Tim finds real drive
TIM Van Berkel’s effort to finish second at the Sunshine Coast 70.3 is another tick for the good guys.
Here is a bloke who isn’t bankrolled by a billionaire. Like all in triathlon his motivation is twofold: internal strength and a sheer desire not to go financially belly-up.
With a growing family, Van Berkel conceded he’s in need of results in order to land precious sponsors to keep his dream rolling.
Every result matters and nothing drives motivation quite like fear.
Van Berkel was able to shut-out those doubts to deliver a powerful run and claim a podium spot, a welcome boost ahead of the world titles in Kona next month.
