Most people have never heard of Chris Carmichael
After 6 consecutive Tour de France victories, Lance Armstrong has become a well-known figure among American professional athletes. Lance's coach, Chris Carmichael helped him win the Tour by clearly defining the goal and its challenges, assessing Lance's unique strengths and weaknesses relative to other riders, and defining a comprehensive program to ensure his success. Along the way, Chris was there to help monitor progress and recommend corrections when necessary. Chris didn't teach Lance to ride a bike, nor did he give Lance his sense of focus and determination. However he did develop revolutionary training programs and racing strategies that emphasized Lance's unique strengths and helped him achieve great results.
