“Why are you here?”
It’s a question I was genuinely asked when I first started working in professional sport. And it wasn’t meant kindly.
I spent twenty years inside elite professional sport. Not as an athlete, but as a behind the scener. One of those people you walk past in the street with absolutely no idea who they are or what they’ve been doing that day. The ones keeping everything going, moving and performing, but always in the background.
I had the unique and privileged position of watching it all play out, literally, without ever putting my body on the line. And what I saw, day after day, season after season, is that so much of what makes elite performance work is simple. It’s applicable. And it’s available to everyone.
There is a lot of noise out there about how to do this stuff. Optimise this. Hack that. Follow this system. Actually? It’s really quite simple.
These principles are not reserved for the top 1%. Well, actually it’s more like 0.1% if you truly work out the stats for professional athletes, but that’s a conversation for another day. Everyone can have access to these tools. And that’s what I’m here for.
Every episode delivers one lesson from sport, one story from me, and one thing you can take away and use today.
