How do Olympic medal-winning athletes turbo-charge their motivation?

Along the way, they draw on cutting-edge research to explain why these methods work - and how we can all use them. Anyone can learn the secrets of high performance.

Must read
Great listen and some very interesting inputs from Clive Woodward & Jonny Wilkinson, especially going over the non negotiable, no wonder they won the rugby WC with the leaders they had.

Fantastic book!
I absolutely love this book! There are so many great things to take away from it. I’m going through a tough time currently and this book has really helped to motivate and inspire me. I’ve listened through audible once without taking notes but will be listening again with a pen and paper handy. I’m now working through the podcasts too. I would thoroughly recommend!

Brilliant
Simply brilliant, the most informative and inspiring thing I have read/heard in a very long time. Love the fresh, honest, non-preachy approach. We are all different, and allowed to be different and should celebrate the best we can be.

Game changer
Absolutely brilliant listen. Jake and Damian aren't trying to reinvent the wheel here but simply putting great ideas into a layman's perspective so that the people educated in the university of life rather than academics can understand.
Well done

Sooo glad they made a book
What an awesome book, I especially like the chemistry between Damian and Jake. The narration was well paced and easy to follow. I wrote so many notes and have gone back to many of my favourite podcast episodes during me reading this summary. Well done, this is a triumph.
