On Becoming a True Champion

If you are an athlete or the parent of one, you must head on over and check out Kirk Mango’s site and blog and sign up on his mailing list for his upcoming book Becoming a True Champion. He provides the foundation for teens to achieve their aspirations, not only as athletes but as individuals with good character. At a time when direction and inspiration is sought so desperately, this book provides the guidance they need to become true champions.

Champions-and championship teams-are made, not born. They use their God-given talents to reach their full potential and allow nothing to come between where they are now and where they want to be.

Champions understand and believe that their limitations are governed only by their imagination.

All real success and achievement result from your own choices, not those of others who may try to make your choices for you.

— Excerpts/concepts from “A Champion” in Becoming a True Champion

Sound advice isn’t easy to come by in today’s world of competitive sports. It’s refreshing to hear Mango’s voice of reason and willingness to promote personal responsibility in athletics.

“Becoming a True Champion” empowers you by placing the responsibility for your sports training success exactly where it should be, with you, the athlete. No matter what goals you set, the path you choose, or obstacles you face, the basic principles behind true success will always be the same.” –Kirk Mango
