    • If you have the right mindset, teamed with the commitment, passion and belief – anything is possible. Ronaldo is a legend in his own league, he knows he is the best, believes he is the best, first at training last to leave..probably trains at home too in various forms, does not listen to the negative ninnys…. does what the majority are not willing to do to stay the best….if you emulate what this sporting legend does, there s no reason why you too can not be great.
