Summary

Matt discusses the long-term evolution of athletes with two real-life case studies of everyday people and athletes who reimagined and reinvented their approach to performance. The goal with each of these athletes? To raise their performance over the adversity of aspects such as age, injury, and a fixed mindset.

Your performance evolution is a journey and it is one that takes patience and time. It also takes courage - the courage to evolve an approach that may no longer serve you.

Do you have the courage to view your training through a different lens? These athletes did, and they are thriving as a result.
