I f you're a tired athlete looking for inspiration, look no further than this collection of short stories written by Alan Pitman. No matter what sport you're passionate about, you'll find insights that will help you hone your focus and boost performance. You'll also be entertained by his many adventures. Although he's coached more than three hundred Ironman finishers over twenty five years, Pitman shares that at times, even he's found it hard to train. That's why he recommends having a training partner, as it's easier to let yourself down than one of your friends waiting out in the cold on a dark morning. As you read Pitman's stories, you'll be challenged to never settle for anything other than excellence, to set lofty goals, and keep going when you want to give up. You'll also learn how to prevent injuries, take calculated risks, build self-esteem, embrace change, and learn from failure. Get motivated and get moving with 100 Bedtime Stories for Triathletes.
