Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong is a athlete and a professional bike cycler. Lance Armstrong was also in the Olympics to do achievements. When lance was thirteen years old he wanted to prove himself to others. So he started to do cycling and training to be an athlete.

In lances life he didn’t really have much friends and encouragement from others. Pretty much all lance had in his life was him, mom and his rude step father. Lance got punished a lot and brutally from his step father. He also didn’t like his father’s way of being disrespectful to him and his mom. so pretty much lance had an unhappy life. Soon after his mom left his step father. Lance still continued for cycling, and Olympic awards. He also continued training while his was beating and punishing him before his mom left him. And the most major things he had in life was what happent with him having cancer, super heart and muscle enhances.

Say lance Armstrong’s greatest accomplishment was finishing Olympic cycling, and winning awards also achieving goals to pass wards and gold medals. his accomplishment goals started when he was 16 years old through a lot of years. Lance started his career by getting in training for cycling in mountains and canyons. He did a lot of exercising and weight lifts to get strong and better for his accomplishments. This is one of his greatest accomplishments because he had cancer, muscle problems, and a super heart. He also had some pain problems that he really didn’t bug him but he did accomplish these. I think its cool for him having these problems and being a famous winner of the Olympics. 

Lance exemplifies self growth through these times. Lance showed self growth by all the training he did for these achievements because it helped him win medals and the cycling races. Lance also shows self-respect and achieving challenges by doing all the hard training and cycling training because he didn’t give up, he just continued the challenges. Another example is when he was getting tested for muscle, and super human jeans past down from family. Lance did not let these get in the way of his training and goals for the Olympics. He was pushing himself to go forward into the games and races for achievements. He also didn’t let anyone tell him he could not do anything even with his disrespectful dad in his life

     

Another way to explain the traits lance shows in his life is that by reading about lance Armstrong he was a leader role model to others. What I mean by  about that is while he was doing self growth and other traits. Also others would look up to him as a person who would not give up or put himself or others down. Lance was a type of person who could have changed publicity around him because he had muscle something, a really good pumping heart no one else could hardly have and strong mental encouragement for himself. People around him look up to him and see that because if you or someone had an issue or problem it doesn’t mean you have to give up, you could still do something and achieve a lot. Don’t let little things stop you from doing something. Work with a problem and keep going forward and at least achieve and think about the problem later.
