Lance Armstrong Applied

Simplified, Lance Armstrong used four key points to motivate himself - and his large racing team:
- Positive Attitude (avoid "bad" air - negative attitudes)
- Clarity of Purpose (patience is part of it)
- Specialized Intelligence (remember what went wrong in the past, but adopt a big picture perspective)
- Pure Confidence (enjoy the process) (Kearns pages 92, 115, 139, 165).
Key point for me: setting goals like winning the Tour de France depends on setting goals on process. Practice far in advance. Stick to your game plan. Make goals that keep you engaged.
