The Real Definition of High Performance

High performance is defined as the ability to operate at peak potential, a concept simplified into a formula of performance equaling potential minus distractions. Distractions can range from climate conditions to internal dialogues that often undermine confidence. The biggest distractions are not external but internal, stemming from a negative self-dialogue that can hold individuals back from achieving their best. Recognizing this inner voice, whether it acts as a critic or coach, is crucial for overcoming barriers to high performance.
