First Friday: Faster, Higher, Stronger - Lessons from the Elite Athletic World
Mark McClusky examines how elite athletes, their coaches, and the scientists who work with them pursue sporting greatness. But there are ways that the high-performance sports world approaches problems—a worldview—that has broad relevance far beyond the glare of the Olympic games or professional leagues. Those philosophies and common threads that run through the pursuit of athletic greatness aren’t just ways to win championships. They’re also ways to optimize other parts of our lives. From insights on competitive margins to the power of data to a philosophy that can drive decision-making in your business, these are some of the key lessons that all of us can learn from the very best athletes and coaches in the world.
