put the effort in to the process. People who believe that they could be world champions if they tried are proving that they could not be by showing lack of motivation or desire for their goals.

If you hear an interview with a boxer before the fight there is no doubt that he thinks he is going to win, you never hear a boxer saying that he thinks he is going to lose. This gives the boxer the frame of mind to win the fight and keeps them motivated all the way though. World champions do this so that they can feel the pressure, but they make themselves think that it is just a normal fight or competition so that the nerves do not get to them. They do not doubt their ability so they perform well as a result of positive, rather than negative, thinking. A world champion is someone who will apply this to everything he or she does in life, it is a frame of mind that has to be present at all times, in training and when doing the task for real. People can be born with this attitude or “frame of mind”, which drives them towards their goals, and in the case of the world champion the ultimate goal is to have the title “world champion”. He or she may think of becoming world champion in many different stages so that the whole idea does not become overwhelming.

It can be said that you cannot be born a winner, you have to learn the abilities, and that everyone has the potential. The abilities that are needed are not all innate, they have to be learnt and have to be worked upon a lot. Reaction time, speed and focus are the main things that can be innate so you are born with them, but most things do have to be learnt. I think that you cannot be born a world champion because it all depends on your opportunities and where you are discovered if you are good enough. ...
