The heart of a champion is in all of us! But what separates the true greats? The ones who rise above everyone else. The ones who never accept defeat because winning is so ingrained in their DNA that its just what they do.They Win!I recently watched the documentary "The Last Dance." The story of the last championship season from the legendary Chicago Bulls in the late nineties. Led by Michael Jordan, the documentary follows the trials, tribulations and amazing success that the team had during that season. But more than anything it followed the never give up, leave everything on the court, losing is not an option mentality that Michael Jordan had in every day of his life.This mindset is true in other greats in every sport. So come with me today as we look at the small changes we all can implement to be a GREAT in everything we do!xo Michael & Mickayla
