Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive method - run as hard as possible, for fear of losing - fostered a frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinking - shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilient - could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible.

Kara Goucher grew up with Olympic dreams. She excelled at running from a young age and was offered a Nike sponsorship deal when she graduated from college.

La différence entre les champions et les espoirs : le mental. Les sportifs donnent souvent l'impression d'être des rocs impénétrables et incassables. Dans l'imaginaire collectif, l'exigence liée aux compétitions, à l'entraînement quotidien suppose un mental d'acier, une force morale surhumaine qui ne peut se permettre de plier à la moindre difficulté rencontrée.
