Learn to "Live Strong" every day of your life
How does Lance Armstrong do it? One of the greatest athletes of all time has faced monumental obstacles on his journey to the pinnacle of the sports world as the record seven-time Tour de France champion. While his genetic gifts and killer instinct are superior, it's his exuberance for life that sets him apart as an athlete, celebrity spokesperson, and international icon for hope and living strong. How Lance Does It is an entertaining and powerful handbook for applying the secrets of a champion to your own peak performance goals.
Author Brad Kearns, a longtime friend of Armstrong and former champion professional triathlete, offers a unique insider's perspective. In this intimate and inspiring book he gives you direct access to the four success factors that Armstrong embodied as the world's greatest cyclist:
- Positive Attitude: Overcome difficult circumstances and maintain a winning environment by interpreting your past experiences and present circumstances in a positive light.
- Clarity of Purpose: Develop the deep commitment and focus needed to align your behavior and the pursuit of your goals with your ultimate life purpose.
- Specialized Intelligence: Cultivate your smarts by learning and improving from mistakes, making intuitive decisions, and adopting a big-picture perspective on life challenges.
- Pure Confidence: Develop a belief in your abilities that transcends tangible results by connecting with your most powerful motivator—a pure love of the pursuit of peak performance. In doing so, you will awaken your inner strength and banish the fear of failure forever.
By understanding the factors that make Lance Armstrong a champion and applying them to your own personal and professional goals, you can realize the highest expression of your talents—whether it's in a bike race or the rat race, in the boardroom or the living room—and cultivate an unbeatable joy for living every day to the fullest.
Brad Kearns has been a friend of Lance Armstrong since their days as teammates on the pro triathlon circuit in the late 1980s. A noted speaker, author, and coach, he has published four books on health and fitness, including Breakthrough Triathlon Training, and numerous articles for leading endurance publications worldwide. He lives in Auburn, California, with his wife, Tracy, and two children, Jack and Maria.
Library Journal
Inspiration of a different sort comes from champion athlete and coach Kearns (Breakthrough Triathlon Training), who tells readers how they can accomplish daily victories by applying cyclist Lance Armstrong's methods of thinking, living, and winning to their own lives. A longtime friend of Armstrong, Kearns has observed four factors that have led to success in all the cyclist's endeavors: a positive attitude, clarity of purpose, specialized intelligence, and pure confidence. Kearns concentrates as much on Armstrong's means of beating cancer as he does on his repeated winning of the Tour de France, a helpful approach for nonathletes. A decent how-to book but not significantly different from others; for larger libraries or where there is demand. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
