    To be a champion, I think it begins with the heart.  You have to be willing to do anything in your power to win.  Whatever it takes, not just what your coach tells you, but what it will take to beat the best guy at your weight. 

    You must train your mind.  Your body is easy to train; however, your mind is difficult.  Before facing your opponent, you must believe with no doubts that you deserve to win.  Once you put in the work, let your mind do the rest.  Remember your mind gets tired way before your body does so you must train your mind as hard or harder than your body.
