The article focuses on his 5th Tour de France victory and is absolutely excellent in terms of leadership, teamwork, and mental toughness. Lance certainly is one of the most compelled athletes ever. Learn from his intense competitive will, fan the flames in yourself, and look to instill it in your teammates.
