What is the theme in It's Not About the Bike by Lance Armstrong?

Overcoming Obstacles is another theme in the book. Lance Armstrong shows many examples of conquering mountains and the elements in his racing. He also shows how the same skills and determination and mindset can allow a person to overcome any obstacle. There are so many times, starting with his childhood, actually even his birth, where he is going against the odds. When the obstacles come to Lance, he does not run from them or avoid them—he tackles them head-on, often against unbeatable odds and popular opinion.
