Many of you may not be aware of where I spent the majority of my professional career but I actually spent a decade working with 7 different professional sports teams.

During that time I was fortunate to be a part of teams that won premierships, championships and made a number of grand finals.

From this I have been able to take away so many lessons and learnings from these incredible athletes.

I believe that many of this lessons can be applied to other high performance industries and in this episode I want to share a glimpse of some of the key lessons our athletes know that you should know too.

In this episode I share:

-      My experience working with elite athletes

-      What elite athletes are taught about nutrition that many of us don’t know

-      What pre-hab is and how it can help you as much as it helps athletes

-      The importance of daily routines and rituals

-      How elite athletes periodise their training and how doing the same can help you

-      How rest is important for elite athletes and is for you too

-      The ways athletes utilise rest

-      How we can bring that rest strategy to high performance and leadership

-      The other parts of rest besides just sleeping

-      How seeking therapy can help with rest

-      The importance of building mental resilience

-      The sort of hurdles athletes and high performers may encounter that require resilience

Key Quotes

“Elite athletes understand that nutrition is a key component to optimising their performance and enhancing their longevity.”

“Most people don’t know how good they can actually feel and this is a by-product of you having never experienced it.”

“We don’t want to reach burn out or break down before we change and unfortunately that is often the case.”
