This season on three things, rezoning in on one theme, peak performance.

What does it take to achieve greatness?

How do you maintain it?

And how do you continually find areas to improve in every area of your life?

People are driven by different things.

To me, the great peak performance out there are the people that are driven by this notion of

there's always another gear.

There's always a way to get

better. It's two people, 20 minutes, and three things with Rick Elias. Today's guest is Andy Roddick,

the former number one professional tennis player in the world. Andy won the U.S. Open in 2003,

and the next year he broke the record for the world's fastest serve at 155 miles per hour.

That's one sixth the speed of the rotation of the earth.

He held on to a top 10 world ranking for nearly a decade, and then on his 30th birthday suddenly announced his retirement.

Rick asked Andy what it takes to become number one.

How do you sustain that level of performance over time?

And how do you make the call when it's time to move on to something else?

This is three things with Rick Elias.

I appreciate it.

Andy, let's get right to it.

You were number one in the world that's something that is hyper competitive.
