The magic words for the sports performer is consistent and predicable performance. Most performers carry around a terminal low-grade ever-present anxiety about their next performance whether that’s in training or competition.
This festering preoccupation steals energy that reduces performance and eats into recovery.
Nothing small is insignificant as one small thing can disrupt an entire system from producing its best result.
Small things include frictions or omissions.
A tiny muscle imbalance or missing nutrient compromise performance.
By far the fastest way to create better performance is to do something that isn’t sport specific. And, I say that because most committed performers have covered most of the major requirements to perform well so spending exponentially more time there to eek out micro-improvements not always the best use of time.
A top performer I work with is performing extraordinarily well at the moment.
To build on that by doing more specific to the discipline carries a big risk of doing 1% too much that takes the edge off their performance at the level which is the difference between winning and losing.
I told them that to gain the 1% to win big in the world they play at can come from developing a side of them that builds their spirit, resiliency, and enthusiasm for life itself.
We looked at his life and things he had done in his past that he no longer does.
And, I might add he is very different from the typical athlete as, in addition to his intense training at the Olympic level, he likes photography, reading, and taking online college classes.
As our conversation continued he told me that he studied the violin for 10 years but hadn’t touched one for about a decade. I never knew that. And, when he told me that I instantly understood why he was different.
On the spot, I told him the best thing he could do for himself was to get out his violin and play it again as this would re-awaken a side of him that has been dormant for years. And, by doing so his life would be more enriched and he would have an overall higher life enthusiasm that would translate to a 1-2% boost in his athletic performance.
He found his violin, dusted it off, and played for 45-minutes for the first time in a decade.
Despite how rusty he was a part of his life was reignited and as the result he has gained another 1-2% in sports performance that no amount of additional training would have gained him access to.
Becoming a better person makes a better athlete.
Never discount the value of that.

At just nine years old, I used to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to practice hitting a baseball up and down our street. That competitive spirit led to winning a national championship at just ten years old and then becoming an Olympian at twenty-one.
For the past forty years, I’ve been a professional student of human achievement. I’ve been driven by this unshakable question: why do some people succeed and others fail?
After retiring from professional competition, I went back to school to earned advanced degrees in health and wellness. In the decades since then, I’ve worked with athletes in nearly every professional sport, Olympic gold medalists, and millionaire entrepreneurs. I’ve had a front-row seat as I watched these world-class achievers do what they do.

Imagine yourself in a group of 100 people – roughly half of the number that will fit in the average movie theater. Now consider this: Roughly 15 of those people are actively suffering from a B12 deficiency. They are tired, weak, predisposed to illness, suffer from memory loss and nerve dysfunction. Some experience fairly severe symptoms, while others are gradually feeling worse – usually without even realizing it!
And no – this is not a joke or an exaggeration. According to the National Institute of Health, up to 15% of people are deficient in B12, which makes it one of the most common nutritional deficiencies.
With this in mind, we believe it is important that everyone becomes educated on this critical nutrient: What it is, what it does for your body, where to get it, how to avoid a deficiency, and then finally, the BEST ways to reap the benefits of having optimal B12 levels.

Over the last 50 years, “fat” has become a bad word.
Foods are marketed as “low fat” and “fat-free” based on the idea that dietary fats are bad for your heart and are linked to weight gain.
Fortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth, according to modern scientific research by experts in the health field.
