    I am frequently asked what the best approach is to analysis of a performance. How deep should we go into analysis of our performance and for how long should we analyze?

  • Activation Energy
    Anything that we do (or don't do) has an amount of activation energy associated with it. If you did that thing then the activation energy was worth the cost. If you didn't then it wasn't. Simple as that.

  • Neuroplasticity
    For quite some time the prevailing though was that our brain and it's functioning capacity was genetic.

  • When a Lion Tracker loses the Trail

I highly recommend giving it a read or listen.
