I’ve boxed many people in their own backyard plenty of times – in China, I boxed a Chinese girl in the final of the world championships, and I’ve boxed Russians before in their home nation as well.
I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.
This era is like, ‘Oh, I want to win championships, and how many rings do you have?’ I’ve said that’s what I play for: to win. But I’m not as overly consumed by that as how I treat people around me. And how I care about the people around me.
I am proud of what I was able to do, the races I was able to win and the championships, but that had as much to do with the teams and the people I worked with as well. Its not something you just do on your own; it’s a whole army.
When I started playing basketball, it’s about winning championships and being a great player.
I want to be the IC Champion. I want to be the U.S. Champion. I want to be the tag team champion. I want to hold all the championships.
I became number one just after the World Championships in India. I was very young then, and I remember it was just a great feeling, my first World Championship.
I thought those three years when we won championships, I really was good enough to play in the All-Star game. I felt I deserved to be in the top whatever that would be, the top 20-some players in the league. Really felt that comfortable and confident on the basketball court.
If Tim Duncan had ‘Knicks’ on his jersey, he’d be a god. He’d be more than Patrick Ewing. With four championships and two MVPs, I think people realize he’s one of the best ever, but if he played in New York, he’d be way more famous.
If you win a championship, you win it doing many of the same things you had to do when we won championships. You have to be unselfish. You have to work very hard. You have to be resilient. You have to have a passion for what you do.
It used to be you a needed a true center to win championships, but now the point guard position holds just as much weight.
Let’s go fix problems that I have and let’s do what I need to do to win championships.

I came to Indiana for one reason: I think you can win championships at Indiana.
In wrestling, if you want to be the best wrestler, you show up at the U.S. Nationals. If you win that, you go to World Team Trials. You make the World Team, you go to the World Championships, and we all know who the best is at the end of the year.
No matter how much you’ve won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you’re not winning now, so you stink.
I think when you’re chasing major championships, any of them will do.
I don’t get grumpy at a ‘Strictly’ level, you understand. We’re just making a television show – the person I’m dancing with can’t dance; they’re doing their best, and we’re not going to win the World Championships.
Most people watch a game because they’re excited about it; I’ll sit there and watch lacrosse championships to try to find a female who could be a bobsledder.
I’ve made up my mind. Lugano was my last World Championships as a coach.
I look back at 1993 or 1994 when I made it to the National Championships, and I was on used skates and handmade or borrowed costumes. But my mom was there every step of the way for me: she was the one traveling with me all over the world at age 13.
I was always fearful I would become That Guy. The guy who had regret. ‘Yeah, we won a couple of championships, but I never saw my kids grow up. Yeah, we beat Georgia a couple of times, but I ruined my marriage.’
I’d probably say the championships mean more to me, but the gold medal makes you a bit different. It’s a special award.

As an outsider, when you think of Indiana, you think about a place that not only has championships but a championship tradition.
As a competitor, you’re always taught that you want win championships. You want to put yourself in the best place to do that.
Some of the occurrences leading up to and immediately following the Berlin World Championships have infringed not only my rights as an athlete but also my fundamental and human rights, including my rights to dignity and privacy.
It is extremely difficult to get a medal at the World Championships, even more than the Olympics. And when one is not 100 per cent prepared, it is next to impossible to win a medal there.
I want to be part of that long list who have achieved great things with McLaren, won races and championships.
I have read that I was a Bill Bradley type. I wish I was a Bradley. He was one of the best. He helped his team win two championships, and that’s the ultimate.
From my point of view, I’d like to bring other meaningful events through WWE, whether that’s NXT or the United Kingdom championships, taking international brands and putting them on in those markets.
I would really love to win one of the men’s championships and throw a complete curve ball, like, out of nowhere.
When I wrapped ‘Falling Skies,’ I took a trip to the Caribbean to visit my grandma, which is great. I was out there for two weeks in Grenada. Then after that, I went to Poland for two and a half weeks to go watch some of the European soccer championships.
I have three championships in a country where I don’t speak the language.
The Olympics will be great for the growth of golf on a global scale, but my focus right now is on being the best player I can be, trying to win Major Championships and contributing to what will hopefully be a victorious European side at the forthcoming Ryder Cup Matches against the USA.
Though I’d have to say it was generally the guys in Detroit, as a group, that won the two Championships. They were terrific and I always look back very fondly.
It’s sad that we have to be measured by how many championships we win.
A team like Brooklyn has seen everything, they’ve experienced everything, they’ve had every atmosphere you can have in the playoffs and some of them have won championships. That’s the advantage you have as an experienced team and the disadvantage you have as a young team.
In a day and age when there are so many culinary competitions – ranging from contests of taste to those of technique – The World Food Championships will be the ultimate food competition.

I won the 2011 Visa Championships, the 2012 Pacific Rims, and then the 2013 American Cup (the first and only senior elite competition of my elite career).
It is exciting to be recruited by North Carolina, UCLA, Syracuse and other schools that have won many national championships. But as I prayed about it and talked with my family, I felt that BYU was the best place for me.
You can’t win championships without playing great defense.
Wins and championships – I want it all. I want there to be no doubt who I am. I want there to be no doubt that I’m a winner.
I won championships and races and earned my super-licence to get to Formula One. Of course, I was very fortunate to be in the position I was in, but at the same time, I delivered.
It’s become a lot bigger than just winning championships. It’s about inspiring hopefully millions at some point in my career.
All of the teams in this league that have won multiple championships, they didn’t come out the gate winning. Sometimes you have to take those hits to understand what it takes to win.
My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons.

I’ve learned the number one job of a pro manager is not to win championships but to keep their job.
We will win championships.
He’s got everything. He’ not a great player yet because he hasn’t won any major championships, but it’s a matter of time. He’s an outstanding talent. I didn’t realize how tall he is.
I fancy our chances at the European Championships.
I’m trying to let winning the world championships settle in right now before I begin training again shortly. During the skating season, we skate on average 20 kilometres a day. On top of that, we’re riding a lot and lifting a lot of weights.
I’m not going to be a guy that retires and keeps coming back. When I’m gone, I’m gone. Same thing as amateur wrestling; when I won the world championships in Olympics, I left and I never went back. Same for pro.
