Overview: The article discovers that when one thinks of himself as an athlete, it affects how he views competitive challenges, how he views opponents, how receptive he is to instruction from a coach or mentor. The article proposes to be a Champion, not a conqueror or cheerleader. There are three types of competitors: Conquerors, Cheerleaders, and Champions. Conquerors view sports -- and business -- through a military lens. Opponents are to be feared, destroyed, annihilated. Teams battle for honors; they blast, beat, and defeat each other. Rivals are mutilated, slaughtered, humiliated, pummeled. Competition is about defeating, subduing and displaying dominance. To define success for one’s own self, he should figure out what is meaningful and realistic for the organization. He should support the teammates. Teammates are different from friends. Teammates are people who support one to achieve the goals. They usually share some of the goals too.
