EP3: How To Continually Perform At Your Best with Dr Scott Drawer (Team Sky) & Henry Cheetham

Welcome back. In today’s episode and part two of my chat with Scott, we discuss the similarities between high pressure boardrooms and preparing for the Tour de France.

Scott breaks down the misconceptions around the phrase ‘marginal gains’, what it takes to repeatedly perform at the highest level under pressure and how to rediscover your innate, child-like curiosity within.

You can expect to understand;

- How to adapt and evolve quicker than the competition

- How to create a deep sense of connection in your company

- And how to repeatedly perform at your best
