Hi there, welcome along to another episode of high performance.

This is one of our regular bite-size conversations where we don't take up an hour of your time.

I know some of you can't afford that but we also want to give you

some value from high performance and you are also central to these conversations

and usually Damien and I would sit down we talk to the planet's highest performers

but in these episodes we like to catch up with each other

talk about the things that have impacted us, the messages that we've received from you and the things

that we're thinking about at the moment. Hi there Damien.

Hi Jake, you're right. Really well, mate, thanks very much.

So today marks the start of the Olympic Games in Paris.

And we've spoken to so many Olympians over the last few years since we started high performance.

And something that always sort of

resonates with us is that we're asking people to perform to the very best of

their ability for a miniscule amount of time with the world's eyes on them

having had to wait four years since they

last got this opportunity. It is unique to the world of sport. It's certainly

unique to the to the world of business, pretty unique to the world of high performance as well

So when we talk about this what have you learned from the athletes that we've spoken to about how all of us can perform at our peak when it really matters?

Well I think that there's a word in that last sentence that you just use there

Jake that that gives us a really good insight into what we're going to watch

over the next couple of weeks. There's different types of performance.

If you think of what you just described there is peak performance is being able to show up on a certain day at a certain time
