Send us a text
Peak performance isn’t about pushing yourself to the max. It’s about staying in control, relaxed, and trusting the process. In this episode, we dive into the 85% Rule with Carl Lewis—how he stayed composed in the early stages of his races and trusted his flow. Over-effort can lead to burnout, but relaxed, focused effort allows your full potential to come through. Whether you’re on the field or in business, learning to stay composed and trusting your preparation will elevate your performance.
