    Is there a way to say “Championship. . .It all starts with attitude” in Irish? Thanks a million!

    Depends rather on what you mean by Championship.

    Do you mean being or becoming a Champion?

    There is a saying:

    Beireann buan bua

    gets * constancy * victory

    such as, in order to win a championship, it all starts with attitude. . .

    Perhaps something like “Aigne láidir a bhuann an Chraobh” (“A strong mind wins the Championship”)?

    Aonghus, whats the literal translation of “eochair craoibhe meon”?

    Eochair = key
    craobh = branch but also championship
    meon = mental attitude

    The key to (winning) a championship is attitude
