Product Description
"’Lance hates losing, but is not afraid of it.’" This fearless approach gave Lance the freedom to take the risks required to achieve peak performance and to continue to seek improvement even while at the top of his sport."
--from How Lance Does It What is the secret to someone like Lance Armstrong’s consistent and phenomenal success? Is it something you’re born with, or is it something that can be acquired, developed, and perfected? Author Brad Kearns observes four success factors in Armstrong that can provide inspiration and direction to help you live like a champion every day. No magic tricks, silly acronyms, mind games, or gimmicks. How Lance Does It captures the pure essence of Armstrong from every angle, including the secrets for harnessing your own inner strength in every challenge you face, from business to parenting to stress management. "Brad Kearns has a refreshing perspective on peak performance that he captures eloquently in his writing. While being intensely competitive and focused on winning is great, Kearns reminds us that our greatest rewards come when we are motivated by pure love of the experience."
--Lance Armstrong

 How Lance Does It-Overdone August 23, 2007
I truly admire Lance and what he is done, but this book overdoes it a bit!

There were a couple of Lance stories I hadn't heard before, but, overall, it wasn't a good Lance book nor did it impress me as a motivational tool. Save your money: re-read It's Not About the Bike. It's better written, tells a better Lance story and is a darn sight more motivational.

"How Lance Does It" is a good and motivational "airplane read." Author Brad Kearns, a former high-level triathlete, explores how Lance Armstrong's approach to sport and life can function as an effective template for our own success and self development.
Some may tire of the elevation of Lance Armstrong as the greatest cyclist, the greatest athlete, the greatest Dad, the greatest philanthropic fund-raiser, et cetera, et cetera. It is difficult to deny that Armstrong is an extraordinary person.
The problem is, does his way work for us and for YOU? Can it? Should it? Should we find our own path?
Yes, the book is motivational but for how long? Is it be motivational equivalent of Chinese food -- 30 minutes later, you're hungry again and the effect wears off?
Nevertheless, there is more good than bad in this short book. Some may find it unseemly idolatry of Lance Armstrong. Others will draw inspiration from it and it is the latter group which is the target audience most likely of author Brad Kearns.
 For guys who can only dream to stand on the Podium February 8, 2007
For normal "everyday guys" who wonder how guys like Lance Armstrong approach training and racing but will never "stand on a podium in Paris" themselves this book is a must....Ive read every book about Lance Armstrong that I know about and this is the first one to give me insight into how Lance got "through it". Its the first book about Lance that I can actually use in my own life as an average guy doing average workouts and racing in the middle of the pack at the average Triathlon or 10k race! On top of that Brad Kearns sense of witty humor and his entertaining style of writing keep you in "the game". A good book for a pro racer who really does have a shot at the podium in Paris.....But better for the average guy like me who can only dream.....
Great Book! February 8, 2007

Brad Kearns book "How Lance Does It" is a very well written and tremendously helpful read for anyone interested in performing their best - in all areas of life. Kearns has a frank, strong and empowering way of writing. He does not back down or "soften the blow". If something needs to be said, he lay's it out there which is really refreshing!
This is a great addition to the library of any person who is passionate about living well, growing or improving how they live life.
