Alistair Brownlee

Relentless: Secrets of the Sporting Elite

Double Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee investigates and defines the meaning of “sporting greatness”. Brownlee, who won triathlon gold in the London and Rio Olympics, spent four years conducting extensive research and also interviewing some of the greatest minds in sport to understand what it takes to be a champion and stay one! In that time he spoke with scientists, thinkers, and elite figures from a cross section of sports including athletics, rowing, football, cricket, swimming, snooker and motor racing. Brownlee explains why an athlete needs more than just talent to reach the top of their game. It takes hard work, innovation, pain, pressure, stress, risk focus, sacrifice, ruthlessness, passion, luck, failure and even a lockdown to create and hone a mentality primed for winning and lasting success.
