"After settling into a comfortable pace. I became totally focused on my breathing and the rhythmic movement of my legs pumping the pedals. I asked Monty if we were going faster than last time and he could barely talk; he just nodded his head. To me, the pace felt sluggish, so I picked it up. A few miles later I looked around and I was all alone...

Whenever I allowed the pressure of the outside world to influence me (money, recognition, the expectations of others) fear and anxiety would creep in and my performances would suffer. When I focused on the pure enjoyment of the sport and doing my best regardless of the result, I was able to tap into a deep source of power that allowed me to experience peak performance."

The title "Only Those Who Dare, Truly Live" refers to applying the qualities of a champion athlete to succeed in all areas of life. It's not easy; it takes courage to overcome self-limiting beliefs and take powerful, dramatic action to shatter the barriers in the way of peak performance. It takes motivation, commitment and discipline -  qualities that will be inspired in you as you follow the 7 Steps.

The unique format of this booklet features practical unstructions and written exercises interspersed with real-life success stories from my career as a professiona; triathlete. Enjoy!
