How One Can Be A Champion?

         To be a champion in any field of sports, one needs to have certain qualities that will aid him to reach its summit. There are certain steps that one can take so as to achieve this goal. Among them are: set clear goals, commit to consistent training, focus on fundamental, stay physically fit, develop mental toughness, and learn from failure. 

        With regard to setting your goals, make it both long term and short term goals. Assess them as something specific and attainable as well as something that can give you motivation and direction. In addition to this one, be sure to have your whole heart on your training. The training period allows you to be prepared in all facets such as physically, mentally and emotionally. 

         Learn to draw plans and concrete steps so that you can be true to your dream of becoming a champion. Be inspired by the lives of such champions as Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Kyrie Erving, Efren Reyes and many others who in their life have achieved their greatness.

          Then focus on your fundamentals, Whatever field of sport you have chosen, learn its basics, try to improve your footworks and your decision making abilities. Your foundation is very important to improve your field. And stay physically fit meaning learning to say no, ( a big NO) to all those vices that could possibly hinder you to reach your goal. Be smart enough to set aside minor details that can cause distractions. 

          Second to the last, develop your mental toughness since in any game that you are in, positive and negative sides are always present. Be aware to celebrate those times of victory and accept graciously moments of failures. Feel both the joy of being a winner and also the pain of losing any game. From all those failures, learn something positive. Though it sounds tough since it touches your pride and heart BUT for you to be able to become a champion, learn to extract positive from them. 

                                                                                    

Who is the GOAT in Basketball?

          When it comes to the title GOAT (Greatest of all Time) in basketball, I believe this refers to these two players: Michael Jordan and Lebron James. As I tried to researched on this one, my guess is as right as that of other people thus let us stick to these two as GOAT in basketball.

          First and foremost, let us talk about Michael Jordan. His legacy on the game is that he has 6 NBA Chanmpionships,  5 MVP Awards,  and heaps of personal accolades. During his active years, he spent most of his playing days with the famous and equally heralded Chicago Bulls.

          On the other hand, Lebron James has been seen playing with several teams such as Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and his latest team, the famous Los Angeles Lakers. Similar to Michael Jordan, he has received many awards also like the MVP and the NBA Championships much to his credit and contributions. 

          With all these achievements, the title GOAT is seemingly extended to them however there are also other notable players who have made great contributions to the game just like the names of Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russel, or Kareem Abdul Jabaar or even the late Kobe Bryant. Hence the tile GOAT could oftentimes be subjective depending on one's own preference and gauges.
