Building Unstoppable Teams: Business Lessons Inspired by the World's Toughest Cycling Race
“A must-read for anyone who’s serious about building top-performance teams!” — Robert Dutton, former president and CEO at Rona and Adjunct professor at HEC Montréal

Today’s business leaders are always on the lookout for the information and tools to help them build high-performing teams, to lead with purpose, to remain engaged and to win the long game. Authors Sébastien Sasseville and Gabriel Renaud masterfully transform the lessons learned in the mind-blowing Race Across America into concrete, actionable and relatable business insights.
When Sébastien Sasseville, an athlete with type 1 diabetes, decided to take part in the Race Across America solo, he knew he was embarking on the most difficult ultra-cycling race in the world. What he didn’t realize was that this experience, and the work that needed to be done ahead of it, would inform his thinking around a team-building model that had application beyond sports and deep into workplaces and boardrooms.
This crossing of the United States from west to east, in a time trial of no more than 12 days, forces the riders to stay in the saddle for about 21 hours a day. The challenge is impossible to accomplish without an exceptional team that follows and supports the cyclist night and day.
Together, Sébastien and co-author Gabriel Renaud, a high-performance athlete, corporate trainer and leader of the race team, have taken the model they used to build the Race Across America team and written Building Unstoppable Teams, a tool kit for building highly engaged teams that can accomplish the exceptional.
