What it takes to be an Ironman – with Sam Long

He is one of the most outspoken personalities in triathlon – and maybe all of professional sports: Sam Long is bringing power and fun to the competition, yet he’s built an impressive track record with multiple Ironman wins. But it’s not just about trophies, it’s about the mindset, his transparency about the highs and lows and furthermore about his belief that failure is a necessary part of being successful. Sam is talking about growing up in Boulder, how swimming is the hardest discipline for him, and why he doesn’t like to be called an influencer.
