Description

In this Episode 92, we dive into the reason why many high performing athletes don't achieve their full potential. 


High performance can be tough; it demands consistency and dedication. Let's consider an athlete's journey: from amateur to competitive, to elite, and finally, to high performance. It's a rigorous process that requires intense commitment.


And talent alone doesn't guarantee success. A study in the late 80s examined the top 1% of high performing athletes worldwide, across various sports. While some were indeed gifted, a significant majority achieved success through something else. 


In this episode, we discuss: 



  • Why Even Talented Athletes Struggle to Reach Peak Performance – the other factors that propel high-performing athletes

  • The High-Performance Athlete's Mindset – what sets them apart from the rest

  • The Key to Consistency – how top 1% athletes sustain their success

  • What’s Beyond Physicality – the non-physical factors impacting high performance athletes' success

  • Avoiding the Bunny Hopping Effect – how to optimise training for high performance

  • Breaking Barriers – how coaches and athletes can collaborate to design their success


So to understand the journey of high-performing athletes, from amateur to elite and what sets them apart from the rest, this episode is a must-listen.
