Curious Minds at Work

CM 245: Sally Jenkins on Elevating Your Performance


Listen Later

Winning athletes and coaches have a lot to teach us. They’re asked to perform at the highest level, day in and day out, and they face enormous pressure to succeed.
Faced with these expectations, the most successful ones must continually elevate their performance. But how?
That’s a question Sally Jenkins has spent a career trying to answer. Through her work as a sportswriter at The Washington Post, she discovered the formula great players use to succeed, and she shares it with us in her latest book, The Right Call: What Sports Teach Us about Work and Life.
It’s a fascinating set of insights that will help you elevate your own performance.
