Here is a guy who laid everything on the line to win an Olympic Gold Medal. He had the will and determination to train harder and faster than everyone else to win…

German Triathlete and Olympic Gold Medalist, Jan Frodeno

I had the privilege of watching Jan (who races for Germany but has local South African roots) race a Western Province Championship Triathlon in 2002 and just knew that he was going to be a world class athlete. In 2008 he proved that by winning the Beijing Olympics men’s triathlon in an extremely close sprint finish. See the highlights of the 2008 Olympic Triathlon here:

I will leave you with this thought: What are you doing to become your best?
