I'm Here To Win

A World Champion's Advice for Peak Performance

De: Chris McCormack, Tim Vandehey

Narrado por: Howard Brunner, Chris McCormack

In I'M HERE TO WIN, Chris "Macca" McCormack opens his playbook and reveals everything it takes-mind, body, and spirit-to become a champion. Now he shares the story of his triumphs and the never-say-die dedication that has made him the world's most successful triathlete.

In 2010, at the age of 37, Macca beat the odds and won the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii for a second time in what many called the most dramatic finish in the race's history. Macca's journey to athletic greatness is more than just one of physical perseverance. After coming in fourth in Hawaii in 2009, Macca returned to the island on a mission: He was there to win. A game plan containing a new strategic approach to winning brought him first across the finish line.

Chris McCormack has dedicated his life to training for-and winning-the Ironman Hawaii, one of the most grueling tests of mental and physical endurance in the world. The race challenges athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full marathon, 26.2 miles, using all their strength and willpower to overcome the incredibly harsh conditions.

In I'M HERE TO WIN Macca provides concrete training advice for everyone-from weekend warriors who casually compete to seasoned veterans who race every week to armchair athletes looking for an extra push-and provides insight into the mind of a great champion with excitement and inspiration at every turn.

I'M HERE TO WIN is also available as an enhanced e-book with embedded video and audio.

Fantastic. Worth Listening/Reading

Highly recommend. His personality and mindset which are key in his success come out in the book, helpful and practical for anyone looking to become an expert at anything.

The other side of Chris McCormack

I've always liked Macca. I know he was portrayed as being rude and egotistical but in this book you see the why behind it. Macca spoke at my first half Ironman in New Orleans. It was then I knew he wasnt how he was portrayed. There are some training tips but this is definitely not that kind of book. This book is perfect for the Macca fan or for someone who wants to have a glimpse into the other side of professional triathletes. The narrator was pleasant and easy to understand. I have more respect now for Macca than I ever have after hearing his story. LOVE IT!

Excellent

This a must read book to whom loves triathlon. Very good life experience and tips sharing, helping to understand and avoid error in the triathlon path.

great motivational story

If you could sum up I'm Here to Win in three words, what would they be?

Inspiring, bold, fun

Who was your favorite character and why?

Maca- he's got drive, talent, boldness, and a great sense of humor. Aussies make some of the best triathletes. They know how to have fun

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

yes, great narration- it moves with enthusiasm

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

to follow your dreams, like Chris did when he left the security of a job for the life of a pro and didn't have a clue what was going to happen next

Any additional comments?

Maca should come back to Kona and do another Ironman - he is great at any distance. Everyone experiences the heat, so it's an even playing field

Great to listen to multiple times

I can listen over and over again. Chris McCormack tells a great story, and his energy, enthusiasm, excitement and style is captured by the narrator.
