Book description
In 1999, Lance Armstrong made world headlines with the most stunning
comeback in the history of sport after battling against
life-threatening testicular cancer just eighteen months before
returning to professional cycling. His first book, It's Not About
the Bike, charted his journey back to life and went on to become
an international bestseller.
Now, in his much-anticipated follow-up, Armstrong shares more
details of his extraordinary life story, including the births of his
twin daughters Grace and Isabel. Never shy of controversy, Armstrong
offers, with typical frankness, his thoughts on training, competing,
winning and failure. He also tells of the work he did for the
foundation he created following his dramatic recovery, addresses the
daunting challenge of living in the aftermath of cancer and treatment,
and shares further inspirational tales of survival.
A fresh outlook on the spirit of survivors everywhere, Every
Second Counts is an account of a man who strives every day to
meet life's challenges - whether on his bike or off.
Every Second Counts
was first published in October 2003. In an interview with Oprah
Winfrey in January 2013, Lance Armstrong admitted to having taken
performance enhancing drugs in all seven of the Tours de France in
which he competed between 1999 and 2005. He was officially stripped
of these wins by the UCI, the world governing body for cycling, in 2012.
Lance Armstrong is a full time cancer fighter and was a
professional cyclist. He lives in Austin, Texas.
