Becoming Titanium Man: Life Lessons from a Coach and Athlete Who Refused to Break - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

On a routine training ride, champion triathlete Mike Trees—a man who had just hit a career-defining peak at age sixty—crashed, shattering his femur and hip. Lying on the side of a remote road, the doctors told him his running days were likely over. They didn't know Mike. They didn't know the sheer, titanium-grade resilience forged over decades of elite competition.

This is more than a comeback story; it's a blueprint for making yourself unbreakable.

From the first agonizing steps of physical therapy to standing on the starting line of the world’s most grueling Ironman race less than a year later, Becoming Titanium Man is a riveting hybrid memoir. Mike pulls back the curtain on the extraordinary journey—including the painful recovery from a second, equally devastating injury just before his next major race—to reveal the mindset, methods, and sheer willpower it takes to defy impossible odds and compete at a world-class level in your sixties.

Whether you're an elite competitor facing career-ending injury, a weekend warrior pushing for a personal best, or simply someone looking for the courage to start again, Mike Trees proves that resilience isn't a gift—it's a choice.
