Champions
Lace them up, focus, get in the zone
Play hard, play fast, play together
Fight, never quit, play to the whistle, and then some
Have the heart of a champion
Hard work will pay off, blood, sweat, and tears
Ingredients of Champions
Champions rise to the occasion
Champions never back down
Champions are strong
Dance like Mike
Fight like Mike
Take flight like Mike
From the basketball court, to the gridiron
From the soccer field, to the baseball diamond
Be a champion
We all want to succeed
We must fight for what we want and need
You need to believe in yourself when no one else does
Be passionate, about the things you that you love
Look your competition in the eye, don't quiver in fear
Stand tall, be bold, fore your time is near
Don't look at defeat for what it is, learn from it
Come back, stronger and better than ever
Be hungry, be resilient
When push comes to shove, shove back
Take nothing for granted
You might take a swing and miss
You might get nothing but air
You might not be able to get both feet in
You might not hit the open man
But at the end of the day, you're a champion
Because you know you gave it your all
It's not about winning or losing
It's about refusing to quit
From the hockey rink, to the swimming pool
From the classroom, to the Oval Office
Be a champion
