If there was one thing that I could pick that would determine whether or not you can reach peak performance, and this is, you know, after being the three Olympics as a media person and working with a couple hundred olympians and you know dozen expeditions around the world to do pretty crazy stuff.

The one thing that I would say determines your success or failure in a critical moment of performance is whether or not you're focused.

If you are on task, if you have no distractions, if you are doing what needs to be doing and

that what you're doing is related to the performance itself you're going to be fine.

I've seen so many people go to the Olympic Games for example and get really into the

crowds and really into the media and doing the interviews and going to the sponsor events and

taking it all in and you know what that's totally fine if you want to do that but it's pretty universal that the people that do that end

up performing really poorly and the people that go in kind of hibernate go to their

hotel rooms totally focus on the performance basically basically go do practice, then go do massage, then go have a nap,

then go get some food, then go to bed, and completely ignore everything that is not directly

related to the performance itself, those are the ones that do well or at least reach

their potential and believe or not very few people go to the Olympics and go a lifetime best

performance.

It's so difficult, it's such a hard environment to perform in that really, you know, if you get anywhere near your lifetime best, you're probably in play for something really good to happen. I'm Sreeny Rao and this is the unmistakable creative podcast where you get a window
