| 0:24.4 | Today we're going to dig into sleep a little bit, which of course is your cheapest and |

| 0:55.7 | and to understand your own biometrics so that you can create focus and prioritisation on the |
| 1:02.2 | elements that are actually going to drive your performance levels. It's a tool called inside |
| 1:06.3 | tracker. I leverage it. I like my athletes to leverage it as well. It's very, very simple. By taking a look |

| 1:16.5 | team of scientists and experts inside tracker, you get the precise focus elements that you |
| 1:22.3 | should focus on so that you can drive all of the key elements of performance success. |
| 1:29.1 | The best thing is, your results are quantifiable and trackable. By further reassessments, you can see what's actually moved the |
| 1:34.5 | performance dial and also where you need to shift your emphasis for the upcoming phase. It's very, |
| 1:40.2 | very simple. All you need to do is head to insidetracker.com slash purple patch. |
