Insights on how the race will unfold
Athletes who stand to make a lasting imprint on this race
Finally, "the Grip" provides his thoughts on what it really takes to be world class. It's an unforgettable moment from the "Master of Mindset" himself and we know it will leave an indelible impression on anyone seeking world-class performance.
