The performance mind may be touted as the last frontier of human performance - but what we’re talking about today has nothing to do with the exploration of the various factors that affect endurance and how much -- or how little -- we know about each of them.

Today it’s all about concrete insights by doing an inventory of your mental strengths and weaknesses and then using some recommended tools and skills to improve your mental performance in two ways - one, make your bad days less bad and two, make your good days more gooder or I should, better.

Because if we’re talking about longevity which is how I see people get to their potential - no shortcuts - what you do on the bad days matters more than the good days. Meaning, what you do when you don’t feel like it - when everything seems hard - matters more to the ultimate outcome of performance than what you do when it’s easy.

And your mental state plays a key role in that.
