Thanks for all the lovely messages and comments!
It’s been a tough old road and I’m grateful we can share it with you all 🫶🏼
Please leave a comment with your feedback so we can keep getting better and better at this TH-cam game!
🥰🥰🥰
The best part is opening the box. The power of setting goals write them down, planning how to get there and visualizing.
"Not sure the (bike) course suits me" ? Wow! This kid is a monster and so exciting to watch.
Je t'avais découvert avec la vidéo de Tristan dans laquelle tu semblais tellement déterminer à atteindre tes objectifs. Aujourd'hui tu as atteint ton Graal. Cette nouvelle vidéo, nous montre qu'une victoire en sport individuel n'est pas individuelle mais collective, et c'est encore plus beau quand le collectif est sa propre famille. Bravo à toi, et continue de nous faire rêver !
I'm rarely influenced by sponsors and the brand but I'll have to admit that I ended up purchasing a headband from Compressport only because I saw you wearing one of their cool bands during your world championships win. Hint to sponsors. Support athletes. They are a great return on your investment - visibility, branding, and gullible athletes like me and probably many others who spend money on things they need or didn't know they needed.
Likewise looking at Fusion gear great danish brand, Italian made, rocked by the world champ 🙌
Well, the cool band is actually from Omius 😎
😂 me too even if it doesn't give me the same flow😅
Yep first thing I did after 2022 kona was search for that headband
i bought the calf guards cuz freddie funk. but he told me only noticable above 50km/h. so, i don't wear them 🤣🤣
salut Sam u beautiful human with a beautiful Family, strong man and inspiration for us.
Drôle, émouvant, puissant…ça faisait très longtemps que j’avais pas regardé un documentaire sportif qui m’a procuré autant d’émotions. Bravo pour la performance sportive incroyable bien sur, bravo d’avoir partagé tout cela avec tous les passionnés de sport et bravo à Acrofilm pour la réalisation incroyable. Bravo et merci
Meilleure vidéo de triathlon en 2023
The best parts about the Documentary are when the people talk about Sam and you see their Eyes Light up when they talk about him and his journey.Good People and Athletes make other people feel good about themselves👍
Congrats on the win!!! And also Sam is crushing it on TH-cam. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks mate!
Quelle inspiration - et si besoin etait, confirmation que visualiser et croire en ses reves est la premiere etape. Merci Sam
Je garde ce souvenir de Kona qui ne me quitte pas. De me dire Sam est dingue …il ne tiendra pas la distance et pourtant au fond de moi cette envie profonde qu’il gagne. Nice 2023 et ce sacre incroyable. Réussir à contenir ses poursuivants. Wouah. C’est fort. Un athlète rock’roll comme on les aime. Un vidéo enrichissante sur le clan. Un entourage de choix pour performer. Une longue carrière en perspective.
SAM, I was the last age grouper you overtook before your finish line in Nice, and I have to say that even though I had a really bad performance that day, witnessing you win the world champs first hand made it a great race for me, so THANK YOU! And thank you for what you bring to an otherwise "discipline and suffering-based, lonely" sport ;-)))
Merci à toute la famille pour avoir ouvert vos coeurs et vos portes pendant cette période si importante avant Nice. Nous avons regardé en famille , c’est bien la première fois que Mika ne parle pas pendant 1heure😉 un grand grand merci, ça donne chaud au coeur.
C'est un super documentaire. Très intéressant cette force familiale. Encore bravo pour le titre.
J'en ai vu des docs sur/par des triathlètes, mais celui-ci a quelque chose de spécial, d'émouvant, comme toi Sam... Beau reportage en tout cas, très inspirant , pour le béotien ou pour le vieux soldat "triathlète age group" comme moi. J'étais sur la Prom à Nice pour t'encourager , et les autres pros Français, quelle émotion! Et bravo à Arthur aussi. Et ce n'est que le début ! Yes !
Such a massive documentation. Gives me goosebumps while watching it.
What an amazing journey and to think Sam is only at the start of it! Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Sam, nice documentary, congrats on winning the World Championship. Congrats to your family too. Bravo, I have been following you for a while and now seeing you in top of the podium is just like the cherry in top of the pike. Felicitaciones de Corazón.
It all comes down to the 23rd !
Un chiffre magique, qui a une symbolique forte à mes yeux et dans ma famille également
Ça résonne tellement
Merci Sam, à toi et toute ta famille, vous êtes tellement inspirants!
Félicitations, hâte de voir la suite pour toi!
Full support 🫶🏻
Tu nous donne beaucoup d’inspiration.
Merci pour ton courage, ta détermination.
Merci
Amazing doc. Sam is the evidence that hard work wins, massive respect
great film! So hyped to get to training right now. congratulations again on the mind blowing performance. keep it up!
Bravo champion, c’est totalement mérité. Bravo acrofilm pour la réalisation 🙏🏼
Fier d’avoir été bénévole au bon moment et d’avoir pu assister à cette masterclass 🎉💪🏼 congrats Sam!
Merci Sam & family & team for this adventure, i was so excited watching your incredible perf in Kona last year, yet you managed to push it further this year in Nice. Keep on pushing the limits!
C'est impressionnant ce que tu as accompli Sam! Bravo pour ta trajectoire et ton parcours, à ta famille et à toute l'équipe derrière ce documentaire. Ça fait plaisir de voir les collègues du Lycée sportif accomplir ses rêves!
Quality Sam, loved following you since I came 8 places behind you at Lakesman 2019, albeit 2hrs difference. Chapeau. x
All praises to The king ! This is awe insparing ! Thanks sam
Gagner une course c’est une chose, gagner un ironman c’est autre chose, gagner les championnat du monde…, mais transmettre les émotions comme tu le fais c’est tout simplement magique. Hâtes de découvrir la suite. Bravo à Acrofilm !
Un docu tant attendu. Je ne me lasse pas de le regarder. Quel boulot! Bravo Benoît, c'est énorme! Et bravo Champion Sam! Je suis fan ;)
It was a joy to watch this documentary!
"We are only just getting started" 🔥
Yes Sam 💪 I’ve watched everything. Good luck this season 🏊♂️ 🚲 🏃♂️
This is very wholesome and inspirational. Wish you nothing but the best, champ!
Superb! Glad to have trained and stayed with such a special family in Amelie 💪
Incroyable reportage ! Des frissons ! Merci d’avoir « ramené la coupe à la maison » !!
What a fantastic watch. Beautiful
Quelle superbe vidéo! Amazing hard to find words... chapeau Sam et encore bravo à toi et à toute ta famille!!! le futur s'annonce fabuleux félicitations
Bravo Sam, le documentaire est superbe, à la hauteur de tes perfs. T'es une superbe inspiration, meme pour les amateurs. Encore bravo
Incredible video. Fantástico! Thanks for documenting this journey. Obrigado!
Félicitations mec, quelle talent tu as!! Hâte de te voir gagner plein d’autres championnats
Amazing. Brought a tear to my eye. From listening him on Oxygen addict podcast about 4 years ago, I knew he was mature beyond his years, & special. Well done young man (&team).
T'es le GOAT mec, merci pour les émotions !
Bravo Sam, quelle performance. On a des frissons du début à la fin. On se croisera un jour 🏊♂🚴♀🏃
Incredible performance. Magic is with you.
You know it’s a great documentary if the show felt like 10 minutes long but it’s actually an hour long! Worth the watch, great to see all sides talking about you and the event. Had the pleasure of meeting you Sam at the finish line, just humble and really worthy winner. Would like to note a very very special mention to Florence (+ Michelle!) for the exceptional subtitles on the video. Hard work I know but it’s so appreciated by me and the Deaf community. Wishing you all happiness and success and I look forward in more videos! All the best 🤟🏻
thank you sooo much!! You are so inspiring. I hope you come back to Lanzarote next year ❤❤❤
Good luck Sam, this is just the beginning - you'll create world records for sure, keep it up and good luck :)
What a great production!!! Well done all of you!!! BTW.: great you have Ronnie at your side. Good job Sam!
Maravilloso documental!😍😍
Such an inspiration, continue à nous faire rêver!
Awesome video congratulations, and amazing to be able to share the win with the family.
Really a dream come true 🎉
.. next up, Kona🎉🎉🎉🎉
Huge!!!
Inspirant depuis le début, depuis le TOP 8 à Saint-Georges on entendait déjà ton envie de gagner un jour ces championnats dans le pdcast Devenir Triathlete. Depuis ce jour, nous avons toujours suivi tes traces, tu m'as personnellement fédéré et amené sur les formats IronMan. Tu es source d'inspiration Sam, tu incarnes courage, rigueur et discipline. Bravo pour cette performance et continue de nous régaler !
Merci Sam, ton plus grand souhait est en marche, tu influences déjà les plus jeunes que toi, mais aussi les plus vieux …😅
Merci pour la motivation, l’influence, les conseils et tout ce que tu dégages ! Merci
Tellement inspirant ! Pour nos enfants qui rêvent comme toi, tu as ouvert la voie pour toute une future génération de triathlète. Mais ton rêve n'est pas encore achevé, let's fly again Baby ! 🐦
Incredible film by Acro!
I liked the video even before watching ahah... and I didn't regret it! Immense merci pour l'inspiration et les émotions !
Brilliant. Sam's energy is so positive and inspiring. Thank you.
Our pleasure! Thanks a lot
No words man! No word!!👊👊
The end bit with the goal and the plan, Wow! 😮
Been following the now world champion for some time now, I sat in front of the TV and said to my wife “God I hope Sam wins this” and you totally smashed it massive congratulations. Thankyou so much for this documentary what an inspirational human and totally inspirational family. Absolutely love the family approach and support. If I can give my children a fraction of the support we see in this documentary then I’ll be a happy Dad. I salute you all for sharing a snippet of your lives with us. Look forward to cheering you all on from afar. Totally believe that your just getting started and can’t wait to see the battles ahead. Really loved this ❤️😀👍
Already a legend. What a journey... (what a quality docu, had goosbumps... definitly want to see more video in this GOAT-youtube chanel)
Cheers mate! Means a lot!
Pedazo de video. Realmente inspirador. Un campeon en todos los sentidos
Epic documentary, loved it. Allez les bleus!
So good!
Magnifique reportage qui motive encore plus de se dépasser ! Un exemple pour beaucoup ! J’espère te croiser à Nice 2024 encore merci champion ❤️
Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Congratulations!
Very interesting!
Thanks for watching!
Les frissons du début à la fin 🔥
Bravo Sam tu l'as tellement mérité et merci pour nous avoir fait vivre celà 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing video! You literally inspired me to start triathlon training at 25 after battling depression for a decade. I can't imagine the impact you have on the youth. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot mate, I haven’t talked about it specifically but I also battled with depression a 18months when I started my long course career. Health is key mate, and sport can play a big role in finding the right balance to keep you happy!
@@LaidlowSam I'm glad you overcame it, feels good to know you're not alone. And you are absolutely right, physical activity and structured training were key to my recovery and still are. Thanks for the small exchange, take care mate!
@@LaidlowSamHealth is key - I agree. Physical & mental health. It's an interaction. For almost 3 decades in my life I have struggled with "various substances" and (as a result of this) at times with mental problems... 2.5 years ago an interview with Jan Frodeno captivated me and motivated me to move my destroyed body and i started to 🏃♂️. I was looking for peace, for balance, in my life... Jan radiated that intensely back then and I wanted that too! Soon the 🏊♂️ & 🚴♂️ were added. The start of a new life!💥 In the dark years I picked up the phone and ordered drugs...and i'm not (!) proud of it. However, I am proud that today I produce my own “drugs”! Endorphins & Co. are the better stuff!😉Triathlon is my medicine and more and more a true love. Anyway...I wish you above all good health and a really good time! Sporty greetings from Berlin/Germany🙋♂️
Triathlon is great for your mind! I started when I had bad anxiety and now 5 years later I can't imagine my life without it. Keep at it
@@LaidlowSam Thanks a lot for that, man. I'm literally crying. This means so much for me to hear it out of your mouth.
Merci Sam ! 🙏
Juste bravo, vidéo passionnante émouvante et rythmée. Merci de partager un peu ce rêve éveillé de manière si naturelle !
Savoir où je vais,comment j’y vais et pourquoi j'y vais !! Bravo sam
Wow … loved it ❤
Amazing stuff man! Loved it. Don't speak French, but I thought it was really cool how you went back and forth between the English and French.
Cool 👍🏼 you should be able to put the English subtitles to understand it all
Super documentaire !
What an incredible documentary! Congratulations on your well planned world championship, Sam. I loved watching this and you have inspired me to qualify for world champs (age grouper :-)). I’m sure you will continue to do so well, you have an amazing team! Hopefully I’ll meet/see you at world champs next year! Take care and best wishes, Craig (South African)
Brilliant documentary. So good to see how close you are with your friends and family and the positive impact you have. It’s fantastic to see your strong work ethic and commitment, you totally deserve all your success and will have a lot more to come 👏👏👏
I particularly liked the box opening at the end with so many great quotes. Stay healthy and happy Sam, you are inspirational.
Thanks for such kind words!
Amazing video - what a raw talent and what a beautiful family
Thank you so much!
