The Definition of a Champion (Motivational Movie)



Source

This excellent 6 minute video highlights what it takes to be a sporting champion, but I believe that the attitude and work ethic that each of these sporting champions possess should apply to every goal or ambition that you may have in your own life. For example as a British professional singer and songwriter myself I have realised that I am at a distinct disadvantage with my classical vocal training as opposed to someone like Whitney Houston, who was blessed with an incredible talent, but more importantly learned how to use it to it's fullest potential thanks to her US gospel training. The American accent lends itself to powerful and effortless singing which s why so many phenomenal singers come from there. Hence I have to work at my voice with a US-based DVD and mp3 package every single day to replicate that gospel training. However I am determined and soon I'll be joining my sisters from the other side of the Atlantic.

Never aim to just be good or ok, always strive for greatness. Be the inspiration you which to see in the world.

This quote sums up what I believe it takes to be a true champion: “At some time you’re going to face your fears or your match and it’s okay to fail. You know, it’s okay. But, in my opinion, the true failure is in avoiding the confrontation or the challenge".

  1. Shena, I had no idea about the importance of accent in singing, whether the accent has to be American or otherwise! Wow, to me, a beautiful voice is just that whatever the accent, but then, as an outsider to the music industry, what do I know? Full praise to you for having the discipline and determination to gain the qualities that you need to get you where you want to be. Xx
