Dr Richard Young on Turning Potential into Performance


Listen Later

Are you looking for deeper, more impactful development? The answer is strategic simplicity. 

My guest today is Dr Richard Young, keynote speaker, author, and adviser to sports leaders, teams, and professionals around the world. He has won international gold medals in cycling, coached world champions, created medal-winning programmes for three countries, and has been described as a ‘world-class performance creator’.

Born in the UK, raised in Canada, and now living with his four children in Dunedin, New Zealand, Richard earned his PhD in engineering and medical science and has studied the key differences between what athletes and their teams do who win medals and those who don’t.

In this conversation, Richard shares his system for turning potential into performance, starting with an idea he calls the ‘busy middle’.
