Only a complete fighter can become champion.

It's almost as if it will come fall right on your lap. I know that I want to be champion.

Chris JerichoCoach's Rule: never admit a lack of experience or knowledge. Carry on at all times as though you've guided a hundred champion crews.

This was going to be a champion cat.
