No one is born a winner. People build themselves into winners by working hard.
I learned this lesson from an 1 many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Georgia. It was a small school with a 2 football program.
It was a tradition for the school's old team to play 3 the new team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to 4 the game. As the coach of the new team, I was 5 because I knew we were going to win, but we lost. I couldn't 6 I had got into such a situation. Thinking about it 7 , I came to realize I had to change my attitude (态度) towards their 8 .
I began to help them build confidence. Most 9 , I started to treat them like winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacation, we 10 hard every day, passing and kicking the football.
Six months after our failure, we finally faced the No. 1 team on the field. I felt it would be a 11 for us even though we lost the game. But that was not what happened. My team beat the 12 in Georgia!
From the experience, I learned how the attitude of the leader can 13 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my team as 14 , I encouraged them. I helped them see themselves differently, and they built themselves into winners.
Winners are 15 , not born! When you have a dream, go for it!
