![]() Over his many years of working with the Great ones, a seven-time New York Times Best-selling author and longtime Associate Editor for Sports Illustrated, Don Yaeger has compiled these sixteen characteristics that every winner that exhibits. I think my fellow writers can apply these points to our own literary endeavors. ![]() HOW THEY THINK 1. It's Personal They hate to lose more than they love to win. 2. Rubbing Elbows They understand the value of association. 3. Believe They have faith in a higher power. 4. Contagious Enthusiasm They are positive thinkers... They are enthusiastic... and that enthusiasm rubs off. HOW THEY PREPARE 5. Hope For the Best, But... They prepare for all possibilities before they step on the field. 6. What Off-Season? They are always working towards the next game... 7. Visualize Victory They see victory before the game begins. 8. Inner Fire They use adversity as fuel. ![]() HOW THEY WORK 9. Ice In Their Veins They are risk-takers and don't fear making a mistake. 10. When All Else Fails They know how - and when - to adjust their game plan. 11. Ultimate Teammate They will assume whatever role is necessary for the team to win. 12. Not Just About the Benjamins They don't play just for the money. HOW THEY LIVE 13. Do unto Others They know character is defined by how they treat those who cannot help them. 14. When No One Is Watching They are comfortable in the mirror... they live their life with integrity. 15. When Everyone Is Watching They embrace the idea of being a role model. 16. Records Are Made to Be Broken They know their legacy isn't what they did on the field. They are well-rounded.
