Stay at the Top 9. 10 lessons from 10 years in pro sport Pt. 1
Many of you may not be aware of where I spent the majority of my professional career but I actually spent a decade working with 7 different professional sports teams.
During that time I was fortunate to be a part of teams that won premierships, championships and made a number of grand finals.
From this I have been able to take away so many lessons and learnings from these incredible athletes.
I believe that many of this lessons can be applied to other high performance industries and in this episode I want to share a glimpse of some of the key lessons our athletes know that you should know too.
In this episode I share:
- My experience working with elite athletes
- What elite athletes are taught about nutrition that many of us don’t know
- What pre-hab is and how it can help you as much as it helps athletes
- The importance of daily routines and rituals
- How elite athletes periodise their training and how doing the same can help you
- How rest is important for elite athletes and is for you too
- The ways athletes utilise rest
- How we can bring that rest strategy to high performance and leadership
- The other parts of rest besides just sleeping
- How seeking therapy can help with rest
- The importance of building mental resilience
- The sort of hurdles athletes and high performers may encounter that require resilience
Key Quotes
“Elite athletes understand that nutrition is a key component to optimising their performance and enhancing their longevity.”
