THE MINDSET OF A CHAMPION - Arnold Schwarzenegger (Motivational Video)

when I used to do seminars on how to become a champion I I would always ask people why do You Want To Be A Champion or what do you want to accomplish why are you training and they will if if a guy will get up and he would say well I want to train because I think that if I get muscular and um you know I feel like I'm getting the kind of definition then I maybe can end up a bodybuilding competition I said sit down and if you think this way you're going to be a loser you're never going to make it because there's no maybe you got to get up and say I want to be a champion and I do whatever it takes the amount of hours it takes the posing the this the that the visualization looking at training footage looking at motivational books reading this read whatever it takes I would do that's the answer I want to hear from you you can detect right away those that are going to be shaky and that will fall behind and they will not go all the way and those that are very hungry and that hunger you have to develop because you have to create a goal for yourself whatever that may be a short-term goal and a long-term goal you got to go after that and if you do not see it and if you do not believe it who else will experiencing uh pain in your muscles and aching and just then go on and go on and then gone and this last two or three or four repetitions that's what makes actually the muscle then grow and that's divides then one from a champion and one from not being a champion if you can go through this pain barrier you make it to be a champion if you can't go through forget it and that's what most people like is on this having the guts the guts to go in and just say I go through and I don't care what happens you know it aches and if I fall down I I have no fear of fainting in a gym because I know it's it it could happen I threw up many times while I was working out but it doesn't matter because it's all worth [Music] it everyone has a problem with time but the day is 24 hours and we sleep 6 now I know there's some out there that say whoo whoo whoo whoo I need eight well I say just sleep a little faster because the bottom line is we have 6 hours of sleep 24 hours are available so you have 18 hours now available to your work your family your hobbies and also to learn something new or to do something new which could easily be that you want to learn a new language or that you want to read as a you New Year resolution after to read a book every week or or you say I'm going to go and reshape my bodyy so you're going to go and take this hour out of your schedule and say I'm going to train an hour every day so this is for most people a huge challenge but it is totally doable I can tell them because the kind of things that I did when I came to this country I mean I went to school I was working in construction I was working out my 5 hours a day I was taking acting classes from 8:00 at night to 12: midnight I was doing all of those things I wanted to make sure that out of the 24 hours of the day that I don't waste one single hour those hours were too precious and so I just want to tell people don't give give me this thing I have a difficult time with the time and I don't have time for this I don't have that you have time you make the time had this need of coming to America I mean when I started learning about America at the age of 10 we we got geography lessons and uh learned about uh America and about the so the first photographs I remember in this uh photos in the textbook but also in Super 8 mm film footage that they showed in the class class room you know about the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building and the six Lane highways and all this I said what am I doing here in Austria with there's little roads I want to go over there I want to be part of the the big deal and so I had always this desire and I felt like that the only whereever we get to America because in those days it wasn't common that you buy yourself a ticket no one could afford that so I had to kind of accomplish something big that takes me to America and then when I I read about this guy re Park who won Mr the universe three times and then became a star in Hercules movies and then was in Italy filming and then in Hollywood filming I felt that could be the ticket I should become Mr Universe I should become kind of a second Rich Park of course no one really bought into that my parents thought it was totally insane and uh but they just I think that uh my parents really thought that there was something terribly wrong of being de driven you know because I would come home at lunchtime and then instead of having lunch I would do 200 situps and at night I would go to the stadium and I will be lifting weights I would come home at 10:00 at night and there will be continue lifting weights so it was like one of this Insanity in the military I will continue lifting weights no matter how the training was and how tough the basic training was I would always then lift weights afterwards I think it's the most important thing that we have a very clear vision of where we go a goal where where do we go because you can have the best ship in the world you can have the best cruise liner but if the captain does not know where to go that ship will drift around the world and out there the sea and will never end up anywhere and this is exactly the way it is in real life if you don't have a go if you don't have a vision you just drift around and you're not going to be happy this is why it is so important to have that Vision now I created that Vision in Austria because I grew up after the second World War Austria right along with Germany lost the second world war and the problem was that everyone was so depressed because they lost the war that there was alcoholism everywhere there was of course depression there was a terrible economic situation there was famine there was starvation and all those things and also it was kind of a little place and Nero I felt kind of I wanted to get out of there I wanted to escape and I couldn't see myself really to work there and to stay there to work in the factory to work in the farm or even to follow My Father's Footsteps and to become a police officer I couldn't see that either as a matter fact that's what my my parents wanted me to do but that's not what I saw this was the vision of my parents but not [Applause] mine you get to work your butt off um if you think that you're going to go and accomplish something really special and be the best in anything in the world and you think you can do it without working you make a big mistake because no matter what I did if it was in bodybuilding or in acting or if it is in a political Arena uh it always took a lot a lot of work and you got to put out and you got to you know something make a lot of sacrifices in no as if you're not willing to work hard forget about it so there is another rule that is very important don't be afraid to fail uh because if you're afraid to fail then you're always holding yourself back because you're afraid that if you go all out you may fail well in weightlifting we learned that very quickly the only way you could break a record is if you're willing to fail that's when you put on more weight you try it sometimes you maybe don't you would not be able to lift it uh which has happened to me many times but eventually when you train hard enough you will lift it so don't be afraid to failure I mean how far can you [Music] fall [Music]
