Carrie interviews first-time author and former ESPN staffer, Jeremy Bhandari, about his book, "Trust the Grind: How World-Class Athletes Got To The Top." Yes, most people think sports celebrities are super-human (and I swear many of them are), but how did they achieve such greatness? How did some of these athletes go from “lanky awkward teen” to MVP in the NFL or Olympian?  By adhering to strict principles - a few of which we’ll talk about today. There are also many who say, “I could never do that,” when it comes to writing a book, but it can be done and we’ll also talk about the process of book outlines, writing a manuscript, and finding a publisher - as a new author. So, if your goal is to get good -- nope --- GREAT at anything...Have a listen and let’s find out how the likes of Deena Kastor, Jimmie Johnson, Chipper Jones, Jason Kidd, and many others went about doing it.

Sue Reynolds, author of "The Athlete Inside" talks candidly about how, in her late 50s and early 60s, she lost 200 pounds and found an athlete hiding inside her body. From her first walk to the neighbor’s mailbox to finishing sixth (and first American) at the World Triathlon Championship, Reynolds discovered the joy of conquering fear and pride to find that the best version of herself had been there all along. 100% of the book proceeds are going to USA Triathlon Foundation to help those with disabilities pursue their triathlon dreams.

Kelly O’Mara, Editor-in-Chief of Triathlete Magazine, has been a contributor at Triathlete for a while and you may know her “Salty Triathlete” columns - a hilarious, often sarcastic look at some of our type A idiosyncrasies. Kelly took over the helm of Triathlete earlier this year when…you know…things were normal. We were scouting races, people wanted pool workouts, volunteers were allowed to take your clothes off, see your naked smelly body, and help you change in a changing tent amidst the hysterical mass of sweat and all sorts of bodily droplets — not any more. Her editorial calendar? Out the window. Correspondents at races? Nope. As an athlete herself, Kelly was also thrown into the abyss with the rest of us. What do you do when you’re the leading voice of a sport that was essentially left rudder-less? You connect, you adapt, and you use the resources you have to keep people engaged. The result? A product that is better than ever. Triathlete Magazine - Here's How You Can Help Right Now

It was 10 years ago that The Engine 2 Diet Book was released. It was also 10 years ago that my Doctor told me that I had ridiculously high cholesterol and needed to either take a pill or adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. Neither sounded particularly appealing, but after reading The Engine 2 Diet book, I was inspired to give this "healthy eating" thing a whirl. In just 8 short weeks of living plant strong, my cholesterol dropped 60 points and I lost 10 lbs...I also did my 2nd Ironman that same Spring and set a 34 minute personal best!  It's been an amazing 10 years and to celebrate a decade of plant-strong living, I spoke with the gentleman who inspired me to start it all: Rip Esselstyn.  Engine 2 Diet   Copyright 2019 All Rights Reserved
