What it Takes to Become a Champion

What does it take to become a Champion? Often times, we look in and out of sports to find out the qualities of a true Champion. As the U.S. joins the fury of March Madness, it’s easy to highlight sports champions in the realm of basketball. Although the NCAA and the NBA have given us a good share of talented athletes who have embraced the meaning of what it takes to become a Champion, we ought to be reminded it is not our natural talents that define a Champion as Michael Jordan was cut from his High School basketball team. It’s also not the environment you grew up in, as Kobe Bryant grew up playing soccer in Italy or the benefits of being the son of a pro football player like Grant Hill that define a Champion. It's creating the simple habits of pushing yourself more, pushing past the current limits, the practice of self-discipline, desire and determination that distinguishes the best from the rest and caused these athletes to rise to become and be recognized as Champions. 

As TTEC joins the country in the fury of March Madness and remembers legendary champions in the NCAA, TTEC also recognizes and reminisces about our very own Licensed TTEC Health Champions of 2018. Based on the meaning of What it takes to be a Champion, each TTEC Champion featured here stood out by how they pushed themselves a little more than everyone else, were not satisfied with a “good job”, always looked for the competitive edge, practiced self-discipline, had the desire, determination to improve and become better all while embracing the TTEC Values.  

Keep in mind here success is often about stepping outside your comfort zone, pushing your own limits because it doesn’t require to become a pro athlete, a basketball player or a prodigy to become a champion.
