In this episode, we have five lessons from high performance, taken from five separate guests who have appeared on the show, all of whom have reached the highest level in their field. 

First up, we have Nick Symmonds, two time Olympian, discuss his experience of dealing with the highs and lows of being a professional athlete and how, by working with a sport psychologist, he learned to enjoy his career rather than resent it. 

We then hear from Mark Beaumont, ultra endurance adventurer and multiple world record holder, explain how learning our trade is vital for long term success and how we must ride the emotional rollercoaster and not see each situation as a steady state. 

James Newbury, Crossfit Games athlete, explains how a wealth of different experiences growing up has lead to him becoming a successful athlete and how learning the art of delayed gratification is crucial for performance. 

Dylan Hartley, former England rugby captain, then discusses what it was like to lead his country in such a high performance environment under the coaching of Eddie Jones

Finally, Gaz Banford, former Sergeant Major of the SBS, talks about what we can do to adopt a high performance mindset and outlines how, nowadays, it’s too easy to see people being successful rather than appreciating the journey that has lead to their success.

Expect to learn what it takes to be a high performer.
