There is an insatiable "winning fire" burning deep inside all great athletes. This "fire" sets them apart, drives them, forces them to perform at greater heights, turns athletic challenges into personal quests. The final three-point shot at the buzzer...the ninety-eight-yard touchdown drive with no timeouts remaining...the forty-foot, downhill, double-breaking eagle putt at the eighteenth green for the title. This is what they live for, and What Makes Winners Win intimately explores that winning fire in these unique individuals. It is through their personal experiences, as shared with NBC sportscaster Charlie Jones, that we can learn how to be "winners."
