In Friday’s blog I mentioned the 11 traits of being a champion as used by Toby Stanton, which he sent me after my Vettel blog. Here’s the second trait on his list:
Self-Assured: Champions, the really great ones, never really boast. They have a quiet self-assuredness that transcends talk, and they seldom distract themselves with such foolishness.
I think my list of “really great champions” just shrunk. How about yours? Use the comments section or twitter to let me know.

Ali might disagree. Perhaps the most boastful of them all. You could argue he was distracting other rather than himelf.

Agreed.
