“10 TRAITS OF WINNERS”
Here are 10 traits of winners:
A winner says “Let’s find out!” A loser says “Nobody knows!”
A winner makes commitments. A loser makes promises.
A winner learns from their mistakes. A loser learns only not to make mistakes by not trying anything different.
A winner listens. A loser just waits until it’s their turn to talk.
A winner is sensitive to the atmosphere around them. A loser is sensitive only to their own feelings.
A winner respects those who are superior to them. A loser resents those who are superior and tries to find kinks in their armor.
A winner would rather be respected than liked, although they would prefer both. A loser would rather be liked than respected, and is even willing to pay the price of mild contempt for it.
A winner takes a big problem and separates it into smaller parts, so that it can be more easily manipulated. A loser takes a lot of little problems and rolls them together until they are unsolvable.
The winner feels responsible for more than their job. A loser says, “I only work here!”
A winner explains, and a loser explains away.

“But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
To God be the glory,
Coach T
