About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
This audiobook contains an exclusive Q&A with Jake and Damian, answering questions posed by listeners of the High Performance Podcast.
How do Olympic medal-winning athletes turbo-charge their motivation?
How do multi-millionaire founders develop the habits of champions?
And how do Premier League football coaches lead their teams to victory?
High Performance reveals the methods the world's most remarkable athletes, coaches and entrepreneurs use to excel.
From taking responsibility for your situation to finding your 'trademark behaviours', thinking flexibly to crafting a high performance culture, Jake Humphrey and Professor Damian Hughes identify the eight crucial steps to becoming the best 'you' possible.
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.
Drawing on conversations with: Dina Asher-Smith, Steven Bartlett, Tom Daley, Steven Gerrard, Evelyn Glennie, Kelly Holmes, Chris Hoy, Eddie Jones, Siya Kolisi, Frank Lampard, Jo Malone, Matthew McConaughey, Ant Middleton, Tracey Neville, Robin Van Persie, Mauricio Pochettino, Gareth Southgate, Holly Tucker, Jonny Wilkinson, Clive Woodward, Toto Wolff and many more....

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
