THE DEPTH OF PREPARATION

“The reason Lance was so great at cycling is the complexity of the sport and the depth of the preparation requires. Sure he has the boxer’s mentality, which is important. But that alone will just get you over trained or defeated in competition by a superior strategist. You have to be willing a motivated to do the right work, confident so you don’t do too much or too little, and strategically prepared for a peak performance. You must never lack motivation, and you must have a strong desire to just eat people up—physically and mentally,”
