Winners always put in that extra effort, even when it hurts. Athletes train for 15 years for 15 seconds of performance. Take the case of Michael Phelps. Two years before his spectacular Beijing Olympics performance, he fractured his arm and doctors told him he wouldn't be able to swim. But he did and defeated Mark Spitz to win 8 gold medals, besides breaking his own record!

Success is not the absence of problems, it is overcoming the problems.
