“IN TODAYS CORPORATE WORLD, YOU EITHER PERFORM TO THE MAX OR DON´T PLAY”

The people I met were facing demands and stresses far greater than those faced by any world-class athlete I have ever known. There is almost always another game tomorrow, a chance for the player to make amends. We are all expected to accomplish more with less. Companies are being forced to streamline their operations, and achieve higher productivity without burning out, abandoning hope, losing the corporate vision, or breaking down personally.

Your goal is to gain greater insight into your feelings so that you can exert more control over them, no matter how difficult the circumstances. Positive emotions such as calmness, relaxation, confidence, focus and openness. One of the most powerful tools for him was an imaginary “war room” we helped him to create a place in his own mind that he began to visit before every race.

The only way to meet the challenge of optimal performance is to train mentally, physically, an emotionally every day of your life. You have to know how you are. That means training every day, balance the stress in your live with equal does of recovery.
