They don t look to the sidelines during matches. They have support teams, but the ultimate responsibility lies with them, and they know it. Determination and Will - Champions are very determined and have great will power. Borg was unflappable, Chris Evert and Pete Sampras are quietly determined, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors are more confrontational and expressive in showing their will. Champions do not give in.
Champions develop resistance and when behind they fight until things turn around.
Competitive Spirit - Champions have a competitive spirit in everything they do. For example, Sampras finds a way to compete both against himself and within himself. Other players make it a personal fight. They are organized. They know where they are going and how to get there.
