Three Marks of a Winner

Winners are easily spotted by the results of their performance, but it is the things that are done before the results are visible that truly mark someone for greatness.

These are 3 characteristics of success that mark a winner.

A winner sets the pace. The winner is the one who is doing things the right way, and doing them the right way before it is the popular thing to do.

A winner puts in the time and energy to succeed, plans ahead, and works past obstacles before anyone asks. They are out in front, leading by example. A winner always gives 100%. Even when talent alone could be enough to carry them to victory, the winner is the one who works the hardest to be their best.

A winner works with the team. At times the chance to be excluded from the team is available, but a mark of a true winner is the choice to work with the team and take glory and blame as a part of the whole. A winner sees the team as the most valuable and will do anything they can to help other teammates grow and succeed.
