    Lionel, have you spoken with or considered speaking with Craig Alexander? I know the race has changed a lot just in the last few years, but you two champions are so similar in your tenacity and commitment and Crowie is a master of planning out the year and training blocks. Idk, I can just see a really good partnership there. All the best man! Enjoy the journey. And realize that we as your supporters don’t expect anything from you in terms of results. We appreciate you and you impact our lives for the better. That’s an awesome thing. Something I try to do with my sons. Don’t carry the weight of disappointing us on your shoulders. It’s not real

I’ve been a sports fan ever since I could walk but I have never seen such an insight to not only the training and preparation, but the emotional highs and lows that come with being an athlete. You’re definitely one f my favorite athletes to follow! I hope you know that anytime your racing or making one of these videos you’re inspiring so many people to get better!!

    Speaking as a fan - you did NOT disappoint me. You are modeling thoughtful regard for yourself, the sport, and the people around you. I'm glad you're almost done beating yourself up, because that's unproductive AF. I wish you and your team peace, a productive journey, and that you will both give and get everything you hope to from this magnificent sport. Keep truckin', Lionel.

    Lionel, you have the gift to win at the World Championship in Kona. The middle way is the best approach. The bike fit is huge, if it's done correctly, and having a coach who can see the path forward from an outside point of view. This race has become so competitive now that every detail is important. We wish you luck and hopefully you can find the formula to win this race.

I'm already beyond the fitness I had when I won my AG at Boulder 70.3! It's been hard working 40hr weeks of management @Target. Everyday I'm walking 10-15 miles a day but watching a new post from you can pump me up for days. Keep it rolling man! I'm a stubborn shit head just like you but the lifestyle of a triathlete is nothing but living life in style. Rock on man!

    Again, love your transparency and honesty. Even in the midst of failure.
    Heard someone say to someone who questioned coaching, “Did you pay for the coaching? Do you trust the person giving the coaching? Then take the coaching.” We have to realize that good coaches see things with a clarity that we don’t. That’s why we hire them. It’s futile to pay them and then disregard what they say. If you feel a need to disregard what they ask of you then either you have a ego problem or you made a bad purchase and have no faith.

    I think a coach is the answer. An advisor who is a friend will be a yes man. Having many on the payroll is probably a mistake. Just my two cents. You have so much talent and drive. I just dont understand why you dont want one. Jan has one, as do all the other world class triathletes! It worries me for you as there are only so many prime years in an elite athletes life.

  • @aounjose

    Lionel goddamned, you have the best “hardware” in the field, the best motivation and are admirable for your openness on emotions. You have what it takes and got second last year in Kona. Get yourself 1 established trainer that have a proven record of making champions. Patrick Lange has Faris El Sultan and not a bunch of trainers that will only confuse you and themselves. Get your mindset on trusting that 1 trainer and you will see that next year you will be competing for the win!
    Go for it champ 😎💪🏼

    Someone I think that would be a very good asset to your team of advisers is Rich Roll. There's a guy who if you've read his books, went from barely making it up a flight of stairs one night to becoming an Ultra Ironman. He's a nutrition plant based guru for sure, but also a world class athlete which can advise on training. Good luck in assembling your team and look forward to seeing your forward progress.

  • @fiddleronthebike
    @fiddleronthebike 6 лет назад +1

    I really love the way you are analyzing yourself! And I believe most of what you said is spot on (may be it looks a bit arrogant when I "judge" your words that way... but as I'm exactly twice as old as you and having a very similar mindset and gone through much of what you are experiencing I dare to do so...). Working with a coach - look at Daniela Ryf! To be her coach is ...hard - very hard! Because she is as much of a bullhead as you are, and her coach Brett is grumbling about her all the time. But in the end success is unbelievable. And so I think... you also need a coach who was successful already, who's knowledge is undisputed, and who has nothing to prove; so you know what this guy says is correct - without a doubt, but if you don't everything like he wants, it doesn't damage the relationship and the work with him.
    I really hope to see you as the best version of yourself (as an athlete...) next year in Kona! So excited to watch that race... and - to be honest - though I hope Frodo will win next year, I hope he will beat you at a level where no other human being than him is able to do so... Continue you way, awesome to witness it...

    Ok so this year was not his best in terms of results, but so far in his short pro triathlon career, Lionel Sanders has managed to finish 2nd at Kona, win the ITU long course world championships, win back to back Challenge Samorin Championships, win many 70.3 races, win 3 full IM distance races including breaking the IM branded world record (since broken again by Tim Don), and finish on the podium in many other races. Many coached athletes would love such a resume! Lionel loves to experiment and push the limits in order to learn what works and what doesn't. I'm confident he'll figure everything out and that his best performances are still ahead of him. in the meantime we get to follow along and share in his fascinating journey through his videos and blogs. Thanks Talbot Cox as always for producing these vids!

Each has its place and I know you’ve been a huge supporter/proponent of indoor training, but I find it interesting that you are now looking to Boulder and San Diego, which I believe means you are planning to find a balance between indoor and outdoor sessions. I’ve also asked #triathlontaren to maybe do a video on this subject as I think many others would find this helpful, especially since “winter is coming” as #johnsnow says....

Trust a good coach. Swim is the shortest part, so move where a well rounded coach recommends, not where the swim coach lives. What have the successful champions done? They have a coach. PLEASE GO WITH ONE COACH. I want to see you with that Kona wreath on your head.
