Ironman athletes are a special breed, and Tim Van Berkel is one of the top Ironman athletes in the world!

Tim started his pro career back in 2005, and has had multiple career Ironman and 70.3 wins, podiums and special results. Including a career best performance of 7th at the Ironman World Championships in Kona. 

We sat down and had a great chat with Tim where he opened up about:

• His best career performances and wins
• How he motivates himself compared to other athletes
• Why his old mindset caused poor performance in the past
• How differently he prepares for races now after 15 years in the sport
• The surprising mental tactics he uses to stay calm and perform well

We always love getting to chat to a pro athlete and this was no exception. We thank Tim for his time and can't wait to see him continue to perform at the top level of triathlons with hopefully some more big results to come.

We've heard some extremely valuable and rare lessons from the expert guests and pro athletes on our podcast, so we collected the very best tips and advice from all of them and put them all on 1 cheatsheet:
