| 0:00.0 | Hey there, welcome back to another short episode from High Performance, where myself and our |
| 0:08.3 | high-performing expert, Damien Hughes, just have a chat to explore the secrets behind the world's most high-performing people. |
| 0:15.2 | We'll hear from you in this episode. We'll also hear from some of our previous guests on high-performance. |
| 0:20.1 | If you want to feature in one of these conversations, then all you need to do is just head to the high performance socials, leave some comments or some questions on our posts, and you might just feature right here. |
| 0:30.0 | So Damien, how are you? |
| 0:32.0 | I'm good, mate. How are you? You're right? |
| 0:34.0 | But it's only a week ago that you and I had a conversation where we were full of optimism, full of hope, talking about |

| 1:12.4 | Spain had a better tournament than we did and yet |
| 1:15.2 | we were four minutes away from potentially causing an upset and while it is |
| 1:20.7 | disappointed not to come first in the tournament I I think it's also a reflection on the levels of expectations that we have over the last few years with this England team. |
| 1:31.6 | Now, I think this is interesting because I think expectation is the perfect word to use here. |
| 1:35.4 | Right, you know, this podcast is called high performance, right? |
| 1:37.9 | So you would expect us to have a conversation about what it takes to win something, not just be part of something. |
| 1:43.7 | But I think actually we can have a conversation that Garrett improved England, |
