Triathlon and Creating Talent

Let’s start with these two quotes of André Gide:

“Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.” Andre Gide. https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/andre_gide

“Fiction is history that might have happened. History is fiction that did happen.”  André Gide.  The Counterfeiters.

These two quotes of André Gide are the backbones of the project.  Working around champions gives an idea of the requirements to create a champion.   We have to assume that nobody listens and begin all over again, this statement is not related to somebody in particular but to athletes.  At the same time, we have to create a History that could help us to grow.  It was pointed out in our previous post.

Triathlon and the Alternative Facts

People are willing to believe in alternative facts because reality is overwhelming.  We become delirious believing in alternatives facts or psychotics when we see reality the way it is; training to face reality and alternative facts is needed if we want to achieve something with athletes.

As André Gide said: “Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.”  This is a touchy subject, repeating and insisting, starting all over again.  We have to do it with every athlete if we expect results.  Mike Tyson said it when he talks about Cus D’Amato.  Here, we repeated the same thing again.
